                        Tuesday, April 20, 2004

  Mr. GERLACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sergeant Gregory 
L. Miller of the Boyertown Police Department for being honored by the 
Boyertown Area Times and the Boyertown Jaycees as the Boyertown Police 
Department's Outstanding Law Enforcement Officer of the Year.
  Sergeant Gregory Miller began his career with the Boyertown Police 
Department March 3, 1982 as a part-time officer. He eventually became a 
full-time officer with the Department in 1984.
  During Sergeant Miller's 22 years of service, he has made a great 
impact on the Boyertown community. In 2001, he was recognized for his 
involvement in the prevention of a suicide. A year later, in 2002, 
Sergeant Miller was named the Police Liaison Officer of the Year for 
his work with the Berks County Youth Aid Program. In 2003, he was 
recognized for his bravery in an incident involving a knife-wielding 
man. Sergeant Miller was also the driving force behind starting up the 
new bike patrol in Boyertown.
  Aside from his service in the Boyertown Police Department, Sergeant 
Miller is also an active member of his community. He has been a member 
of the Friendship Hook and Ladder Fire Company since he was 16 and he 
volunteers with the Boyertown Lions Community Ambulance Company.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me today in recognizing 
Sergeant Gregory Miller for his many years of exemplary service to the 
Boyertown community.
