                      TRIBUTE TO STANLEY DROSKOSKI

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL P. FORBES

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 16, 1996

  Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to pay 
tribute to one of Long Island's great police chiefs. After 32 years of 
service to the Southold Police Department, Police Chief Stanley 
Droskoski retired in May. At the age of 63, Chief Droskoski has spent 
the last three decades serving his neighbors and his town with 
unwavering dedication and pride.
  A graduate of Greenport High School, Chief Droskoski grew up on his 
family's farm in Orient. In 1964, he took the police examination and 
became a patrolman on the town force. Mr. Droskoski rose through the 
ranks from patrolman, to detective, to sergeant, and then lieutenant 
before taking over the department's top office in 1991.
  I would like to extend my most heartfelt thanks and appreciation to 
Chief Droskoski for his dedication to public safety.
