                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 15, 2007

  Mr. EMANUEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
distinguished career of Commander Charles Dulay of the Chicago Police 
Department. After 39 years of honorable and dedicated service to the 
people of Chicago, Commander Dulay will be retiring, leaving behind a 
legacy of excellence and dedication.
  Since assuming control of the 17th Police District in the Albany Park 
neighborhood, Commander Dulay has been my partner and a valued ally in 
helping the people of our community.
  Commander Dulay began his career with the force as a part of the 
Special Operations and Tactical Unit, and then spent 14 years as a 
captain and district watch commander. Mr. Dulay was promoted to the 
rank of district commander of the 17th Police District on June 1, 2005.
  Throughout his career, Commander Dulay's achievement and public 
service have been recognized by prestigious honors and awards including 
two department commendations, 35 honorable mentions, and a unit 
meritorious citation.
  Commander Dulay's community commitments also extend far beyond his 
work for the Chicago Police force. The commander is a member of the 
Chicago Police Captain's Association, the Asian-American Law 
Enforcement Association, and National Association of Asian Law 
Enforcement. An academic, Mr. Dulay, who holds a master of arts in 
urban studies from Loyola University, also has 14 years of experience 
as an adjunct professor of criminal justice at Morton Community 
College, where he has taught Introduction to Criminal Justice as well 
as Criminal Procedure.
  Commander Dulay has been married for 36 years to his wife, Diane, and 
is a grandfather of 2-year-old Tadgh. He has also spent the past 5 
years perfecting his own award-winning red wine that he crafts 
alongside a close friend.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the Fifth Congressional District of 
Illinois and the people of Albany Park, I congratulate Commander 
Charles J. Dulay on his accomplished career and thank him for his 
tireless service to the people of Chicago. I wish him the best of luck 
and continued success in all of his future endeavors.
