RECOGNIZING SERGEANT OLAV CHANEY

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 82 (Thursday, May 15, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 82 (Thursday, May 15, 2025)] [House] [Page H2066] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING SERGEANT OLAV CHANEY (Mr. CRANK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. CRANK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sergeant Olav Chaney, of the Colorado Springs Police Department, for his 35 years of service to our community. I had the pleasure of taking Sergeant Chaney and his family last night on a Capitol tour, and a delightful family he has. Sergeant Chaney has also served us in the United States Army. He has become a recognized leader within the police department, and Sergeant Chaney helps lead the Downtown Area Response Team and the Homeless Outreach Team, where he serves our vulnerable population with compassion and with grace. Sergeant Chaney has also served as Santa Claus for the Toys for Tots program. He is part of the honor guard, and he is an active participant in the Cadet Explorers program. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in Congress to join me in thanking Sergeant Olav Chaney for his dedication and his service to the Pikes Peak region, to Colorado, and to America. ____________________
