                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 27, 2016

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Haverford 
Township Police Department on its 100th anniversary of serving and 
protecting families in Delaware County.
  Since 1916, the Haverford Township Police Department has provided 
critical protection for the residents it serves. The force has grown 
from a chief and nine officers to the now sixty-nine officers and 
eighty civilian personnel Chief John Francis Viola leads today.
  While the force has grown immensely in the last hundred years, its 
commitment to public safety has remained constant.
  Mr. Speaker, we are grateful to the fine officers of the Haverford 
Township Police Department, and I wish them another 100 years of 
success in serving the community.
