                 HONORING THE LIFE OF SALLY G. CARROLL

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. DONALD M. PAYNE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 9, 2019

  Mr. PAYNE. Madam Speaker, Sally G. Carroll was a trailblazer in law 
enforcement and past president of the Newark Branch of the NAACP. She 
dedicated her life to service. Miss Carroll passed away on April 1, 
2019.
   During her 97 years on this earth, Miss Carroll was a pillar in New 
Jersey's criminal justice system. She was one of the first African-
American women to become an officer in the Newark Police Department. 
Miss Carroll later transferred to the Essex County Sherriff's Office, 
where she rose to the rank of detective. Miss Carroll then became the 
first woman to serve on the New Jersey Parole Board.
   Throughout her lifetime of public service, Miss Carroll was active 
in the Newark Branch of the NAACP, where she served as President from 
1967 to 1974. She was an active trustee of the Newark Museum and member 
of the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women. 
Miss Carroll's active service to Newark, Essex County, and New Jersey 
reflected her deep devotion to improving people's lives.
   I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring the life of Sally G. 
Carroll.
