  TRIBUTE TO CORPORAL LEE KARR OF THE CITY OF PUEBLO, COLORADO POLICE 
                               DEPARTMENT

                                 ______

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 20, 2016

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Corporal Lee Karr of 
the City of Pueblo Colorado Police Department for his outstanding duty 
and assistance to the citizens of Pueblo. During his normal duties of 
the day, Corporal Lee Karr went above and beyond his call of duty to 
assist a victim of robbery.
  On September 12, 2016, Corporal Karr, and a fellow officer, were 
called to assist a 51 year old woman who had been a victim of robbery 
at a bus stop in the City of Pueblo, Colorado.

Karr and the other officer carried out their protocol, and then Officer 
Karr took his commitment of public service to another level.
  After comforting the victim, Karr placed her in a cool, air-
conditioned police car and began assisting her with sorting out issues 
associated with the items that were stolen. The victim needed a new 
State of Colorado ID, bank and Medicaid cards--all the items that were 
stolen from her purse. Corporal Karr paid for these items out of his 
own pocket without any hesitation. Once the issue of her cards were 
resolved, Corporal Karr drove the victim to her destination and then, 
finally to her home.
  Mr. Speaker, Corporal Karr went above and beyond the call of public 
service to assist a member of his community. I commend him on a job 
well done, and thank him for serving as an exemplary model of public 
service and safety. Each and every day law enforcement officers perform 
these selfless acts of kindness and generosity in their communities. I 
am proud to honor Corporal Karr and his commitment to the City of 
Pueblo and its people.
