NATIONAL POLICE WEEK

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 82 (Thursday, May 15, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 82 (Thursday, May 15, 2025)] [House] [Page H2062] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] NATIONAL POLICE WEEK (Mr. Ciscomani of Arizona was recognized to address the House for 5 minutes.) Mr. CISCOMANI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today during National Police Week to honor the men and women in law enforcement for their invaluable service to our Nation. I especially thank all of the police officers in my district who work tirelessly to ensure that southeastern Arizona is safe, secure, and the best place to live and to carry out our own American Dream. During times of crisis, when others run away, our brave police officers run toward danger, putting themselves at risk to protect life and property. Their courage, selflessness, and dedication deserve our deepest respect, not just this week, but every single day. Let us also remember, honor, and mourn the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their legacy lives on in the lives they protected, the officers they mentored, and the communities they kept safe. Mr. Speaker, I thank every single office across this great Nation for their service. We are a stronger, safer, and more prosperous Nation because of them. Recognition of Shanequa Matthias Mr. CISCOMANI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today full of pride to congratulate Cochise County Teacher of the Year and Carmichael Elementary School's fifth grade teacher Shanequa Matthias. Mr. Speaker, I thank her for her tireless efforts on behalf of our students. I firmly believe that education is the pillar of the American Dream, and it is our teachers who care for our students, pass on the knowledge and skills that they need to succeed, and inspire them to dream big and embrace all of the opportunities our great Nation has to offer. As a teacher, she embraced a nontraditional, engaging classroom style, where learning is less about memorization and more about creativity, play, and hands-on experience. Her dedication, compassion, and unwavering belief in the potential of every single one of her students is deeply inspiring and has left a permanent mark on all who learn from her. Her work is directly contributing to a bigger, better, and brighter future for Cochise County. Mr. Speaker, I thank her for always uplifting her students. May she enjoy this well-deserved recognition. Once again, congratulations to Shanequa Matthias. Congratulating Canyon del Oro High School Mr. CISCOMANI.
