                         Friday, June 22, 2018

  Mr. MacARTHUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the career and 
community contributions of Walter J. Corter, of the Third Congressional 
District, who will retire on July 1, 2018, after over thirty four years 
of public service to Burlington Township.
  Walter has dedicated his career to serving the public. He was hired 
as a Burlington Township Police Officer in 1974 and held various 
assignments in the Patrol Division and Investigation Division. He was 
then appointed as the Public Safety Director in 1983 , and remained in 
that position until 1994. From 1995 to 2003, he served as the Chief of 
Investigations for the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office. He 
additionally served 12 years as Burlington Township's Emergency 
Management Coordinator. In 2004, he returned to the role of Public 
Safety Director where he remained until 2011. He was ultimately 
appointed as the Township Administrator in 2012 and has served in that 
position ever since.
  Walter has received numerous recognitions throughout his career, 
including several lifetime achievements from the Jewish Relations 
Council of South Jersey, the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office, the 
FBI National Academy Associates, and the Burlington County Police 
Chiefs Association. He has served on FBI Director Mueller's National 
Law Enforcement Advisory Committee and is a lifetime member of the 
International Association of Chiefs of Police and the FBI National 
Academy Associates. Through his efforts, several partnerships have been 
formed with various agencies and organizations, which continue to 
benefit the residents of Burlington Township.
  Walter is a highly respected individual whose leadership abilities, 
perseverance, and integrity are widely recognized and demonstrate his 
commitment to public service. He has continued to further initiatives 
and programs within Burlington Township that benefit the community as a 
whole.
  Mr. Speaker, the people of New Jersey's Third Congressional District 
are tremendously honored to have Walter J. Corter as a member of their 
community. Walter has shown a desire to serve the public and to give 
back to his community, and has worked continuously to do so at the best 
of his ability. I am honored to recognize his career of public service 
and to commend him for all that he has contributed to his community.
