                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 31, 2001

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Police Officer 
John S. Wisniewski on his retirement from the Jersey City Police 
Department after thirty years of service to our community.
  John S. Wisniewski attended grammar school at Our Lady of 
Czestochowa, St. Anthony's High School, and Jersey City State College. 
Between 1966 and 1968, he served in the United States Army and achieved 
the rank of SP/4, while bravely serving his country and its citizens. 
As an officer of the law, he continued that invaluable service to his 
country with integrity and dedication.
  On May 1, 1972, John S. Wisniewski was appointed to the Jersey City 
Police Department. During his thirty years of service, Officer 
Wisniewski wore many hats at the department. He was assigned to the 
Neighborhood Taskforce in 1972; the Special Patrol Bureau in 1975; the 
East District Patrol in 1990; the West District Patrol in 1991; and 
again to the Special Patrol Bureau in 1992, until his retirement.
  Throughout his career at the Police Department, Office Wisniewski was 
a fine example of dedication and excellence. For his hard work, he 
earned a Class ``C'' Award, two commendations, and eight excellent 
police service awards.
  I am proud to recognize Police Officer John S. Wisniewski for his 
accomplishments, and I ask that my colleagues join me in recognizing 
him for his service to New Jersey.
