                   HONORING DETECTIVE MICHAEL CALVIN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. STEVE ISRAEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 5, 2003

  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to an exemplary member 
of the Long Island community.
  The Suffolk County Police Department consistently shows us the best 
and most heroic that Long Island has to offer. For the past thirty-five 
years Detective Michael Calvin served as an admirable member of that 
department, first as an exceptional undercover officer with the Rackets 
Bureau, and then as a detective with the Homicide Squad. Over the 
years, Detective Calvin worked as the lead detective on numerous murder 
investigations, including the murder of Claudia Broder of Moriches, by 
her son-in-law, Ralph Farino. He has made a lasting impact on the 
safety of Long Island residents.
  On January 6, 2003, Detective Michael Calvin retired from the Suffolk 
County Police Department. He will be sorely missed by his colleagues 
and by the community that has depended on his hard work to keep them 
safe for so many years. I come to this floor to out of respect and 
offer my congratulations and best wishes.
  Mr. Speaker, Suffolk County owes a debt of gratitude to Detective 
Michael Calvin.
