              HONORING LAKE FOREST POLICE CHIEF JAMES HELD

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT J. DOLD

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 5, 2016

  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the career of Lake 
Forest Police Chief James Held.
  Chief Held's career is a testament to his hard work. He rose through 
the ranks from being a student at the College of Lake County and a 
security guard in 1984 to being police chief thirty-two years. His 
creation of the Bike Rodeo and the twenty-year-old Citizen's Police 
Academy programs helped increase community outreach and education on 
behalf of local police forces.
  Chief Held leaves behind a legacy of outstanding leadership at the 
Lake Forest Police Department, where he connected with his fellow 
officers and innovatively engaged with the community.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to express my gratitude to Police Chief 
James Held for his thirty-one years of laudable service.
