  SUPPORTING INDIANA'S FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT POLICE DEPARTMENTS

  (Mr. MRVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MRVAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my deep appreciation 
for the inclusion of community project funding requests in the fiscal 
year 2025 appropriations measure that will support police departments 
throughout Indiana's First Congressional District.
  I am proud that these funds will directly assist with the purchase of 
equipment and technology that will enhance the abilities of police 
officers to protect themselves and our communities.
  This positive action would not occur without the thoughtful 
engagement of the House appropriations leaders and the dedicated law 
enforcement personnel from eight municipalities in northwest Indiana, 
including Crown Point, Dyer, East Chicago, Griffith, Hobart, La Porte, 
Schererville, and Valparaiso.
  I look forward to continuing to work with all of my congressional 
colleagues to finalize these critical requests as soon as possible.
