                        CONGRATULATING BARTLETT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PETER J. ROSKAM

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 24, 2017

  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Bartlett on 
being named one of the safest cities in the United States. The village 
of Bartlett was named the ninth safest city on Neighborhood Scout's 
list of America's 100 Safest Cities.
  Working together, law enforcement, local officials, and the community 
have made Bartlett a safer place to live, work, and raise a family. The 
residents of Bartlett should never underestimate the impact that each 
citizen's positive actions can have. Everyday 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 
Bartlett Police and Fire Departments. Day in and day out the men and 
women of the Bartlett 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 happy to see their service 
has led to Bartlett being named one of the safest cities in America.
  Mr. Speaker and distinguished colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing the village of Bartlett, Illinois and congratulating them 
on being named one of the safest cities in America
