                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 20, 2011

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
Chief of Police Donald L. Wagner upon his retirement from the Rocky 
River Police Department after 45 years of dedicated service.
  Chief of Police Wagner was born in Lakewood, Ohio on May 13, 1942. He 
graduated from Rocky River High School in 1960 and earned a bachelor's 
degree from Ohio University in 1964.
  Chief of Police Wagner began his career with the Rocky River Police 
Department on April 1, 1965. He was promoted to Sergeant in 1974, 
Lieutenant in 1980, Executive Staff Assistant to the Chief of Police in 
1985 and finally to Chief of Police in 1995. He is a member of the 
International Association of Chiefs of Police, the Ohio Association of 
Chiefs of Police, the Cuyahoga County Police Chiefs Association and the 
Metropolitan Crime Clinic Association.
  The life of a police officer is one of true selflessness and service, 
and Police Chief Wagner is no exception. Each day the brave men and 
women of law enforcement put their lives on the line for the good of 
their communities.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor of Chief of 
Police Donald L. Wagner for his exemplary service on behalf of his 
community. Chief of Police Wagner's dedication to making Rocky River a 
safer place to live and work is honorable and inspiring. I wish Chief 
of Police Wagner peace, health and happiness in all his future 
endeavors.
