                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 26, 2019

  Mr. KEATING. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
retirement and many laudable accomplishments of Police Chief Matthew 
Clancy of the Duxbury Police Department.
  A native of Massachusetts' South Shore, Matthew Clancy obtained his 
master's degree in Criminal Justice from Boston University. He is a 
graduate of the FBI National Academy, as well as the Command Training 
Program of the New England Institute of Law Enforcement Management. 
After several seasonal special appointments, he began his full-time 
career in law enforcement with the Mashpee Police Department, serving 
there until his appointment as Chief of Police in Plympton, 
Massachusetts in 2002. He served faithfully in that position until 
2010, when he was named Police Chief of the Duxbury Police Department.
  Chief Clancy has gone on to protect and serve his community in a 
variety of ways beyond his work as Chief of Police. He serves as the 
President of the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission and has 
been a Past President of both the Plymouth County Police Chief's 
Association and Old Colony Special Operations Group. He was integral in 
the formation of the Metropolitan Law Enforcement Council Marine Unit, 
where he now serves as Control Chief.
  Chief Clancy has dedicated his life to serving his community and 
championing the cause of better policing, and I wish him many years of 
happiness and relaxation with his family, including his wife Holly, and 
their four children, Eden, Matthew, Marissa and Alyssa.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Matthew Clancy and his commitment 
to ensuring the safety of his community. I ask that my colleagues join 
me in recognizing his hard work and dedication as he celebrates his 
well-earned retirement.
