  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sergeant Dan 
Cohen's retirement from the Newark, California Police Department, and 
to honor his 30 years of exemplary service in the field of law 
enforcement.
  After completing two tours of duty in Vietnam, Sgt. Cohen's law 
enforcement career began in April 1972, when he served as a Deputy 
Sheriff for the Mineral County Sheriff's Department. He worked as a 
Deputy Sheriff until February 1973. In September 1974, Sgt. Cohen was 
hired as a Railroad Police Officer for the Southern Pacific 
Transportation Company where he worked until April 1980.
  Sgt. Cohen began his employment with the Newark Police Department in 
May 1980. He worked in various capacities on the police force, 
including Patrol Sergeant, Administrative Sergeant, Detective Division 
Sergeant, Narcotics/Vice Detective, Homicide Detective and as the 
Hostage Negotiation Team Leader. Dan was also a member of the SWAT Team 
and a Range Master.
  It is my honor to recognize Sergeant Dan Cohen's remarkable career in 
law enforcement. He has demonstrated his commitment, leadership, and 
courage and leaves a lasting impression with the community and his 
colleagues as an outstanding member of the Newark Police Department.
