                    TRIBUTE TO SHERIFF DANNY HICKMAN

 Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, today I wish to honor Boone County 
Sheriff Danny Hickman for his commitment to safety and law enforcement 
during 14 years at the helm of the sheriff's department.
  Sheriff Hickman made a career of helping others, serving in the fire 
department, medical, and law enforcement fields, as well as the Boone 
County Quorum Court before being elected sheriff in 1998.
  His dedication to safety and law enforcement has been instrumental in 
the improvements within the department and the services available to 
the citizens of Boone Country. Sheriff Hickman made 21st century 
improvements to office computers, patrol cars, and provided resources 
for additional training for officers and staff.
  In addition, he continuously strived for opportunities to learn the 
newest methods available to law enforcement officers in programs 
offered by the University of Arkansas division of Criminal Justice 
Institute and to help meet the needs of rural communities during the 
Rural Executive Management Institute.
  His efforts helped bring nearly $\1/2\ million in Federal grants for 
school resource officers, a domestic violence officer, radio and camera 
equipment for area schools, and law enforcement services in Boone 
County. Sheriff Hickman made safety improvements a priority.
  He has a true passion to making sure the people of Arkansas. Sheriff 
Hickman is the past president of the Arkansas Sheriff's Association and 
currently serves on the Arkansas Association of Counties Risk 
Management Trustees Board.
  I congratulate Sheriff Danny Hickman for his successes in law 
enforcement and keeping Arkansas citizens safe. I wish him continued 
success in the future. We are all grateful for his years of service and 
leadership in Boone County.
