                         Monday, July 12, 1999

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I wish to 
recognize Sergeant J. Emilio Trujillo of the Pueblo Police Department 
for his years of outstanding service and for his dedication to 
protecting the citizens of Pueblo, Colorado. His hard work, commitment, 
and compassion are to be commended.
  For 34 years, Mr. Trujillo has served in law enforcement, spending 
most of his time in the department's identification section. He is 
known as the best identification officer in Colorado. As supervisor of 
the section, he has served on and managed the crime-scene investigation 
of virtually every homicide, robbery, or serious crime committed in the 
Pueblo area.
  Sergeant Trujillo's knowledge, experience, and work ethic are to be 
valued and appreciated. He is highly respected and admired in the law 
enforcement community for his technical knowledge and supervisory 
skills. Recognized throughout the nation as an expert in latent 
fingerprint examination, Emilio Trujillo is a qualified expert court 
witness in fingerprints, photography, and marijuana identification.
  Not only has he served as an active policeman, he has also worked to 
prepare future police officers by teaching and sharing his experience 
with those attending the police academy. He has provided leadership and 
an example to follow for students of forensic investigation techniques. 
Men like Sergeant Trujillo are few and far between. I am thankful for 
his dedication to the citizens of Pueblo. It is for his efforts to 
uphold justice and serve and protect the people that I now pay tribute 
to Sergeant J. Emilio Trujillo.
