  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable Law Enforcement Officer, Mr. Tony Warren who is a lifelong 
resident of Mound Bayou, Mississippi.
  Mr. Warren is the son of the late William Hampton and the late 
Roberta Scott Warren.
  Mr. Warren entered law enforcement in 1990 as dispatcher for the City 
of Mound Bayou Police Department, and progressed to the positions of: 
Patrolman, Fire Chief, and his current position, Chief of Police.
  In his desire to expand his law enforcement career in 2007, he became 
a Correctional Field Officer, formerly known as a Parole Officer. As a 
Correctional Field Officer he assists former inmates with employment 
and housing opportunities, as well as addictive behavior placement for 
reintroduction into family and society. He regularly attends trainings 
to become aware of societal threats and what technical resolutions will 
be best for his day-to-day utilization.
  His love of law enforcement played a tremendous role in enhancing his 
love for his hometown and the need to protect and serve the community. 
Therefore, he has an open door policy for the residents and visitors. 
Chief Warren believes in communication between the police department 
and the people they serve to enhance the community.
  Mr. Warren has received numerous awards for his community and 
academic involvement with the Mound Bayou School District, AARP and 
other civic organizations.
  Mr. Warren is the youngest of eight siblings: Joyce, James, Ella, 
Odis, Ivory, Justeen, Veronica, and Kenny (deceased).
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing an amazing 
law enforcement officer for his dedication and service to his 
profession.
