                       TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL D. LEE

 Mr. LEE. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize the career 
of Police Chief Michael D. Lee, who is retiring after 34 years with the 
Kaysville Police Department.
  Chief Lee was the eighth officer hired by Kaysville City in 1977. He 
started as the first school resource officer for Kaysville and rose 
through the ranks becoming a detective sergeant in 1988. He was 
subsequently promoted to lieutenant over the Patrol Services Division, 
and in 2007 he became the captain of the Investigative Services 
Division. In 2008, he was named chief of police for Kaysville City and 
has served the citizens honorably.
  During his time at the Kaysville Police Department, Lee has helped to 
oversee the force's evolution into the 21st century. As new 
technologies have become available, Lee has pushed the department to 
continue to modernize, acquiring equipment ranging from advanced speed 
radar systems to laptops for patrol cars.
  Passing the tradition of public service from one generation to 
another, Lee's son, Jason, has entered into his

own law enforcement career. He protects the public as a patrol sergeant 
for the Morgan County Sheriff's office.
  I join Kaysville Mayor Steve Hiatt and the local community in 
congratulating Michael D. Lee for his many years of dedicated service. 
I want to personally thank him for protecting and serving so many 
Utahns and bringing honor to a name that we share. His career is a 
testament to the accomplishments of hardworking police officers 
everywhere, and I congratulate him on his many achievements and 34 
years of excellence.
