                         Monday, March 4, 2019

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Steven 
Roegge on being named East Peoria's next police chief. His 31 years of 
service at the Peoria Police Department have not gone unnoticed.
  Mr. Roegge began his career in law enforcement after receiving a 
criminal justice degree from Illinois State University and earning a 
certificate in supervision of police personnel from Northwestern 
University. He then went on and served as a lieutenant with the Peoria 
Police Department for the past 11 years, where he worked as a vice and 
narcotics investigator. Additionally, he worked closely with the K9 
Unit by serving as a K9 sergeant and training other officers and their 
K9s, while also developing active shooter trainings for the department. 
Mr. Roegge has also represented the Peoria Police Department with the 
Illinois Law Enforcement Alarms System to further his leadership within 
the department. I would like to express my gratitude for the work he 
has done to protect our community and I look forward to seeing what he 
will accomplish in his new role.
  As the wife of a sheriff, I know how important it is to share our 
gratitude for those who put their lives on the line for our 
communities. Dedicated leaders like Mr. Steven Roegge make me 
especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam 
Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Mr. Steven Roegge 
on his well-earned promotion to East Peoria Police Chief, and thank him 
for all of his service to the community.
