                      Wednesday, February 28, 2001

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, today I speak in recognition of James B. 
Golden, Jr. and his ongoing dedication to serving the growing needs of 
Central New Jersey families. I join with the Metropolitan Trenton 
African American Chamber of Commerce in recognizing the dedication 
Director Golden has shown working to address the needs of a diverse 
community.
  On March 13, 2000, James was appointed Director of the Trenton Police 
Department. In this capacity he oversees a department of 511 sworn and 
civilian employees who protect and serve more than 88,000 citizens in 
and around New Jersey's capital city.
  Prior to joining the force in Trenton, Director Golden held the 
position of Chief of Police with the Saginaw, Michigan Police 
Department.
  Director Golden comes to Trenton with a long and outstanding career. 
He is a graduate of the 179th session of the FBI National Academy, the 
Senior Management Institute for Police (SMIP) at Harvard University, 
and the Temple University Public Service Management Institute.
  He is a Past President of the National Organization of Black Law 
Enforcement Executives (NOBLE). While in Saginaw, he served on the 
Advisory Board of the St. Mary's Medical Center; he was a member of 
Boys and Girls Club Board of Trustees and was the immediate Past 
Chairman of the Saginaw County Crime Prevention Council.
  Once again, I applaud the efforts of Director Golden and ask all my 
colleagues to join me in recognizing his steadfast commitment to 
serving our community.
