HONORING THE CAREER OF POLICE CHIEF DAVID HOOVER Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 73 (Thursday, May 1, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 73 (Thursday, May 1, 2025)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E374] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING THE CAREER OF POLICE CHIEF DAVID HOOVER ______ HON. JOHN JOYCE of pennsylvania in the house of representatives Thursday, May 1, 2025 Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Logan Township Police Chief David Hoover, who retired after 35 years of service in law enforcement in Blair County, Pennsylvania. Chief Hoover began his tenure as an officer in Logan Township in 1992 and was promoted to sergeant and detective sergeant in 2004 and police chief in early 2023. Chief Hoover's achievements include helping to acquire equipment that was needed by officers to effectively perform their duties and supporting the adoption of rules and policies that contributed to a positive work environment for the officers. The mandate of the Logan Township Police Department is to fulfill its public safety mission with honor and integrity and to conform to the highest ethical standards. The leadership of Chief Hoover reflected an enduring commitment to that mandate, and his retirement is a perfect time to recognize his success in perpetuating it. On behalf of everyone in Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, I congratulate Police Chief David Hoover on his retirement and express fond wishes for joy and contentment in all future endeavors. ____________________
