   CELEBRATING BERKELEY HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT'S 100TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 14, 2024

  Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
Berkeley Heights Police Department as it celebrates its 100th 
Anniversary this year.
  The Berkeley Heights Police Department was established in 1924 with 
Chief Dominick Russo serving as the Township's first full-time police 
officer. A hundred years later, the department consists of 28 full-time 
officers and support staff committed to protecting the Berkeley Heights 
community and upholding the department's history and values. Their 
dedicated efforts have made Berkeley Heights one of New Jersey's most 
consistently safe municipalities.
  I am proud that the 7th District is home to such committed 
individuals like the officers and staff of the Berkeley Heights Police 
Department. As the Police Department enters a new era in its history, I 
congratulate all who have helped it reach this notable milestone.
