                           HON. ANN M. KUSTER

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 30, 2019

  Ms. KUSTER of New Hampshire. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Andrew Lavoie, Chief of the Nashua Police Department, for his service 
and leadership to the Department for 32 years, the last four and a half 
years as Chief.
  Over the span of Chief Lavoie's career, he has taken on numerous 
roles within the Nashua Police Department, whether it was attacking the 
opioid crisis from the law enforcement perspective by making many 
arrests or standing with his community to protect and serve. Chief 
Lavoie has been a leading and respected voice in the Granite State 
advocating for the Safe Station Program and forming the Nashua 
Community Conversations on Race and Justice, which have enhanced 
relationships between police and Nashua's diverse population amongst 
other accomplishments. I commend Chief Lavoie on his retirement after 
three decades of work in public service.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's Second Congressional 
District, congratulations to Chief Andrew Lavoie for a well-deserved 
retirement. I thank him for his service and wish him the very best in 
the years to come.
