                         Thursday, May 12, 2016

  Mrs. ELLMERS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, today I write in 
recognition of Detective Mike Copeland, a financial crimes investigator 
from Chatham County, North Carolina.
  For the past thirteen years he has served and protected the people by 
investigating crimes ranging from robbery and larceny to assault and 
homicide.
  Recently, Detective Copeland managed to recover $10,000 extorted from 
a victim. This noble effort marks just one example of how Detective 
Copeland continues to protect the ill-fated targets of malicious 
scammers.
  I would like to thank Detective Copeland for his outstanding service 
and his work to protect those who become victims of financial fraud.
