HONORING THE RETIREMENT OF SERGEANT JON MEADOR
______
HON. BETH VAN DUYNE
of texas
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, February 2, 2021
Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank Sergeant Jon Meador for his service with the Grapevine Police Department and to congratulate him on his retirement. His 30 years of law enforcement service is incredibly deserving of recognition, and, on behalf of the North Texans he has dedicated his career to serving and protecting, I am proud to extend my sincere appreciation for his selfless service before the House of Representatives.
I was impressed to hear of Sergeant Meador's background prior to joining law enforcement, specifically his experience in the banking industry that he utilized to investigate financial crimes in conjunction with the FBI, ICE, and the Secret Service. The courage and dedication he has displayed during his many years of service in law enforcement is admirable and the law enforcement community is better for having the benefit of his service and knowledge.
In these unprecedented times, I know it is a source of comfort for North Texans to have law enforcement officers like Sergeant Meador working tirelessly to serve and protect us. It has always been my view that public service is among the most admirable of callings, one that demands the very best among us tackle monumental challenges in the name of selfless service to others. Sergeant Meador's incredible service to the public will be remembered by many in Grapevine and I join them in congratulating him on not only heeding the call to serve, but for doing so with the devotion and passion he has exhibited for the past three decades.
It is my honor to congratulate Sergeant Meador on his successful career and retirement.
