                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 28, 2009

  Mr. CARSON of Indiana. Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Deputy 
Kevin Vice for being recognized as Marion County's Sheriff's Deputy of 
the Year. Deputy Vice received this prestigious award for his 
courageous response to a gun shooting that took place while he was off-
duty. Without any back-up support he deftly maintained his composure as 
he helped a wounded victim, reported a run-away vehicle, called for 
emergency help and detained two individuals who had been near the scene 
of the crime. Due to his heroic actions, a suspect was later arrested.
  Deputy Vice has worked with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police 
Department and the Marion County Sheriff's Department, proudly serving 
the city of Indianapolis, Indiana as a law enforcement officer since 
2001. In addition to his extensive experience, it was his training that 
made the greatest difference last June in contributing to his heroic 
efforts.
  In going above and beyond the call of duty, Deputy Vice has 
personified the best that Marion County law enforcement has to offer. I 
would like to extend my most sincere thanks to Deputy Vice for his 
courageous dedication to the safety of our community.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in honoring Deputy 
Vice for his outstanding service and wish him continued success in his 
work as one of Indianapolis' finest public servants.
