  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Officer Vincent Sturtevant 
for his 30 years of service at the Daly City Police Department.
  Mr. Sturtevant was appointed a police officer in 1981 and graduated 
from San Jose Criminal Justice Training Center Academy the following 
year.
  Officer Sturtevant started his career as a patrol officer serving as 
a field training officer. In 1994, he was assigned as a detective. He 
has also served many times as an acting patrol sergeant.
  Officer Sturtevant's enthusiasm and commitment to his job are 
exemplary and didn't go unnoticed by his fellow officers who voted him 
most valuable police officer for his shift in 1990 and 1992. He also 
received numerous letters of appreciation from citizens and 
departmental commendations. In 1993, he received a commendation for his 
assistance in apprehending a barricaded suspect who had fired a 
shotgun. In 1994, he was commended for his participation in the capture 
of three armed robbery suspects.
  Vincent is a Daly City boy through and through, having graduated from 
Westmoor High School and earned his Bachelor degree in history from San 
Francisco State University.
  He lives in Daly City with his wife of 20 years, Marianne.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask this body to rise with me to honor the heroic 
service of Officer Vincent Sturtevant to the residents of Daly City. 
For over three decades, he has made our community a safer and better 
place.
