  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, Captain Keith D. Jackson is retiring from the 
Fremont Police Department on July 19, 2001 after a 25-year career with 
the Fremont Police Department. Captain Jackson has been a vital member 
of the Department, has worked his way through the ranks and made 
significant contributions at every level.
  Captain Jackson started at the Department September 1, 1975 as a 
patrol officer. He attended the 84th recruit academy at the Oakland 
Police Department prior to taking on patrol officer duties in Fremont. 
He worked as a patrol officer and a Field Training Officer for new 
recruits until June of 1980. At that time, he was transferred to the 
Investigative Section as a Detective. Captain Jackson distinguished 
himself as a Detective and was promoted to Sergeant in March of 1982. 
He returned to patrol and in October 1983 he was promoted to the rank 
of Lieutenant. As a Lieutenant he worked as a patrol Watch Commander, 
Investigative Section Commander, Services Section Commander and 
returned to patrol as a second tour as Watch Commander between 1983 and 
1988.
  Some of his most significant contributions as Captain have been in 
the area of Special Projects. Captain Jackson was responsible for the 
architectural design of the new $7 million Police Facility that the 
Department members and the public enjoy today. Additionally, he has 
been the lead on the planning and construction of the new jail 
facilities.
  Prior to being hired at the Fremont Police Department, Captain 
Jackson had an exemplary career with the United States Marine Corps 
from 1969 to 1975 on active duty and as a reserve until 1979. Captain 
Jackson graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice 
Administration in the ROTC undergraduate program at San Jose State 
University and upon graduation was commissioned as an officer in the 
Corps. He served in the areas of Air Division, Intelligence, Legal 
Officer and Security Officer. During his career with the Marine Corps, 
he was rated as an expert with a pistol and rifle and was the winner of 
the prestigious National Leatherneck Award for marksmanship.
  As previously mentioned, Captain Jackson has a Bachelor of Science 
degree in Criminal Justice Administration from San Jose State 
University. In addition, he has earned a Masters of Science degree from 
Cal-Polytechnic University Pomona, and a Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, 
Supervisory and Management Certificate from the Commission of Police 
Officer Standards of Training from the State of California.
  I join Captain Jackson's friends and colleagues in thanking him for 
his past contributions to the City of Fremont and wishing him well in 
his retirement years.
