                      Tuesday, September 29, 2020

  Mr. GREEN of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
service of Assistant Chief Deputy Douglass Tackett.
  Mr. Tackett began his career in law enforcement as part of the Army 
Military Police Corps. Upon leaving the Army, he transitioned to 
working in civilian law enforcement with the Montgomery County 
Sheriff's Department. On account of his persistent work ethic, he 
quickly rose through the ranks, serving as Jail Administrator, 
Lieutenant, Captain, and finally as Assistant Chief Deputy.
  Charged with the supervision of the hundreds of inmates housed in the 
Montgomery County Jail on a daily basis, Assistant Chief Deputy Tackett 
sought to maintain order and discipline while trying to aid inmates who 
wanted to change their ways. His constant fidelity and excellence 
throughout his career stands as an example to be followed by all those 
who are charged with upholding law and order.
  Assistant Chief Deputy Tackett's four decades of service to the 
Montgomery County Sheriff's office have been invaluable and he has made 
an impact in his community for years to come. His service exemplifies 
the virtues of steadfastness and dedication. It is fitting that we 
honor him as he concludes a long and faithful career in service to the 
people of Montgomery County. On behalf of the United States Congress, I 
wish to commend Assistant Chief Deputy Tackett for his service, and I 
congratulate him on the occasion of his retirement from the Montgomery 
County Sheriff's office.
