Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Senior Police Officer Steven Snyder on the occasion of his retirement from the Euless Police Department. Officer Snyder has dedicated his life to service. Before beginning his career in law enforcement, he served our Nation as a Gunnery [[Page E661]] Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps from 1972 to 1994. Following his military service, he joined the City of Euless in July 1999 as a Police Officer and was promoted to Senior Police OffIcer in May 2003. Throughout his career, he has served with distinction as a Detective and Crime Scene Investigator. Officer Snyder's commitment to public safety, professionalism, and excellence has left a lasting impact on the Euless community. His extensive training in crime scene investigation, counterterrorism, gang intelligence, forensic pathology, and emergency response reflects his dedication to continually strengthening his ability to serve and protect others. In 2011, Officer Snyder was named Euless Police Officer of the Year, and he has received numerous letters of commendation throughout his career. His dedication to service also extends beyond the department through his involvement with organizations including the Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, Brotherhood of the Fallen, Masonic Lodge, Scottish Rite, and Shriners. I thank Officer Steven Snyder for his many years of honorable service to our Nation, the City of Euless, and the people of North Texas. I congratulate him on his well-earned retirement and wish him all the best in this next chapter. ____________________
