  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, congratulations to Captain Thomas M. 
Roche on the occasion of his retirement from the Lower Makefield 
Township Police Department. Throughout his 42-year career in the 
township, Capt. Roche distinguished himself with his contributions, 
service and responsibilities, including oversight of the police 
department's internal affairs investigations, traffic safety unit, 
events and planning and as deputy emergency management coordinator. 
Furthermore, his supervisors recognized the key role he played in the 
Lower Makefield department's award and designation in the Pennsylvania 
Accreditation program. Prior to joining the department, Capt. Roche was 
a proud member of the United States Army in Chu Lai, Republic of 
Vietnam and also as a member of the military police, stationed at 
several Army bases in the U.S. He is a decorated veteran and a 
dedicated member of the law enforcement community, Capt. Roche has set 
a fine example of public service for others to follow and begins his 
retirement with the appreciation of the citizens he willingly served.
