  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
Retirement of Police Chief Barry Barnard of Prince William County after 
44 Years of Public Service. Barry Barnard was selected as police chief 
in 2016, and has served in the Prince William County Police Department 
since 1976.
  Police Chief Barry Barnard joined the Prince William County Police 
Department as an officer in patrol. Barnard served as an officer in 
patrol until 2000, when he was named an assistant chief of police. In 
2009, Barnard was appointed as the deputy chief of police in 2009, and 
held the position of acting chief of police in 2012, before becoming 
Chief of Police in 2016.
  Police Chief Barry Barnard's long history with the Prince William 
County Police Department shows his dedication and loyalty to his 
community. Throughout his time as police chief, Barnard was committed 
to providing efficient and interactive police service to the residents 
of Prince William County. He served as the final authority in all 
matters of policy operations and discipline.
  Barnard committed to the principles of integrity and trust during his 
time with the Prince William County Police Department, and he believes 
that honesty and equality in delivery of police services is essential. 
Barnard is a strong example of what public service should look like, 
and he is leaving a strong and positive legacy on the Prince William 
County Police Department.
  Therefore, Madam Speaker, I ask that you rise with me in recognizing 
Prince William County Police Chief Barry Barnard's public service and 
dedication to his community in the First District of Virginia.
