                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ED PERLMUTTER

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 7, 2022

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the City of 
Golden's Chief of Police Bill Kilpatrick for his incredible, 42 year-
long career in law enforcement and to congratulate him on his upcoming 
retirement.
  Chief Kilpatrick began his career with 10 years on the police force 
in Englewood, Colorado, during which he was promoted to the rank of 
Sergeant and earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Denver. His 
commitment to public safety led him to the Golden Police Department in 
1989, where he became chief in 2002.
  During his tenure, he guided the force through an unprecedented 
period of growth and achievement, raising the bar for what it means to 
be a public servant. Among his many accomplishments, he established 
Crisis Intervention Training programs in Jefferson County, helped found 
Colorado Crisis Services--the largest emergency mental health service 
hotline in the state, and was honored with the Colorado Association of 
Police Chiefs President's Award in 2011 in recognition of his tireless 
dedication to his community.
  Chief Kilpatrick will be dearly missed on the force, and I wish him 
the best in his retirement. I thank him for his service and commitment 
to our community and our state.
