  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker I rise today in honor of Martin Lentz, 
Police Chief of Cleveland Heights, as he celebrates retirement after 51 
years of service.
  Martin Lentz served on the Cleveland Heights police force for 15 
years before being appointed Chief of Police. Mr. Lentz worked 
tirelessly to improve the safety of Cleveland Heights. Some of his 
accomplishments include obtaining federal grant money to apply computer 
analysis to crime statistics, staggering shifts to handle times of 
increased demand and allowing officers to park their cruisers in front 
of their homes to deter crime.
  In honor of his dedicated service and accomplishments while working 
for the city of Cleveland Heights, the Cleveland Heights Police Academy 
will be renamed the Martin G. Lentz Police Academy.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and recognition 
of Cleveland Heights Police Chief Martin Lentz, whose dedication, 
expertise and concern for the people of the City of Cleveland Heights 
has helped to protect our community. I am grateful for his service. I 
wish Chief Lentz, his family and friends health and happiness.
