  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and commemorate 
Doylestown Police Chief Dean Logan, after faithfully serving and 
protecting the residents of Doylestown for the past thirty-seven years.
  Chief Logan began his career in 1987 as a patrolman. His hard work 
and unwavering dedication quickly propelled him through the ranks. Just 
four years later, Officer Logan became Detective Logan, a role in which 
he served for 12 years, solving numerous cases and delivering justice 
to the community he cared so deeply about. His excellence and 
leadership were undeniable, and he soon moved up again, this time to 
Sergeant. After just two years in that role, he became a Lieutenant-- a 
position he held for seven years. It was during this period that he 
attended and graduated from Session 226 of the FBI National Academy, a 
prestigious milestone in his career.
  Chief Logan's ascent did not stop there. In 2012, after many years of 
dedicated service, he took on the role of Chief, a position in which he 
served the people of Doylestown Township with courage and distinction.
  During his tenure as Chief, he led a team of over 20 officers and 
civilian staff and managed an annual budget exceeding three million 
dollars. His leadership and forward-thinking approach left a lasting 
impact on the community, particularly through his contributions to 
modernizing and improving policing practices. Under his guidance, the 
department embraced the use of social media, implemented In-Car and 
Body-Worn Camera systems, and established a Motor Patrol Unit. Chief 
Logan also prioritized the continued education and training of his 
officers, ensuring they were equipped with advanced skills in traffic 
enforcement, criminal investigations, and command-level leadership.
  Chief Logan's service extended beyond the Doylestown Township Police 
Department. He was a dedicated member of the Bucks County Chiefs of 
Police Association and the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association. 
His leadership also played a key role in the construction of the new 
Township Administration Building and Police Station in 2018, as part of 
the Doylestown Township Building Committee.
  Chief Logan has spent his life and career protecting and serving the 
public. His commitment, vision, and integrity embody the very best of 
law enforcement, and his impact on this community will be felt for 
years to come. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors and 
express our deep gratitude for his service to the Doylestown Township 
Police Department. Mr. Speaker, I ask that we remember Chief A. Dean 
Logan for his remarkable service, his commitment to others, and the 
indelible mark he has left on all who had the privilege to know him.
