                          CHIEF PATRICK PRIORE

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. MICHAEL G. FITZPATRICK

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 11, 2013

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of a career 
of service to the community of Tullytown Borough by Police Chief 
Patrick Priore.
  Chief Priore retired from the force at the end of August after 
serving more than 15 years as chief and nearly 24 years with the 
department overall.
  The Chief's commitment to the people of Lower Bucks County was well 
known and widely respected. His dedication to protecting the people of 
his region continued even after he was seriously injured in the line of 
duty in May of 2009--an injury that forced him into an early 
retirement.
  Mr. Speaker, I have known Chief Priore for many years. A law 
enforcement professional of the highest integrity, Pat has been a good 
friend and confidant to me and an abiding influence on his officers and 
community. Most of all, he is a great father and husband. These traits 
are being passed through Pat's family and in to the community that has 
been privileged to have been blessed with his leadership, courage and 
faithful commitment to service.
  While Chief Priore may no longer be the head of the Tullytown Borough 
Police Department, we still recognize and honor his service and 
sacrifice today and wish him the best during his retirement.
  Chief: I salute you. I thank you. And the people of Tullytown thank 
you.
