  Mr. VARGAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Scott Oberg for his 
outstanding commitment and dedication of 29 years of service to law 
enforcement, specifically the California Highway Patrol, the community, 
and his service to the United States of America.
  Scott Oberg began his law enforcement career as an officer when he 
joined the California Highway Patrol El Centro Area Office on May 23, 
1985 after graduating from the academy. Soon after, Scott Oberg served 
as a Field Training Officer from 1988 until 2002; during this time he 
trained seventeen officers, served on the Critical Incident 
Investigations Team from 2009 until 2012, as Court Officer from 2011 to 
2013, and currently serves as a Front Desk Officer.
  Additionally, from 1992 to 1996, Scott Oberg served on the elite 
Imperial County Narcotics Task Force, where he participated in 24 
undercover investigations and assisted in many seizures and arrests. 
Furthermore, Scott Oberg has an exemplary record of approximately 
21,000 citations issued, 1,000,000 patrol miles, 12,000 motorist 
services, 900 collisions investigations, 425 DUI arrests and 95 felony 
arrests.
  I applaud Scott Oberg for his distinguished service to California, 
the Imperial Valley community, and California's 51st Congressional 
District.
