                            HON. JERRY LEWIS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 24, 1994

  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to your 
attention the fine work and outstanding public service of Dick Heatley 
of San Bernardino, CA. Dick, who has demonstrated a remarkable 
dedication to the many public safety needs of San Bernardino County 
residents over the past 25 years, will be honored at the San Bernardino 
Elks Lodge on April 23 as he retires from his position as State Traffic 
Officer with the Inland Division of the California Highway Patrol.
  Dick graduated from my alma mater San Bernardino High School in 1961 
and has spent the majority of his law enforcement career in southern 
California. Because of his involvement and active leadership in the 
community, DIck has been an instrumental force in preserving law and 
order in San Bernardino County for many years.
  Following his 4-year stint in the U.S. Air Force in 1965, Dick joined 
the San Bernardino Police Department as a patrol officer. Upon 
graduating from the California Highway Patrol Academy in 1968, Dick's 
career in law enforcement flourished. He joined the California Highway 
Patrol as road patrol officer assigned to the Baldwin Park area and 
later that year was reassigned to the Riverside area. While serving 
there, his duties included road patrol, accident review, and serving as 
a court and public affairs officer. For the past 7 years, Dick has been 
assigned to the Inland Division of the CHP serving in many vital 
capacities.
  Dick's distinguished career is further highlighted by his active 
involvement in numerous organizations in the law enforcement arena. In 
addition to serving as the area representative for the California 
Association of Highway Patrolmen, Dick has served as president of the 
Area Squad Club in Riverside and the Division Squad Club while assigned 
to the Inland Division.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me, our colleagues, Dick's family, 
and his many friends in honoring this unique individual for his 
extensive work on behalf of the citizens of southern California. Over 
the years, Dick Heatley has touched the lives of many people in our 
commuinity and our State and it is only fitting that the House 
recognize him today and wish him the best of luck in the years ahead.
