                      Thursday, November 17, 2016

  Mrs. TORRES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Police Service 
Representative Albert Campos for his 34 years of dedicated service to 
the Los Angeles Police Department.
  Albert Campos began his career at Communications Division on May 24, 
1982, as a Police Service Representative and is the last remaining 
member of his class.
  Immediately after joining Communications, Albert began receiving 
commendations for his professionalism and excellent work ethic. He was 
commended by Captain Harrison, Newton FSD for an outstanding job on a 
Newton Task Force on March 7, 1983.
  On October 31, 1988, Albert was commended for ``Bringing Home the 
Gold'' as a member of the United States Para-Olympics Wheelchair 
Basketball team in Seoul, Korea. The team was victorious as they had 
defeated six other teams. He was honored that November by the Mayor, 
The Police Commission, the Los Angeles City Council and the Los Angeles 
Board of Supervisors for his participation.
  Throughout his career Albert has been consistently recognized for his 
commitment to excellence and outstanding support of the officers in the 
field especially during emergencies and tactical situations. His 
stellar performance made him a pleasure to work with. Albert's 
professionalism, expertise and friendship were and are appreciated by 
his peers and co-workers, who describe him as a quiet professional.
  For his many contributions to our community and for his dedication 
and commitment to the Division, the Department and the citizens of Los 
Angeles, I would like to recognize Albert Campos here on the House 
floor today.
