Today, Congressman Bill Huizenga spoke on the floor of the U.S. House to congratulate Wyoming Police Chief James Carmody on recently being named the Michigan Police Chief of the Year:
Congressman Huizenga’s Remarks:
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a humble public servant and someone who frankly I am proud to call a friend - Chief James Carmody of the Wyoming, Michigan Police Department - who was recently named Michigan Police Chief of the Year.
Jim Carmody began his career in 1975 as a police officer in Port Huron, Michigan where he rose to the rank of Deputy Chief. In 2006, Jim made the decision to join the Wyoming Police Department and call West Michigan home.
Chief Carmody has led the charge to strengthen the relationship between police officers and the community that they serve, while providing the residents of Wyoming, Michigan with top-notch law enforcement.
Chief Carmody’s relentless commitment to public safety doesn’t end there. He also chairs the Michigan Police Chief’s Traffic Safety Committee and was recently appointed to serve on the Governor’s Traffic Safety Commission.
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Second District of Michigan, I congratulate Chief Carmody on being named the top Michigan Police Chief for 2016 and thank him for his 42 years - and counting - of service to Michigan and to our nation.
