                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 27, 2000

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate 
Officer Brian Rose, of the Montclair, California Police Department, for 
earning the Montclair Chamber of Commerce Officer of the Year Award for 
1999.
  Officer Rose began his law enforcement career in 1993 with the 
Adelanto Police Department. While in Adelanto, he served as a K-9 
Officer on the HINET task force which targeted drug transportation on 
the desert roadways.
  In 1997, Officer Rose was hired by the Montclair Police Department. 
Since his arrival, he has been an outstanding law enforcement officer. 
Last year, Officer Rose maintained a stellar record of arrests, 
averaging over 14 apprehensions each month. Many of these arrests were 
felony drug charges which stemmed from routine traffic stops. Officer 
Rose also made over 20 DUI arrests, assisted in the discovery of a 
methamphetamine lab in the city, and aided in the investigation and 
arrests on the charge of kidnapping for ransom. A vehicle pursuit and 
stop conducted by Officer Rose resulted in the arrests of parolees, the 
recovery of a firearm, drugs and over $20,000 in drug monies. Most 
recently, he stopped an out-of-state plated car which resulted in the 
arrests for car theft and for a murder warrant.
  In addition to his work on the streets, Officer Rose has been 
training to become an ``Officer in Charge'' for his shift, as well as 
performing the duties of a Field Training Officer. Officer Rose serves 
as the Montclair Police Department's Drug Recognition Expert and 
trainer.
  Officer Rose's outstanding service to the City of Montclair 
distinguishes him as a true American hero, worthy of this Congress' 
praise and gratitude.
