                       TRIBUTE TO DENNIS McDANIEL

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 19, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Dennis McDaniel who has been named Chief of Police of 
Johnston, Iowa. Chief McDaniel has proudly served the central Iowa area 
as Chief of Police in nearby Windsor Heights, Iowa, and in 
Marshalltown, Iowa at the start of his career.
  His dedication to public service and law enforcement is a testament 
to many aspiring community leaders. He has been integrally involved 
with the Central Iowa Traffic Safety Task Force and served as Chairman 
of the Polk County Law Enforcement Executives Association. His 
commitment to neighborhood outreach programs have earned him applause 
from his peers. Those programs include Neighborhood Watch, National 
Night Out and Special Olympics Iowa.
  In announcing his move across the Des Moines metropolitan area from 
one jurisdiction to another, the Johnston, Iowa mayor said, ``One thing 
Chief McDaniel did say about community policing is that your community 
can be the first line of defense against things happening to you. It 
takes an entire community to be safe.''
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate Chief McDaniel for this award 
and for sharing his leadership with an entire community. I am proud to 
represent him in the United States Congress. I ask that my colleagues 
in the United States House of Representatives join me in congratulating 
Chief McDaniel and wishing him nothing but continued success.
