                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DANIEL LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 22, 2018

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Officer Finbarr 
Haran of the Oak Lawn Police Department for being named the village's 
Top Cop of 2018. The Oak Lawn Lion's Club bestows this award on a 
distinguished member of the force after being nominated by his or her 
peers and selected by a committee of police department leaders.
   Officer Haran serves the Oak Lawn community as one of the city's K-9 
Officers alongside his partner Edo, a Belgian Malinois from the Czech 
Republic. Together, they have worked extensively with the Drug 
Enforcement Agency and have brought numerous criminals to justice. Over 
the years, the expansion of Oak Lawn's law enforcement agency has 
brought in the phenomenal men and women who now serve as the city's 
first responders. Officer Haran is shining example of the Oak Lawn 
Police Department and the officers that serve the Village of Oak Lawn.
   I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Oak Lawn Police Officer 
Finbarr Haran. I congratulate him on his accomplishments and thank him 
for his service.
