  HONORING SHIRLEY VERDE AS VILLAGE OF PINECREST POLICE DEPARTMENT'S 
                  OFFICER OF THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2015

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize police 
officer Shirley Verde on being named the Village of Pinecrest Police 
Department's Officer of the First Quarter of 2015.
  Officer Verde has consistently shown her commitment to her community 
and her fellow officers through her professionalism and dedicated 
service. She also has proven herself as an invaluable member of the 
Pinecrest police DUI enforcement program.
  A perfect example: in the early morning hours of March 1 of this 
year, Officer Verde successfully and safely resolved a situation where 
an impaired driver was traveling in the wrong direction on heavily 
trafficked U.S. 1. There is no doubt that her quick and decisive 
actions saved many lives.
  Officer Verde is incredibly worthy of this honor, and I thank her for 
her dedication and service to the people of my hometown, the Village of 
Pinecrest.
