Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the great state of Florida, I rise today to recognize Miami-Dade Police Sergeant Thomas Philip Hixon who is retiring after 25 years of outstanding service to our community and to young men, as a mentor with the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project.

respected law enforcement officer, rose from the ranks of
police officer to investigator and to supervisor over his 25-
year career;

that led to the successful prosecution of scores of
defendants;
Whereas, Sergeant Hixon has received more than 80 letters
of commendation, was the recipient of the 2004 United States
Attorney's Office Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award,

Whereas, Sergeant Hixon has worked to make Miami-Dade
County safer for residents and visitors, and has helped to
improve the lives of the less fortunate;
Whereas, Sergeant Hixon is a dedicated mentor with the 5000

odds for at-risk young; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson,
a Member of the United States House of Representatives,
representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida,
commend retiring Miami-Dade County Police Sergeant Thomas
