Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize Sergeant Rodney Jenkins, a dedicated public servant who devoted over two decades to law enforcement in Montgomery County, Indiana. At 19, Rodney became one of the first full-time male dispatchers at the Montgomery County Communications Center, and his career only flourished from there. In 1998, Rodney Jenkins was hired as a jail officer and reserve deputy with Montgomery County Sheriff's office. In 2000, he was hired as a road deputy, and 9 years later, he was promoted to sergeant. His leadership, coupled with his dedication to both administrative and field duties, showcases his true passion for law enforcement and community service. We are grateful for Sergeant Jenkins' exceptional service to our community, and I am proud to congratulate him on his well-deserved retirement. Retirement of Dr. Karen Plaut
