 Ms. AYOTTE. Mr. President, today I recognize and congratulate 
Chief of Police David C. Bailey of the Bedford, NH, police department

  Chief Bailey began his law enforcement career in 1971 as a patrol 
officer with the town of Bedford; was promoted to lieutenant in 1976; 
deputy chief in 1981; and as the chief of police in 1989. A native of 
Bedford, NH, Chief Bailey earned his bachelor's degree from the 
University of New Hampshire in 1969.
  During his long tenure as a police chief, David Bailey has been a 
leader in promoting community oriented-policing; in improving public 
safety within the State of New Hampshire; and in promoting sound public 
policies and practices, which have helped keep New Hampshire one of the 
safest States in the Nation. From 2002 to 2003, he served with 
distinction as the president of the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs 
of Police. Chief Bailey has worked tirelessly with New Hampshire 
legislators, and other public safety officials, to better the
