                        CONGRATULATING PALATINE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PETER J. ROSKAM

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 1, 2017

  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Palatine on 
being named one of the safest cities in the United States. The Village 
of Palatine was named the fifty-first safest city on Neighborhood 
Scout's list of America's 100 Safest Cities.
   Working together, law enforcement, local officials, and the 
community have made Palatine a safer place to live, work, and raise a 
family. The residents of Palatine should never underestimate the impact 
that each citizen's positive actions can have. Every day there are 
members of the community helping to change lives, while also inspiring 
their peers to do the same.
   I would be remiss to not also mention the wonderful job of the 
Palatine Police and Fire Departments. Day in and day out the men and 
women of the Palatine Police and Fire Departments risk their lives to 
protect their community. Their bravery and courage are very deserving 
of our recognition and admiration and I am pleased to see their service 
has led to Palatine being named one of the safest cities in America.
   Mr. Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing the Village of Palatine, Illinois and congratulating them 
on being named one of the safest cities in America.
