                      TRIBUTE TO EDWARD B. GARONE

 Ms. HASSAN. Mr. President, I rise today to thank and pay 
tribute to the service of Derry Police Chief Edward Garone.
  For more than 50 years, Chief Garone has served with dedication and 
has worked to keep the people of Derry and people throughout the 
Granite State safe.
  Throughout it all, Chief Garone has worked tirelessly to ensure 
public safety--the most fundamental task of any government--creating 
the stability necessary for our people, families, and economy, to 
thrive.
  After bravely serving our country in the Marines, Chief Garone began 
his

career as a police officer in 1964 and eventually became captain. In 
1972, he and his family moved to Derry, where he took on the role as 
police chief, a position that he has remained in for more than four 
decades, becoming one of the longest serving full-time police chiefs in 
the United States.
  Chief Garone quickly became a valued member of the Derry community, 
even being named Derry's Citizen of the Year in 1984. And in addition 
to his work in uniform, he worked to improve Derry in a variety of 
ways, including as Rotarian and by volunteering with the Boys and Girls 
Club of Greater Derry.
  Above all, the chief has said that he has appreciated his many years 
in Derry because he enjoys helping people. And people across New 
Hampshire are indeed grateful for his commitment to service.
  Chief Garone represents the very best of New Hampshire's law 
enforcement; he has lived his life in service to our country, and I 
have appreciated our work together. I join the people of Derry in 
thanking him, as well as his family, for all that they have done on 
behalf of the Granite State.
