  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
exceptional constituent from my district--Lieutenant John Michniewicz

years of dedicated service in law enforcement.

Officer, Detective, Sergeant, and Lieutenant. He earned numerous awards 
and commendations for his exemplary service and unwavering commitment

  Among his many contributions, Lieutenant Michniewicz conducted 
numerous background investigations for police recruits. His diligence 
and attention to detail ensured that only the most qualified candidates

  He is also a graduate of several prestigious police leadership 
programs, including the Northwestern University School of Police Staff 
and Command, the Police Executive Research Forum's Senior Management 
Institute for Police, and the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development 
Program. For the past 15 years, he served as a member of the 
department's command staff, playing a pivotal role in inmplementing key 
initiatives that enhanced the department's responsiveness and 
strengthened community relations.
  After a long and honorable career in law enforcement, Lieutenant 
Michniewicz now looks forward to a well-earned retirement, where he 
plans to spend time with his wife Diane and family, enjoy the beach, 
and travel.
  Mr. Speaker, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Lieutenant John 
Michniewicz on his retirement and thank him for 35 years of dedicated 
and distinguished service to the citizens of Bucks County and the 
Middleton Township Police Department.
