Ms. WEXTON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the admirable work done by Leesburg Chief of Police, Gregory C. Brown.

On December 1, 2022, Chief Brown is set to officially retire and conclude a 26-year career of law enforcement service to the Leesburg and Loudoun communities.

Throughout his tenure, he has successfully implemented innovative leadership and management techniques. Additionally, he has expanded the department to include 90 sworn officers and 18 civilians. As described by his fellow colleagues, Chief Brown has ``consistently utilized Community Policing philosophies and strongly believes that the needs of the community should be at the heart of everything we do''.

Chief Brown is known for his commitment to building trusting and meaningful partnerships within the community. To do so, he has overseen numerous projects for technological advancements within the department, all with the intent of aiding the general public.

It is evident that Chief Brown embraces the concept of ``Servant Leadership''. He began his long-tenured law enforcement career with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department in 1996. Later, he joined the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office. Here, he served for nearly 20 years, achieving the rank of Captain before being appointed Leesburg Chief of Police. Upon his official retirement, Chief Brown will remain in the area to serve the community in a new role. He will be resuming the title of the Executive Director of the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy (NVCJTA), where he will oversee the training of members of the Town of Leesburg Police Department and 16 other regional law enforcement agencies.

I want to formally recognize the contributions that Chief of Police Gregory C. Brown has made to our community and the nation. He is the embodiment of integrity and dedication, consistently striving to improve the well-being of citizens throughout the 10th district of Virginia and our Nation.
