          HONORING THE SERVICE OF DETECTIVE WALTER C. MEY, JR.

  (Mr. CICCILINE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CICCILINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize 
Detective Walter C. Mey, Jr., who works for the Middletown Police 
Department in the First Congressional District of Rhode Island.
  Detective Mey recently received an honorable mention from the 
National Association of Police Organizations, which praised his work as 
part of their Top Cops award of 2012. Detective Mey was recognized for 
his efforts in apprehending a murder suspect last year.
  The Top Cops award recognizes law enforcement officers who have been 
nominated by their peers for going above and beyond the call of duty. 
An 18-year veteran of the Middletown Police Department, Detective Mey 
has been awarded a Meritorious Service Medal from the Department. I 
congratulate Detective Mey today on his impressive achievements, and 
thank him for his continuing service on behalf of our community.
  This week, as our Nation observes National Police Week, we are 
mindful that Detective Mey and every retired and every active duty 
Rhode Island police officer deserves our tremendous gratitude for their 
commitment to ensuring our safety.

gallery that they are guests of the House and that any manifestation of
