Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my deep appreciation for the inclusion of Community Project funding requests in the fiscal year of 2025 appropriations measure that will support police departments throughout Indiana's first congressional district. I am proud that These funds will directly assist with the purchase of equipment and technology that will enhance the abilities of police officers to protect themselves and our communities. This positive action would not occur without the thoughtful engagement of the House appropriation leaders and the dedicated law enforcement personnel from eight municipalities in Northwest Indiana, including Crown Point, Dyer, East Chicago, Griffith, Hobart, LaPorte, Cherville and Valparaiso.
