Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 39 (Thursday, February 27, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 39 (Thursday, February 27, 2025)] [House] [Pages H891-H892] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING GREGORY E. WALZ (Mr. LAWLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. LAWLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and service of Sergeant Gregory E. Walz of the Town of Pound Ridge Police Department. Greg dedicated his life to serving others. Before his career in law enforcement, he worked as an EMT and paramedic, providing lifesaving care across Westchester County. In 2008, he joined the Pound Ridge Police Department, where his skill, dedication, and leadership left a lasting impact. Throughout his career, Greg was a mentor, protector, and friend to so many. His expertise saved lives, and his commitment to public safety earned him the respect of his fellow officers and the community he served. As a police officer, Greg was honored with the Top Cop award by Westchester County for his outstanding efforts in [[Page H892]] traffic safety through DWI enforcement. In 2016, he was promoted to detective, where he took on investigative work and played a key role in training new officers. Just this month, Greg was promoted to sergeant, a testament to his unwavering commitment to Pound Ridge. His passing is a tremendous loss to the Pound Ridge community, and my thoughts are with his wife, Lisa, his family, and his loved ones. Today, we honor his service, his sacrifice, and his legacy. May he rest in peace. ____________________
