RECOGNIZING POLICE CHIEF MATT BURNS
______
HON. DUSTY JOHNSON
of south dakota
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, July 13, 2021
Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor Police Chief Matt Burns for his 25 years of service with the Sioux Falls Police Department.
Chief Burns’ career with the Sioux Falls Police Department began in 1996 as a patrol officer. He later went on to serve as a SWAT team member, detective, lieutenant, and assistant chief. In 2015, Burns became chief of police.
During his honorable career, Burns has spearheaded several key initiatives including promoting, designing, and funding the New Public Safety Training Center and leading the effort to host remote Basic Certification Academy classes.
Despite the many challenges the city of Sioux Falls has faced in recent years, I am grateful for Burns’ leadership in keeping the community of Sioux Falls safe.
I commend Chief Burns for his outstanding record of service, hard work, and leadership. I extend my deepest congratulations to him on his well-earned retirement.
