HONORING KYLE REOGAS OF HALEYVILLE, ALABAMA
______
HON. ROBERT B. ADERHOLT
of alabama
in the house of representatives
Monday, February 22, 2021
Mr. ADERHOLT. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to offer a congratulations to the retiring police chief of the city of Haleyville, Alabama, Kyle Reogas.
The city of Haleyville is where I was born, grew up and is my current residence and Chief Reogas has served our community as chief for 29 years. In fact, Chief Reogas has been with the Haleyville Police Department for a total of 34 years.
On Monday, May 4, 1992, then Haleyville Mayor W.G. Campbell and the city council, appointed Reogas as the chief of police.
On that night of his appointment, Reogas said ``I appreciate this opportunity to serve Haleyville as its police chief, and I will do the job to the best of my ability.'' The fact that Reogas has served in this position for almost three decades is a testament to the fact he has lived up to that promise.
During the past 29 years, Chief Reogas has seen a lot. Some of it good, but of course in his line of work, he has also seen a lot of bad. One of the biggest challenges he and his department faced was tornado damage that occurred to Haleyville as part of the April 27, 2011 tornado outbreak across Alabama.
But as Chief, he and his officers have always strived to turn the bad situations into the most positive outcomes possible and to always serve the citizens with integrity. Under his leadership, the Haleyville Police Department has achieved this year after year.
Chief Reogas is married to Joyce Reogas. They have two daughters, Meshia and Jennifer.
Again, I want to congratulate Chief Reogas on his well-earned retirement. I wish him all the best in the years to come in the next chapter of his life.
