                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 29, 2001

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of P.O. Jeanette Morales and 
her record of service to Brooklyn as a member of the New York City 
Police Department.
  Jeanette Morales was born and raised in East New York. She graduated 
in 1982 and started working as a bank teller. She moved to various 
positions within the bank and ultimately became Senior Customer Service 
Representative. She enjoyed working with and helping people so a friend 
recommended that she become an Auxiliary Police Officer.
  Jeanette served as an Auxiliary Police Officer in the 75th Precinct 
for a year and then applied to become a full-fledged New York City 
Police Officer. She passed the exam and was sworn in on July 11, 1988. 
After she graduated from the Police Academy she was assigned to field 
training within the 88th, 84th, 77th and the 79th precincts. In 
September 1989, Jeanette was assigned to the 79th Precinct. She was 
assigned to rotating tours for the first few years and was assigned to 
various units within the 79th Precinct. She worked in the S.N.E.U. 
(Street narcotics enforcement unit) and the Anti-Crime unit. In October 
1993, she was assigned to Community Affairs. She worked in this unit 
for 8 years along side her partner, Detective David Allen. They worked 
extremely will together until the day he passed away. After 13 years in 
the 79th Precinct, Jeanette was transferred to Brooklyn North Community 
Affairs.
  Mr. Speaker, P.O. Jeanette Morales has served the people of Brooklyn 
and New York City as a dedicated member of the New York City Police 
Department. As such she is more than worthy of our praise. I urge my 
colleagues to join me in honoring this truly committed public servant.
