                        Thursday, April 19, 2012

  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Lieutenant Carol Sloane for 
her 21 years of service at the Daly City Police Department.
  Ms. Sloane was appointed police officer in 1990 and graduated from 
the Basic Academy at Butte Community College in Oroville, California. 
As a patrol officer, she trained new recruits as field training 
officers and was well respected by her fellow officers. She served as 
acting patrol sergeant on several occasions.
  In 1994, Officer Sloan was awarded a departmental commendation for 
the arrest of three graffiti suspects. Four years later she received 
the same recognition for apprehending a homicide suspect. Immediately 
after a stabbing incident, Officer Sloan identified a suspicious person 
and through her investigation determined that the person was indeed the 
homicide suspect.
  In February of 2003, Ms. Sloan was promoted to the rank of police 
sergeant. She graduated from the Sherman Block Supervisory Leadership 
Institute and was then assigned to the Management Control and Audit 
Unit where she conducted internal affairs investigations, departmental 
audits and served as the public information officer. Sergeant

Sloane was the face of the Daly City Police Department on many local 
television news stories.
  Carol Sloane broke the gender barrier by becoming the first woman to 
be promoted to police lieutenant at the Daly City Police Department in 
2006. She earned the respect and admiration of her department by 
dedicating much time, attention and mentorship to new and young 
officers.
  Carol Sloane graduated from Terra Nova High School in 1975. She 
attended City College of San Francisco and the College of San Mateo. In 
1999 she completed her degree in management at St. Mary's College.
  Lieutenant Sloan lives in Pacifica with her husband of 14 years, Daly 
City Firefighter Doug Blanckensee, and their seven-year-old son Bryce.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask this body to rise with me to honor the outstanding 
service of Lieutenant Carol Sloan to the residents of Daly City. She 
will be remembered for her dedication, her leadership and for making 
our community a safer and better place.
