  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Fort Worth 
Police Department East Division, in the 26th Congressional District of 
Texas for their outstanding work serving and protecting the communities 
of Fort Worth.
  This past May, I had the privilege of visiting the Fort Worth Police 
Department East Division. Captain Bryan Sudan provided me with a brief 
tour of the facility and explained how the divisions of the department 
interacted together.
  I also had the opportunity to ride along with veteran Officer Anthony 
Cutler and with Officer Thomas O'Brien and witnessed firsthand the high 
level of respect the officers have for the community and citizens. It 
was clear that the officers cared about the neighborhood and the people 
in it.
  On a day-to-day basis, these individuals place their lives on the 
line just to protect us all. They do this with bravery, strength, 
humility and dignity. They are selfless in their actions and 
compassionate people at heart. They only want safety for us all, and I 
am thankful for their service.
  Friendly, courteous, and professional only begins to describe the 
high caliber of officers employed with the Fort Worth Police Department 
East Division. I am honored to now represent the Fort Worth Police 
Department and send my sincere thanks for their service to the 
community.
