                       Wednesday, March 29, 2000

  Mr. TALENT. Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute to an outstanding law 
enforcement officer. Detective Sergeant Warren Williams will be 
retiring on March 31, 2000 after serving 37 years as a St. Louis Police 
Officer. It is an honor for me to recognize this extraordinary 
individual, not only for his numerous professional accomplishments, but 
for the great service he provided the citizens and the community of St. 
Louis and the State of Missouri.
  Detective Sergeant Williams first joined the St. Louis Metropolitan 
Police Department on April 1, 1963. After graduating from the St. Louis 
Police Academy on September 30, 1963, he began his career as a 
patrolman in the city's Fourth District. Mr. Williams was promoted to 
Sergeant on July 2, 1978. As a Police Sergeant, he served in the 
following assignments: Robbery/Burglary Section, Third District Patrol 
Supervisor, Bureau of Investigation, Seventh District Patrol 
Supervisor, Area Three Detective Bureau, North Patrol Detective Bureau, 
and the Internal Affairs Division.
  Prior to beginning his Police career, Mr. Williams served his country 
as a Sergeant in the United States Army. He is a graduate of Vashon 
High School and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National 
Academy's 135th Session. He is also the recipient of two Chiefs of 
Police Communications.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join his family, his colleagues, the St. 
Louis Metropolitan Police Department, the residents of Missouri's 
Second District and me, in paying tribute to the distinguished career 
of Sergeant Warren Williams. His record of service and leadership 
stands not only as an example for other law enforcement officers, but 
for every one of us.
