Recognizing Chief Rod Ellis

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the retirement of Police Chief Rod Ellis, a man deeply committed to public safety and national security. He has proudly served Georgia's First District and his country in vital security roles.

During his 36 years of service, Chief Ellis served with the Glynn County Police, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division, Homeland Security, and several other law enforcement entities.

In 2013, Chief Ellis was chosen to travel to Israel to network and train with Israeli Police and Security Services to identify and stop terrorists. The knowledge he learned in Israel and security publications he has contributed to about counterterrorism have significantly reinforced not just Georgia's security but the United States as a whole.

I praise Chief Ellis for his service to the First District and to the American people, and I hope he enjoys this well-earned retirement.
