                      CONGRATULATING HANOVER PARK

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PETER J. ROSKAM

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 12, 2017

  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Hanover Park on 
being named one of the safest cities in the United States.
  The Hanover Park Police Department reported that for the seventh 
consecutive year crime in Hanover Park has declined to a new record 
low. Hanover Park was also named thirty-seventh on Neighborhood Scout's 
list of America's 100 Safest Cities.
  The Hanover Park Police Department utilizes a strong community 
outreach initiative, Police and Citizens Connected, which employs 
several social media channels for enhanced communication with 
residents. Working together, law enforcement, local officials, and 
Hanover Park residents have positioned the town as safe place to live, 
work, and raise a family.
  Day in and day out the men and women of the Hanover Park Police 
Department risk their lives to protect their community. The shrinking 
crime rate is a direct result of their courageous leadership, which 
will continue to protect this wonderful community. Police Chief Michael 
Menough credited the hard work of his officers, neighbors, and 
community leaders stating, ``We have made community policing the 
central focus of our service delivery, and this will remain our top 
priority.'' With all hands on deck I am sure Hanover Park will continue 
to see record lows in crime for many years to come.
  Mr. Speaker and distinguished colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing the community of Hanover Park, Illinois and congratulating 
them on being named one of the safest cities in America.
