  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
retirement of Officer James Francis Winn, a thirty-five-year veteran of 
the Dennis Police Department.
  Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, Jim got his Associates Degree in 
Law Enforcement from Springfield State Technical Community College. He 
then went on to receive a Master's Degree in Criminal Justice at 
Western New England College. In 1983 Jim began working for the town of 
Dennis as a summer-appointed special officer. He soon rose to becoming 
a Dispatcher, and finally, a Patrol Officer.
  Jim is dedicated to the safety of children and families in the town 
of Dennis. Throughout his thirty-five years on the force and thirty-one 
years as a Patrol Officer, Jim held positions ranging from K-9 Officer, 
to D.A.R.E. Officer, to Family Services Officer. He has been praised 
for his work at a Bike Safety Program and with the students of the 
Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District, to name just a few. Further, 
Jim has received many awards and recognitions for his incredible work 
for the people of our community.
  In 2003, Jim married his wife Anne. They have two children, Lindsay 
and Ryan, and I wish them many years of happiness and more time spent 
with their family.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor James Francis Winn and his 
commitment to ensuring the safety of his community. I ask that my 
colleagues join me in recognizing his hard work and dedication as he 
celebrates his retirement.
