                       Monday, November 14, 2016

  Mr. MEADOWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Captain Ricky 
Crisp of the McDowell County Sheriff's Department. On behalf of the 
people of Western North Carolina, I would like to thank Captain Crisp 
for his 24 years of service in McDowell County.
  Captain Crisp began work with the McDowell County Sheriff's 
Department in 1992 and soon became a full-time Deputy. He went on to 
serve as Patrol Deputy, Patrol Sergeant, and Detective. He was part of 
the McDowell County Sheriff's Office Honor Guard, a member of the 
Multi-Jurisdictional Highway Interdiction Team, and has also given his 
time as the Treasurer for Region C Criminal Justice Committee. By 2007, 
he had risen to the rank of Patrol Lieutenant and subsequently left to 
work as an investigator for the McDowell County District Attorney. In 
2008, Captain Crisp returned to the McDowell County Sheriff's 
Department and served as Patrol Captain until his retirement.
  For his decades of service, Captain Crisp was awarded numerous 
citations of appreciation and was nominated as the Law Enforcement 
Executive of the Year. Captain Crisp and his wife Tracy have been 
married for 30 years and have one daughter. In retirement, Captain 
Crisp leaves behind a long legacy of dedicated service to his 
Department and community.
  Captain Crisp is highly regarded and appreciated by the citizens of 
McDowell County, and by the broader Western North Carolina community. 
He has truly embodied the Sheriff's Department's spirit of integrity 
and service. I am honored to express the sincere congratulations and 
best wishes of the people of North Carolina on his retirement.
