                                 ______


                            HON. DAVID MANN

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 2, 1994

  Mr. MANN. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to congratulate Col. Paul 
M. Huffman, the chief of police in Springfield Township, on the 
occasion of his retirement, March 18, 1994.
  Colonel Huffman began his law enforcement career with the Springfield 
Township Police Department on October 1, 1967. His steady advancement 
on the force culminated with promotion to chief on October 13, 1987.
  During his years of service to the citizens of Springfield Township, 
Colonel Huffman was instrumental in initiating the D.A.R.E. program at 
schools in the Township, as part of the schools' efforts to steer young 
people away from drugs and toward positive activity. Colonel Huffman 
also introduced the Neighborhood Block Watch Program to the Township, 
whose participants have proven to be helpful allies to the police. 
Colonel Huffman also organized the first vice, traffic safety, and 
canine units in the department.
  When not busy fulfilling his duty as chief of police, Colonel Huffman 
has been an active member of the Greenhills-Forest Park Kiwanis, having 
served one term as president.
  I extend my heartiest congratulations to Col. Paul Huffman upon his 
retirement and express my thanks for a job well done.
