                   SUPPORTING NEW HAMPSHIRE OFFICERS

  (Mr. PAPPAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise as we mark Police Week to express my 
thanks and support for law enforcement officers in New Hampshire and 
across the country who are dedicated to keeping our communities safe.
  Our police answer the call each and every day, and the work they do 
is indispensable to fight crime, keep the peace, and provide the kind 
of assistance that our families and neighbors need.
  Across New Hampshire, I have had the great privilege to get to know 
so many of our law enforcement officials. I am grateful for their 
professionalism, their courage, and their leadership.
  Recently, I had the chance to visit the police department in 
Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, to see the long-needed upgrades that they are 
making through a community project grant secured through our office.
  Congress must continue to invest in public safety infrastructure, 
technology, training, and recruitment and retention efforts to support 
21st century policing. We must commit to valuing and supporting those 
who swear an oath to protect and serve our communities.
