              DEPARTMENT IN DELAWARE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PATRICK MEEHAN

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 15, 2017

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Chief Joseph Daly of the 
Springfield Township Police Department in Delaware County, PA. Chief 
Daly has honorably served his country and the public his entire adult 
life. He is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, served two 
tours of duty in Vietnam, and then began a forty-plus year law 
enforcement career. In 2009, Chief Daly became Springfield Township's 
Chief of Police following his stint as Chief of Police for Lower Merion 
Township.
  The Delaware County Chamber of Commerce has rightly honored Chief 
Daly with their Hometown Hero award. He works tirelessly to ensure the 
safety of Delaware County residents and has earned the respect of his 
colleagues and the public they serve. Under his leadership the 
Springfield Police Department received accreditation by the 
Pennsylvania Chiefs' of Police Association, a first for a Delaware 
County police department.
  I commend Chief Daly for his passion and dedication to law 
enforcement in our community and I join the Delaware County Chamber of 
Commerce in calling him a Hometown Hero.
