  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Sgt. Larry Gibson, 
who is leaving the Madison Heights Police Department after 25 years of 
dedicated service.
  During Sgt. Gibson's service, he devoted a good portion of his time 
to the young people in the community. Specifically, he created the 
Madison Heights, ``Say No To Drugs'' rally, and he started the D.A.R.E. 
and G.R.E.A.T. programs in the city's schools designed to help our 
students resist drugs and reduce violence.
  He was a specialized training instructor in a myriad of areas ranging 
from accident investigation to gang resistance education.
  Sgt. Gibson is the recipient of many well-deserved awards and 
commendations, beginning in 1984 until the present. The people of 
Madison Heights, and especially the young people, have been well-served 
by his commitment to making their city a safer and better place.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in wishing good health, 
happiness and success to a dedicated police officer, Sgt. Larry Gibson.
