              HONORING KYLE REOGAS OF HALEYVILLE, ALABAMA

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. ROBERT B. ADERHOLT

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 22, 2021

  Mr. ADERHOLT. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to offer a 
congratulations to the retiring police chief of the city of Haleyville, 
Alabama, Kyle Reogas.
  The city of Haleyville is where I was born, grew up and is my current 
residence and Chief Reogas has served our community as chief for 29 
years. In fact, Chief Reogas has been with the Haleyville Police 
Department for a total of 34 years.

  On Monday, May 4, 1992, then Haleyville Mayor W.G. Campbell and the 
city council, appointed Reogas as the chief of police.
  On that night of his appointment, Reogas said ``I appreciate this 
opportunity to serve Haleyville as its police chief, and I will do the 
job to the best of my ability.'' The fact that Reogas has served in 
this position for almost three decades is a testament to the fact he 
has lived up to that promise.
  During the past 29 years, Chief Reogas has seen a lot. Some of it 
good, but of course in his line of work, he has also seen a lot of bad. 
One of the biggest challenges he and his department faced was tornado 
damage that occurred to Haleyville as part of the April 27, 2011 
tornado outbreak across Alabama.
  But as Chief, he and his officers have always strived to turn the bad 
situations into the most positive outcomes possible and to always serve 
the citizens with integrity. Under his leadership, the Haleyville 
Police Department has achieved this year after year.
  Chief Reogas is married to Joyce Reogas. They have two daughters, 
Meshia and Jennifer.
  Again, I want to congratulate Chief Reogas on his well-earned 
retirement. I wish him all the best in the years to come in the next 
chapter of his life.
