  CHIEF JAMES CARMODY, WYOMING, MICHIGAN POLICE DEPARTMENT, MICHIGAN 
                        POLICE CHIEF OF THE YEAR

  (Mr. HUIZENGA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HUIZENGA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a humble 
public servant and someone, frankly, I am proud to call a friend, Chief 
James Carmody of the Wyoming, Michigan, Police Department, who was 
recently named Michigan Police Chief of the Year.
  Jim Carmody began his career in 1975 as a police officer in Port 
Huron, Michigan, where he rose to the rank of deputy chief. In 2006, 
Jim made the decision to join the Wyoming Police Department as chief 
and call west Michigan home.
  Chief Carmody has led the charge to strengthen the relationship 
between police officers and the community that they serve, while 
providing the residents of Wyoming, Michigan, with topnotch law 
enforcement.
  Chief Carmody's relentless commitment to public safety doesn't end 
there. He also chairs the Michigan Police Chiefs' Traffic Safety 
Committee and was recently appointed to serve on the Governor's Traffic 
Safety Commission.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Second District of Michigan, I 
congratulate Chief Carmody on being named the top Michigan Police Chief 
for 2016. We thank him for his 42--and keep counting--years of service 
to Michigan and to our Nation.
