HONORING GREGORY E. WALZ
(Mr. LAWLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LAWLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and service
of Sergeant Gregory E. Walz of the Town of Pound Ridge Police
Department.
Greg dedicated his life to serving others. Before his career in law
enforcement, he worked as an EMT and paramedic, providing lifesaving
care across Westchester County.
In 2008, he joined the Pound Ridge Police Department, where his
skill, dedication, and leadership left a lasting impact.
Throughout his career, Greg was a mentor, protector, and friend to so
many. His expertise saved lives, and his commitment to public safety
earned him the respect of his fellow officers and the community he
served.
As a police officer, Greg was honored with the Top Cop award by
Westchester County for his outstanding efforts in

traffic safety through DWI enforcement.
In 2016, he was promoted to detective, where he took on investigative
work and played a key role in training new officers. Just this month,
Greg was promoted to sergeant, a testament to his unwavering commitment
to Pound Ridge.
His passing is a tremendous loss to the Pound Ridge community, and my
thoughts are with his wife, Lisa, his family, and his loved ones.
Today, we honor his service, his sacrifice, and his legacy. May he
rest in peace.
