[Congressional Record Volume 164, Number 142 (Friday, August 24, 2018)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1174] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] 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. ____________________
