                      Thursday, September 16, 2010

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Deputy 
Sheriff Kyle Christine VanOcker. Ms. VanOcker passed away August 19, 
2010 after a heroic battle with lung cancer.
  Kyle's career in law enforcement began in 1986 as a police dispatcher 
for the Wheat Ridge Colorado Police Department. In 1989 Kyle joined the 
Jefferson County Sheriffs Department. During her years of service to 
the community, which spanned 24 years, Kyle received many awards and 
touched several lives by seeing the good in everyone.
  Kyle was a model for outstanding service to her community and in 
honor of her memory, her family sponsored a K-9 dog for the Jefferson 
County Sheriff's Department. The Department is naming the dog Kyle.
  Kyle had a very large support group from many walks of life which is 
a testament to the values she possessed. She will be remembered as a 
dedicated friend and committed to making her community better for all 
of us.
