               RECOGNIZING THE CAREER OF GREGORY C. BROWN

                                 ______

                       Thursday, December 1, 2022

  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.
