Today I rise to recognize police officer Shirley Verde on being named the Village of Pinecrest Police Department's Officer of the First Quarter of 2015. Officer Verde has consistently shown her commitment to her community and her fellow officers through her professionalism and dedicated service. She also has proven herself as an invaluable member of the Pinecrest police DUI enforcement program. A perfect example: in the early morning hours of March 1 of this year, Officer Verde successfully and safely resolved a situation where an impaired driver was traveling in the wrong direction on heavily trafficked U.S. 1. There is no doubt that her quick and decisive actions saved many lives. Officer Verde is incredibly worthy of this honor, and I thank her for her dedication and service to the people of my hometown, the Village of Pinecrest. ____________________
