    HONORING THE RECIPIENTS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER COMMENDATIONS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN H. ADLER

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 12, 2010

  Mr. ADLER of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate several New Jersey law enforcement officers who are to be 
commended for performing above and beyond the call of duty. Our law 
enforcement officers are held to the highest standards, and it is a 
great honor to recognize them for their outstanding efforts. These 
officers will be recognized at the Burlington County Prosecutor's 
Office 22nd Annual PROCOPS Award Banquet. PROCOPS, or Prosecutor's 
Recognition of Citizens or Public Servants, recognizes members of law 
enforcement and civilians whose significant actions, bravery and 
concern for the well being of society have made Burlington County, NJ a 
safer place to live.
  I would like to commend the following officers: Detective Richard 
Naff of the Moorestown Twp. Police Department for his outstanding 
investigative work that led to the dismantling of a residential 
burglary ring; Officers Duane Grazioli & Dean Potts of the Burlington 
County Sheriff's Office for crawling under a burning tractor trailer 
and pulling the driver to safety; Ptl. Nicholas Czepiel of the Florence 
Township Police Department for administering medical assistance to a 
fellow officer following a serious collision; Det. Robert Bennett of 
the Maple Shade Police Department for his sustained involvement in the 
life of a troubled juvenile who came to him for help; Patrolmen Brandon 
Conard and Paul Barnes of the Riverside Police Department for their 
tenacious search that led to the discovery of an injured and 
disoriented citizen; Detectives Linda Chieffalo, Irene Angelaccio, 
Patrolman Thomas Polite of the Westampton Police Department for skilled 
police work that led to the identification and arrest of an armed gas 
station robber; and Patrolmen Shaun Welthy & Ryan Bieri also of the 
Westampton Police Department for administering life-saving CPR.
  Madam Speaker, I hope you will join me in extending congratulations 
and thanks to these exemplary law-enforcement officers.
