                       Wednesday, March 19, 2003

  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a dedicated 
Michigan resident, D/Sgt. Everett Torley, recently named City of 
Livonia Michigan State Trooper of the Year. D/Sgt. Torley has 
distinguished himself as an outstanding resource for the criminal 
justice community in southeast Michigan.
  His knowledge in his field of service is unsurpassed in this state. 
He is one of only three persons in the State of Michigan trained and 
certified in forensic video clarification by the FBI. Those skills have 
been used to solve numerous crimes, most recently ending a string of 
local robberies.
  As a testament of his expertise, D/Sgt. Torley has been asked to 
serve as an instructor at the FBI Academy in the Law Enforcement Video 
Association. As an instructor, D/Sgt. Torley will be instrumental in 
teaching forensic video clarification to law enforcement officers 
around the world.
  Mr. Speaker, I extend my sincere appreciation to D/Sgt. Everett 
Torley for making our state and our country a safer place.
