  POSTHUMOUSLY HONORING DETECTIVE SEAN SUITER OF PENNSYLVANIA ON HIS 
     SERVICE TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND HIS CAREER IN LAW

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. SCOTT PERRY

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 5, 2017

  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, today I extend my sincere condolences to the 
family, peers and loved ones of my constituent, Detective Sean Suiter 
of the Baltimore City Police Department, who was killed in the Line of 
Duty on November 16, 2017. We are grateful for his many, dedicated 
years of service as a law enforcement officer and grieve his passing.
  I've long appreciated the commitment of people who devote themselves 
selflessly to serving our Nation and communities. Detective Suiter 
served in the United States Army from 1992 to 1998, after which he 
began his 18-year service with the Baltimore City Police--where he 
ultimately earned promotion to the rank of Detective.
  Detective Suiter's peers describe a conscientious and dedicated 
officer who ``operated beyond his years.'' One colleague recalled a 
recent incident when a man who Suiter criminally pursued in the past, 
approached Suiter to say that he was now employed, and thanked Suiter 
for always treating him with respect. Detective Suiter's neighbors in 
Conewago Township, York County, recall, ``. . . a nice man who always 
stopped in to say hello.''
  Detective Suiter's tireless dedication, professionalism and sacrifice 
touched the lives of countless people. His legacy of service to our 
Nation and communities will endure, and his loss will be felt in 
significant and myriad ways.
  On behalf of Pennsylvania's Fourth Congressional District, I offer my 
heartfelt condolences to Detective Suiter's family, friends and 
colleagues on this tragic loss. I thank him and Godspeed, brother. He 
will remain in my heart and prayers.
