“I rise today to honor U.S. Forest Service Officer Jason Crisp. On March 12, 2014, Officer Crisp and his K-9 partner Maros lost their lives during a manhunt for an individual suspected of murdering his parents earlier that day. Officer Crisp lived in Marion, NC, located in the western part of the State. After graduating from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in 2005, he became an officer for the Forest Service. He had previously served as a deputy sheriff in the McDowell County Sheriff's Office. Officef Crisp's tragic death is a reminder of the countless men and women in law enforcement that put their safety at risk to protect our communities every day. In honor of Officer Crisp's bravery, and his service to North Carolina and to the Forest Service, I am pleased the Senate will approve H.R. 4360, a bill to designate a Ranger Station within the Grandfather Ranger District in North Carolina, the ``Jason Crisp Forest Service Building.'' The new Jason Crisp Building will serve as a lasting tribute to the ultimate sacrifice Officer Crisp made in service to our country. Officer Crisp leaves behind his wife, Amanda, his two sons Garret and Logan, as well as his parents, a sister, and two brothers. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.”
