                      Thursday, December 22, 2022

  Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, today I honor the career and 
accomplishments of one of my constituents.
  Yasha Nikitin has dutifully served the City of Huntington Beach and 
its police force for over 20 years. In his time with HBPD, he has 
protected our community as a police explorer, a student worker, a 
police cadet, an officer, and a sergeant. He has also served his fellow 
officers as a board member and president of the Huntington Beach Police 
Officer Association.
  On January 10th, after all of his years of service protecting our 
friends and neighbors, Yasha will be promoted to Police Lieutenant. Our 
police are vital to the safety and success of our communities, and we 
are incredibly fortunate to have as fine a person as Yasha serving on 
the Huntington Beach Police force.

  I want to congratulate him on this well-deserved accomplishment and 
express my personal gratitude for his tireless commitment to the people 
of Huntington Beach and Southern California. I wish him and his family 
all the best as they begin this new undertaking.
