                      IN RECOGNITION OF ED GARONE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHRIS PAPPAS

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 11, 2022

  Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Ed Garone's 
long history of leadership in New Hampshire and in celebration of his 
Golden Anniversary of the Derry Chief of Police. Ed first answered the 
call to service in his community in 1964 with the Lebanon Police 
Department and moved up the ranks over the next eight years, being 
named the Derry Chief of Police in 1972.
  When Ed was promoted to Chief in 1972, he oversaw 16 officers. Today, 
he oversees more than 70 officers and runs a department of exemplary 
police officers and staff. He works to ensure the safety of citizens in 
his community, but also for the officers he oversees. Over the years he 
has worked on projects that focused on bettering Derry and the 
community.
  As Chief, Ed has continuously shown dedication to bettering the 
community issue by issue since the 1970s. Ed has always gone above and 
beyond to ensure the safety of the good people of Derry, and all 
Granite Staters, by spearheading efforts to combat the opioid 
epidemic--both in Derry and across the state.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I want to thank Ed for his continued dedication to the 
Granite State and to congratulate him on this momentous milestone.
