                  IN HONOR OF DETECTIVE RONALD GARLAND

 Mr. CARPER. Mr. President, today I commend detective Ronald 
Garland of the Delaware State Police High Technology Crimes Unit.
  Just more than 1 year ago, Detective Garland was assigned to a case 
involving Internet predators taking advantage of children.
  Inspired by his sense of urgency to protect young children, Detective 
Garland worked late nights and weekends, often without compensation, 
sifting through voluminous computer data.
  Today, we honor him for his exhaustive work to help identify 10 
suspects and to coordinate their arrests with local law enforcement 
agencies. His great efforts ultimately lead to the prosecutions of 
these culprits in Federal court.
  Detective Garland's concern for the children in our community and his 
willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty has garnered our 
great respect and admiration.
  I salute Detective Garland as a hero for keeping our children safe, 
and I urge others to follow his brilliant example. His determination 
and meticulous investigative work are truly commendable.
  Detective Garland is truly a hero for the State of Delaware and for 
our entire Nation and its children.
