                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

        RECOGNIZING THE POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION OF MICHIGAN

 Mr. PETERS. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize the 
outstanding work of the Police Officers Association of Michigan, the 
largest organization of law enforcement officers in the State of 
Michigan, representing over 14,000 frontline crime fighters, law 
enforcement officers, and first responders throughout the State. POAM 
officers are in every jurisdiction in Michigan--every precinct, ward, 
city, township, county, and congressional district--and are truly a 
strong voice for the Michigan law enforcement community.
  POAM recently met for its annual conference in Grand Rapids, MI. 
During that conference, POAM recognized outstanding police officers for 
exceptional law enforcement work. This year's POAM conference 
highlighted some of the countless acts of bravery and community-
strengthening that the thousands of law enforcement officers throughout 
Michigan perform on a daily basis. I applaud POAM's commitment to the 
communities that they serve.
  I join POAM and all of my fellow Michiganders in recognizing these 
incredible public servants and all of the brave men and women of 
Michigan's law enforcement community who are responsible for keeping 
our streets safe.
