Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 142 (Tuesday, September 8, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 142 (Tuesday, September 8, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E875] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING TEXAS-24 HOMETOWN HERO OFFICER TONARD WARMSLEY ______ HON. BETH VAN DUYNE of texas in the house of representatives Tuesday, September 8, 2026 Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize our Texas-24 Hometown Hero, Officer Tonard ``Tee'' Warmsley, a dedicated school resource officer at Coppell ISD. After serving in the U.S. Army, Officer Warmsley joined the City of Coppell Police Department in 2007, and has served in roles ranging from patrol officer to detective, and now as a School Resource Officer. In 2017, he was named Texas School Resource Officer of the Year by the Texas Association of School Resource Officers and continues to serve as a regional co-director, supporting officers across North Texas. His impact is best seen through his mentorship of students, like Coppell High School graduate Modjet Brown Jr., whom he has guided since middle school. From stepping in on Senior Night to standing beside him as he took his oath to join the U.S. Army. Officer Warmsley has consistently shown what it means to show up for North Texans. His commitment reflects a deep belief that mentorship can change lives and that every student deserves someone who believes in them. I thank Officer Tonard ``Tee'' Warmsley for his dedication and for making a meaningful difference in the lives of students and families across North Texas. ____________________
