                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 29, 2010

  Mr. ROSKAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a dedicated public 
servant from my Congressional District, Commander Karen Miller. After 
spending 25 years in the Addison Police Department, she is retiring at 
the end of April.
  Commander Miller started her career in the Dispatch Department and 
was then assigned to the Patrol Division for 8 years. In 1993 she was 
named the full time D.A.R.E. /Crime Prevention Officer for the 
Department. For those 8 years Karen taught more than one thousand 5th 
grade students the importance of living a drug-free life.
  Additionally, Commander Miller developed many programs within the 
Addison Police Department designed to better educate the public about 
crime prevention. The programs created under her leadership include the 
Citizens Police Academy, Senior Citizen Police Academy, Citizens on 
Patrol, Volunteers In Policing Service, Seniors And Law-Enforcement 
Together, and Community Emergency Response Team.
  Madam Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, Karen Miller is a 
remarkable public servant who has dedicated her life to serving the 
people of Addison. Please join me in recognizing her extraordinary 
service and wishing her happiness in the well deserved respite of her 
retirement.
