                     TRIBUTE TO LT. DENNIS HUFFORD

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JAMES M. TALENT

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 17, 1996

  Mr. TALENT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Lt. Dennis 
Hufford of the Chesterfield Police Department. Lieutenant Hufford has 
the honor of being the first officer from the Chesterfield Police 
Department to be sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation National 
Academy in Quantico, VA. On September 13, 1996, Lieutenant Hufford, 
joined by his wife, three children, and Chesterfield Police Chief 
Johnson, graduated from the academy, the most venerated institution of 
its kind in the Nation.
  Lieutenant Hufford has been an asset to the community and the 
Chesterfield Police Department since its inception in 1989. Serving as 
the commander of the Detective Bureau, he was the second officer hired 
by the department. Later, he was promoted to commander of field 
operations where he now supervises 70 officers. Lieutenant Hufford will 
use the skills he learned at the academy when he returns to this 
position this week.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope you will join me in congratulating Lieutenant 
Hufford on this exciting milestone and tremendous accomplishment, as 
well as commend the Chesterfield Police Department and Chief Johnson on 
an excellent choice.
