            TEXAS 24 HOMETOWN HERO OF THE WEEK, JEFF SPIVEY

  (Ms. VAN DUYNE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor our Texas 24 
Hometown Hero of the Week, my hometown hero, Irving Chief of Police, 
Jeff Spivey.
  Chief Spivey will be retiring this year after selflessly serving our 
community for 35 years working to strengthen community relations and 
serving in roles from patrol to criminal investigation. Irving is a 
better, safer city because of his dedication. He pioneered peer support 
services, formed a mental health response unit, and led a departmental 
reorganization.
  Madam Speaker, I thank Chief Spivey for his service and the lasting 
impact he has made on our community.
