in the house of representatives
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record a proclamation to honor Larry Juriga, chief of police in North Miami, Florida, as he enters retirement with over nearly four decades of service to the citizens of the city and county:
Whereas, Larry Juriga is deeply rooted in the North Miami
Community, born in the city and raised in South Florida; and
Whereas, Chief Larry Juriga during his stellar law
enforcement career, has made major philanthropic
contributions to young men and to the 5000 Role Models of
Excellence Project. Role Model Chief Juriga is passionate
about helping and mentoring youth. He is an advocate for
second chances within our juvenile community; and
Whereas, Chief Juriga began his career with the City of
North Miami in 1987, in the Parks and Recreation Department.
However, being inspired by his father, a 30-year veteran of
the North Miami Police Department, Larry attended the police
academy in 1993 and joined the police department in 1994; and
Whereas, Chief Juriga is committed to serving the
community. He worked as a patrol officer before being
transferred to the General Investigations Unit in 1997. He
oversaw major criminal investigations before joining North
Miami S.W.A.T. team a year later. His promotion to rank of
sergeant, appointment to major, then rank of Assistant Chief
of Police followed in rapid succession; and
Whereas, Larry Juriga's appointment to Interim Chief of
Police in May 2017 was followed, less than a year later, by
the pinnacle of Juriga's law enforcement career, the
appointment to Chief of Police. During his tenure as Chief,
the North Miami Police Department earned its accredited
status from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement
Accreditation after an extensive review of the Department's
enhanced policies and procedures that reflect law
enforcement's highest standards; and
Whereas, Chief Juriga earned a Bachelor of Science Degree
from Barry University, competed as a scholar-athlete in
basketball. He also earned a Master of Public Administration
Degree from Florida International University, and graduated
from the prestigious FBI National Academy, 236th Session; 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,
congratulate Chief Larry Juriga as he starts his retirement
and celebrates nearly four decades of service and peacekeeper
to the citizens of North Miami, Florida and Miami-Dade
County.
