  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, July 15, 1996, the 
professional and dedicated services of a Denver police officer ended. 
Capt. Steve Metros will be fulfilling a life-time aspiration of 41 
years of constant, faithful service to the citizens of the city and 
county of Denver, CO.
  Captain Metros was appointed to the rank of patrolman with the Denver 
Police Department on January 3, 1956. He has served in virtually every 
capacity as a Denver police officer but is especially noted for his 
superb dedication to battling crime and uncompromising code of ethics. 
Captain Metros has served as a role model to innumerable police 
officers and his distinguished career leaves a legacy of dedicated 
service and commitment.
  His pride, reputation, and continued belief in the performance of 
members of the department have revered him throughout the department 
and the community as well.
  His willingness to share his knowledge and words of wisdom and 
encouragement have rendered him a mentor to many of his subordinates 
and associates and to many who will follow in his footsteps.
  With 41 years of service, he is a part of the foundation of the 
Denver Police Department and he will be sorely missed.
