             IN RECOGNITION OF OUR NATION'S LAW ENFORCEMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM R. KEATING

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 15, 2020

  Mr. KEATING. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of our 
nation's law enforcement.
  This year, May 10th marks the start of national police week. This is 
a time to honor the men and women that serve in local, state and 
federal law enforcement across our country. National Police Week is an 
occasion to celebrate the heroes among us and also to reflect on those 
that have paid the ultimate sacrifice and fallen in the line of duty.
  I wish to pay a special tribute to the fallen officers whose names 
will be added to the National Law Enforcement Memorial this year from 
my home state of Massachusetts. Thomas F. Dylan, James B. DeShazo, and 
Harold J. Collins have made their final commitment to their community 
and will be justly honored at the National Law Enforcement Memorial in 
our nation's capital.
  Typically, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers head to 
Washington, D.C. to partake in the events of National Police Week. This 
year, however, the service of these brave men and women has been made 
more evident than ever. Instead of celebrating with their families and 
friends, they continue to serve on the front lines during the Covid-19 
pandemic.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor the incredible service of our 
nation's law enforcement. I ask that my colleagues join me in 
recognizing their sacrifice and service to our country.
