            REMEMBERING HILLIARD POLICE OFFICER SEAN JOHNSON

  (Mr. STIVERS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and service 
of Hilliard, Ohio, Police Officer Sean R. Johnson, who passed away last 
week in a tragic training accident.
  Officer Johnson's dedication to public service was evident when he 
made the decision to join the Air Force right out of high school in 
1988. After serving in the military and earning the rank of senior 
airman, he was hired at the Fairfield County Sheriff's Department, 
where he served until 1997.
  Officer Johnson joined the Hilliard Division of Police in October 
1999 and would stay with the department for the next 16 years. 
Throughout his 16 years with the Hilliard Division of Police, he was 
distinguished as one of the most valuable members of the police 
department. He was awarded multiple achievement citations during his 
time for his service above the normal call of duty in dangerous 
circumstances.
  He earned his associates degree in law enforcement from Columbus 
State Community College and was a father of two children, all while 
working to keep our community safe.
  I want to recognize Officer Sean Johnson for his incredible service 
to our community in Hilliard.
  I also want to offer my deepest condolences to his family at this 
difficult time.
