                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 26, 2014

  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a distinguished 
member of the law enforcement community from the Sixth Congressional 
District of Illinois, Chief of Police Michael Alsup at William Rainey 
Harper College in Palatine, Illinois.
   Chief Alsup has faithfully served the public for over 42 years. 
Currently, he works as Chief of Police at Harper College, where he has 
spent the past 14 years ensuring the safety and improving the lives of 
students, teachers, administrators, and parents alike. While Chief 
Alsup is set to retire at the end of the month, his legacy of service 
will live on at Harper's thriving campus.
   Mr. Alsup's tenure began as a Deputy Sheriff and Detective for 
Kendall County in 1972. He has since then served as the Chief of Police 
of the Sandwich Police Department and as Lieutenant at the College of 
Dupage in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. After leaving the College of Dupage, he 
began working for Harper College, where he serves as both the Chief of 
Police and a member of the College's Adjunct Faculty in the Criminal 
Justice Program in addition to serving as the College's Emergency 
Management Coordinator.
   Chief Alsup can proudly conclude a distinguished career having made 
an impact on the lives of thousands of students. I know I join his 
family, colleagues, students and friends in wishing him much success in 
this next chapter.
   Mr. Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, please join me in 
commemorating Chief Alsup and his many years of service.

                          ____________________
