TRIBUTE TO ROBERT M. GREELEY
Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise to recognize the important work of
Mr. Robert M. Greeley, who is retiring on November 15, 2013, after a
long and distinguished career with the United States Capitol Police.
Mr. Greeley joined the Capitol Police in June, 1996, as director of
the Security Services Bureau, the most senior civilian security
position in the department. Mr. Greeley's team is responsible for the
development, operation, and maintenance of the physical and technical
security systems needed to counter the threat of terrorism. In this
capacity, Mr. Greeley led the management of the multimillion dollar
enhancements to the Capitol Complex following the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001. His expertise in the development and implementation
of these security projects and systems was critical to the long- and
short-term protection of the personnel and facilities of the
legislative branch.
Prior to joining the Capitol Police, Mr. Greeley spent 14 years as a
security engineering officer with the U.S. Department of State's Office
of Diplomatic Security and Foreign Missions. In that capacity, Mr.
Greeley served overseas with regional responsibilities in Athens,
Mexico City, and Prague.
Mr. Greeley proudly served in the United States Air Force as a
navigational aids equipment specialist from 1978-1982.
As a former Capitol Police Officer, I appreciate the hard work and
dedication of our nation's law enforcement officers, and I still feel a
special bond with those who honor the badge by protecting and serving
our communities. I, along with my colleagues in the Senate,
congratulate Mr. Greeley on his well-earned retirement and wish him
well in his future endeavors.
