         HONORING POLICE OFFICER KEN KIECK UPON HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 10, 2001

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, after 20 years of gracious service to 
Glenwood Springs, Colorado, Ken Kieck has opted to retire as a member 
of the police force there. To serve the public in such a capacity is a 
position worthy of praise and I would like to recognize Ken's 
contributions to the people of Glenwood.
  Ken constantly acted with high levels of energy as he trained new 
officers just entering the ranks in the department. The new officers 
referred to Ken as the ``Answer Guy.'' He was very concerned with the 
proper education of the new officers and sought to ensure that they 
were taught the correct way the first time in every matter. Throughout 
his time on the force, Ken served as a patrolman, an interim Sergeant 
and an administrative officer.
  To honorably serve the public is a great task and Ken's service has 
been one of pride and dedication. While Glenwood is safer due to the 
efforts of this officer, his contributions will be missed. Mr. Speaker, 
I would like to thank Ken Kieck for all that he has done and extend my 
warmest regard and best wishes to him upon his retirement and for many 
years to come.
