         HONORING POLICE CHIEF ROBERT DRISCOLL OF PLEASANT HILL

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. VICKY HARTZLER

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 17, 2022

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor one of Missouri's 
finest, Chief Robert Driscoll. After serving his community by providing 
public safety for more than three decades, Chief Driscoll announced his 
retirement from the Pleasant Hill Police Department in Missouri's 
Fourth Congressional District. Residents of Pleasant Hill have long 
benefited from Chief Driscoll's selfless commitment to serve and 
protect, and his steady leadership will be missed.
  Chief Driscoll began his career with the Pleasant Hill Police 
Department in 1984, where he quickly rose through the ranks to Chief of 
Police in 1996 thanks to his integrity and commitment to serving his 
community. Throughout his years of dedicated service, Chief Driscoll 
has led his department and the City of Pleasant Hill through 
devastating events, such as fires, floods, ice storms, tornadoes, 
building collapses, and train accidents, while keeping crime at bay. In 
these times of crisis, Chief Driscoll stood as a resilient, steady 
leader which his community could turn to for guidance.
  Among Chief Driscoll's most notable accomplishments were bringing 9-
1-1 to Pleasant Hill and integrating the dispatch system into a county-
wide emergency network system. Thanks to Chief Driscoll's advocacy and 
leadership through the implementation of these emergency services, 
Pleasant Hill's over eight thousand residents are safer and get the 
help that they need sooner.
  Chief Driscoll exudes all the necessary qualities critical to 
effectively advocating and representing one's community as a public 
servant and a law enforcement officer--steady leadership, unwavering 
devotion to serving others, admirable character, and a positive 
attitude. On behalf of Missouri's Fourth Congressional District, I 
thank him and his family for their immense devotion to serving our 
community and keeping us safe. Congratulations on a well-deserved 
retirement.
