                      Thursday, September 14, 2006

  Mrs. TAUSCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Chief Mark 
Moczulski who is retiring from the city of Antioch Police Department 
after 29 years of serving Antioch and the entire region.
  Mark Moczulski began his distinguished career with the city of 
Antioch Police Department in 1977. In 1985, he was promoted to police 
corporal, and in 1987 received the ranking of sergeant. Three years 
later he became a lieutenant, and in 1996, he was promoted to captain.
  In 2000, Mark Moczulski was promoted to police chief for the city of 
Antioch. As chief, he has been instrumental in helping the police 
department expand in size and quality of service and supporting 
community-wide efforts to maintain a high quality of life for city of 
Antioch residents during the region's punctuated growth.
  During his tenure, Chief Moczulski oversaw the completion of several 
projects to support the department's expansion. Some of these 
accomplishments include managing the completion of the build-out of the 
police department's main facility and the establishment of a sub-
station at the Prewett Family Water Park.
  As Chief, Mark Moczulski was also responsible for several technology 
improvement projects including the implementation of a new state-of-
the-art information and records system as well as acquiring important 
safety equipment including portable radios for all officers and 
automated external defibrillators. These expansion projects were 
important for the police department and even more invaluable for 
residents of the Antioch community, who now receive more value-added 
police services than ever before.
  Chief Moczulski also worked to improve the quality of department 
services during his tenure at the Antioch Police Department. His work 
included the creation of a professional standards and training bureau 
as well as the development of a continuous testing process for hiring 
new employees.
  As a resident of Antioch with his wife Robin, Mark Moczulski is both 
a member and leader of the community. Mark has one daughter, Jennifer, 
who is 24 and a son, Eric, who is 24.
  For 29 years, Chief Moczulski has served the Antioch Police 
Department and surrounding community. His hard work has improved the 
safety of the city and the community as a whole, and has ensured an 
enduring legacy of public service in Antioch. Today, I am proud to 
commend him for his service to the community, his dedication to duty 
and his commitment to the people of Antioch.
