                   TRIBUTE TO CHIEF DONALD F. CONLEY

 Ms. AYOTTE. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize and 
congratulate chief of police Donald F. Conley of the Nashua, NH, Police 
Department for his 32 years of dedicated service to the law enforcement 
profession, the City of Nashua, and the State of New Hampshire.
  After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, Chief Conley began his law 
enforcement career with the U.S. Capitol Police and then joined the 
Nashua Police Department in 1980. He was promoted to sergeant in 1988, 
lieutenant in 1995, captain in 1998, and deputy chief of police in 
2002. He was named the chief of police in 2007.
  During his long tenure as a police chief, Donald Conley has been a 
leader in promoting community-oriented policing, improving public 
safety within the State of New Hampshire, and promoting sound public 
policies and practices that have helped keep New Hampshire one of the 
safest States in the Nation. Chief Conley has worked tirelessly with 
his peers and with other public safety officials to better the 
administration of justice.
  As Donald Conley celebrates his retirement, I want to commend him on 
a job well done and ask my colleagues to join me in wishing him and his 
wife Tricia well in all future endeavors.
