                          OFFICER DOUG BARNEY

  (Mrs. LOVE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. LOVE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor National Police Week. We owe 
a great deal of gratitude to the men and women who serve our 
communities by putting their lives on the line every day.
  Utah has lost 139 police officers since 1853, most recently, Officer 
Doug Barney of Salt Lake County Unified Police Department. Officer 
Barney died in the line of duty on January 17.
  Officer Barney was a dedicated 18-year veteran police officer, and 
loved every moment of his distinguished career. His kindness deeply 
touched the families and the community and sometimes even the people he 
arrested. He was known for his humor and compassion as well as his 
toughness.
  Ten thousand people attended his funeral. The State of Utah is truly 
a kinder service-oriented place because of police officers like Doug 
Barney. I am honored to recognize all of them here in the House of 
Representatives.
