Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Forest County Sheriff Bob Wolfgang on his retirement.

Sheriff Wolfgang was first elected sheriff in 2001 and proceeded to spend two decades as the Forest County sheriff. In his work as sheriff, Bob aimed to engage the community and help people turn their lives around.

During his five terms, Sheriff Wolfgang and his office worked to overhaul conceal carry permits, improve security, and start several programs aimed to engage the county's youth.

From participating in ``Shop with a Cop'' to a Forest County Youth Field Day, Sheriff Wolfgang focused on working with children to improve relationships with police and the community. He also spent time raising awareness for scams targeting senior citizens.

Sheriff Wolfgang always focused on helping the community and being a positive role model for other officers and Forest County residents. His impact on all of our community cannot be overstated.

Mr. Speaker, I thank Sheriff Wolfgang for his dedication and service to Forest County and the region. May he enjoy his retirement. He deserves it.
