  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Officer Allen Prows for his 
31 years of service at the Daly City Police Department.
  Mr. Prows was appointed police officer in 1980 and graduated from the 
Northern California Criminal Justice Training Center Academy at College 
of the Redwoods in Eureka, California.
  Upon completion of the field training program, Officer Prows began 
his extensive career as a patrol officer. Working all shifts, he rose 
quickly from rookie to seasoned veteran in the patrol division where he 
spent his entire career. He is highly respected by his fellow officers 
and citizens alike and has received numerous letters of appreciation 
from residents and recognition for good team work with unit commanders 
from the department.
  Officer Prows was awarded several departmental commendations, 
including one in 1986 for his part in the capture of two suspects who 
had vandalized Jefferson High School with graffiti and broken windows. 
He received another one in 1991 for being part of a team that 
apprehended a bank robbery suspect.
  Allen Prows graduated from Newark High School in 1975. He earned an 
Associate of Arts degree from Ohlone Community College.
  He lives in South San Francisco and is the proud father of two sons, 
Kevin and Mathew.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask this body to rise with me to honor the service of 
Officer Allen Prows to the residents of Daly City. For over three 
decades, he has been dedicated to our community and made it a safer and 
better place.
