                            HON. JIM GERLACH

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 27, 2012

  Mr. GERLACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate John R. Bailey 
of Chester County, Pennsylvania on his retirement after 34 years of law 
enforcement service with the Tredyffrin Township Police Department.
   Detective Sergeant Bailey began his law enforcement career with 
Tredyffrin Township on December 5, 1977. In 1986, he joined the 
Detective Division and became Detective Supervisor in 1994, eventually 
being promoted to Detective Sergeant in 2002.
   In June 2002, Detective Sergeant Bailey founded the Tri-County 
Regional Investigators group, a network of law enforcement agencies who 
work together by sharing information about criminal activity resulting 
in the successful resolution of crimes that would otherwise remain 
unsolved. A graduate of the FBI National Academy Session #223, he has 
served as an Adjunct Professor at Wilmington University, Delaware 
County Community College and Immaculata University.
   Recently elected to the position of Magisterial District Judge after 
being certified by the Pennsylvania Minor Judiciary Board, Detective 
Sergeant Bailey holds a Masters Degree in Administrative Science from 
Farleigh Dickinson University.
   Mr. Speaker, in light of his years of exemplary service to his 
community and litany of sterling accomplishments too long to record, I 
ask that my colleagues join me today in recognizing Detective Sergeant 
John R. Bailey for his invaluable contributions to the quality of life 
of the citizens of Tredyffrin Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania 
and our entire nation.
