  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, on February 26, 2002, the Milpitas Police 
Department will celebrate the retirement of one of its finest officers, 
Lieutenant Kenneth Doll.
  Lieutenant Doll began his law enforcement career after his separation 
from the United States Navy as a highly decorated serviceman. He is the 
recipient of the Vietnamese Gallantry Cross, Vietnamese Civil Action 
Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and eight air 
medals, as well as a Presidential Unit Commendation and a National 
Defense Medal. He joined the Milpitas Police Department on November 1, 
1971, as the first Patrol Officer. He then advanced to Police Officer 
status in May of 1973, Corporal in August of 1979, Sergeant in May of 
1982, and was promoted to Lieutenant in October of 1998. During his 30-
year career, he has worked or supervised Patrol, Traffic 
Investigations, Community Relations, and Youth Services. For 26 years, 
he has been directly involved in the SWAT and Firearms program, and is 
responsible for a $250,000 Range development project, which is nearing 
completion. Lieutenant Doll has also represented the City and 
Department in athletic competitions throughout the state in the Police 
Olympics, the World Police and Fire Games, and the LAPD's Toughest Cop 
Alive competition, placing second in his age category twice.
  I am honored to join the colleagues of Lieutenant Kenneth Doll in 
commending him for his many years of dedicated and exemplary service to 
law enforcement. He has left his indelible mark of excellence on the 
Milpitas Police Department.
