                         Tuesday, June 22, 2021

  Mr. NORCROSS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and commend Cherry 
Hill, New Jersey Police Chief William ``Bud'' Monaghan, Cherry Hill 
Police Department.
  After 26 years of service, Chief of Police William ``Bud'' Monaghan 
is set to retire in October 2021. Chief Monaghan joined the police 
department in 1995 as a patrolman. He has led the police force since 
January 2014. During his years as Chief of Police, he worked to 
strengthen the community by creating close ties with the public. Chief 
Monaghan built relationships with cultural, religious, youth and civic 
groups to connect the Police Department with its area.
  Chief Monaghan regularly attended community meetings to participate 
in the discussions about Cherry Hill's neighborhoods. He is devoted to 
keeping the area protected and safe. He also focuses on police 
transparency and up to date technology to continue to provide aid and 
comfort to the residents.
  The Cherry Hill Police Department is committed to protecting both 
life and property. Cherry Hill, New Jersey is home to over seventy-
thousand residents and the police department averages one-hundred 
twenty thousand calls for service per year. Chief Monaghan and his 
police department provide the highest level of police service while 
also enhancing the quality of life in the area.
  Chief Monaghan's dedication to the police department and its 136 
full-time sworn officers has resulted in a safe and thankful community 
that fosters growth and acceptance. Chief Monaghan describes his time 
and service at the Cherry Hill police department as ``the honor of a 
lifetime.'' His successor will be chosen in the coming months, but it 
is evident that Chief Monaghan's impact on the Cherry Hill Police 
Department will be appreciated for years to come.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring Police Chief William 
Monaghan in his retirement and recognizing his more than two and a half 
decades of service to the Township of Cherry Hill and their Police 
Department.
