              TRIBUTE TO BROADMOOR POLICE CHIEF TIM GUINEY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LANTOS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 29, 2003

  Mr. LANTOS. Mr. Speaker, it is with a mixture of pride and sorrow 
that I invite all of my colleagues to join me in celebrating the career 
of Broadmoor Police Chief Timothy J. Guiney, who is retiring after 33 
years in law enforcement.
   Chief Guiney began his career in 1969 as a full-time reserve Deputy 
Sheriff for the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office. After three years 
there he joined the Brisbane Police Department. During the next 17 
years, Tim Guiney served the Brisbane Police Department with 
distinction as he held every rank in the department from Officer to 
Acting Chief of Police. In 1990, the Broadmoor Police Protection 
District persuaded Chief Guiney to assume the title of Chief of Police 
and District Manager, where he continued to perform above and beyond 
the call of duty.
   Mr. Speaker, Tim Guiney is the heart and soul of San Mateo County 
Law Enforcement. In addition to performing his job with extraordinary 
distinction, Chief Guiney has woven himself into the fabric of our 
community. He is the founder of numerous programs including the Police 
Activities League and Adopt-A-School Brisbane, as well as the ``Cops 
and Kids'' North County Community Day. Additionally, he is a Past-
President and long time executive board member of the Daly City-Colma 
Chamber of Commerce and a past-president of the Daly City Employees 
Federal Credit Union. An active member of San Mateo County, Chief Tim 
Guiney truly is the personification of community policing.
   Combining the intellect of Eliot Ness, the dedication of Joe Friday, 
Andy Taylor's honesty, Barney Miller's patience, Steve McGarrett's 
ability to delegate, and aspiring towards Sonny Crocket's sartorial 
splendor, Chief Tim Guiney represents the best of American Law 
enforcement. Mr. Speaker, I ask all of my esteemed colleagues to rise 
and join me in paying tribute to Chief Tim Guiney's lasting legacy of 
law enforcement excellence.
