                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. SAM GRAVES

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 13, 2010

  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Bryan John 
Kunze of Fayette, Missouri, who is retiring this year after serving 24 
years as Police Chief; the longest service in the history of the city 
of Fayette.
  Mr. Kunze is a lifelong resident of Fayette, Missouri, graduating 
from Fayette High School in 1976. He went on to graduate from the 
University of Missouri Law Enforcement Training Institute and the FBI 
Law Enforcement Executive Development Course. He has completed more 
than 3,000 hours of law enforcement training throughout his prestigious 
career.
  Mr. Kunze has also vigorously served his community by going above and 
beyond his responsibilities as a deputy and as Police Chief. He has 
been an active volunteer fireman for the Fayette and Howard County 
rural fire department for more than 32 years; four of which he served 
as Fire Chief. Mr. Kunze was instrumental in spearheading the 911 
Committee which established the emergency procedure for his county. In 
addition, he was also appointed to the 911 board several times. 
Furthermore, he has maintained active service and memberships in the 
Missouri Police Chiefs Association, the Missouri Federation of Police 
Chiefs, the International Association of Police Chiefs, and the Mid-
Missouri Major Case Squad. He also serves the community as a deacon in 
his home church and current President of the Fayette City Cemetery.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in honoring Bryan John 
Kunze, who not only fulfilled his duties of service and leadership to 
his county and surrounding communities, but also set the bar for 
deputies and police chiefs across the nation. It is my privilege to 
represent such a deserving individual in the United States Congress.
