       CONGRATULATING REGINALD ``REG'' POHLMAN ON HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 13, 2021

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Reginald 
``Reg'' Pohlman on his retirement as a Police Officer from the 
Carrollton Police Department.
  Reg joined the Carrollton Police Department on January 7, 1991 and 
dedicated over 30 years in service to the Carrollton community first as 
a police officer, before being promoted to Assistant Chief. Reg 
received both the distinguished Medal of Honor and Officer of the Year 
award during his time at the police department. Reg spent much of his 
time announcing, coaching and serving as an outstanding community 
advocate. He enjoys coaching and said it ``keeps him young.'' He served 
as an assistant coach to his brother, Greg Pohlman, for high school 
sports, including baseball. Reg has always been generous with his time 
and when the community needed something, he was always willing to help. 
I want to thank Reg for his dedication to his community and as a former 
athlete, I appreciate his kindness and generosity.
  It is because of leaders such as Reginald ``Reg'' Pohlman that I am 
especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam 
Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Reg Pohlman on his 
retirement.
