             IN RECOGNITION OF CHIEF OF POLICE RUSS KERBOW

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of TEXAS

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 24, 2018

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the exemplary 
work of Chief of Police Russ Kerbow of the Lewisville Police 
Department.
  Chief Kerbow recently retired from the Lewisville Police Department 
after spending more than 40 years serving his hometown. He began his 
career in 1977 as a Reserve Officer before rising through the ranks in 
various areas of the department. Nearly thirty years later, in May 
2007, he was appointed Chief of Police.
  As a North Texas leader in law enforcement, Chief Kerbow is well 
respected by his colleagues and the residents of Lewisville, Texas.
  Before joining the Lewisville Police Department, Chief Kerbow 
graduated from the University of North Texas with a bachelor's degree 
in Business Administration. He attended the School of Police 
Supervision at the Southwestern Law Enforcement Institute, the Command 
Management School, and the 197th Session of the National FBI Academy in 
Quantico, Virginia. Chief Kerbow holds a Master Peace Officers License 
and is the regional director for Region 8 of the Texas Police Chiefs 
Association.
  Outside of his law enforcement career, Chief Kerbow actively serves 
or has served on a number of North Texas non-profit organizations' 
boards such as CASA of Denton County, the Heroes of Denton County, 
Lewisville ISD Education Foundation, and Lewisville Rotary.
  Chief Kerbow has devoted more than four decades to protecting and 
serving his neighbors, putting strangers' safety above his own. He has 
made significant contributions to the Lewisville Police Department and 
our North Texas community. I am deeply grateful for Chief Kerbow's 
service to the City of Lewisville, and wish him the best in his 
retirement.
