                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 25, 2001

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize retiring Police Chief 
Frank J. Cox of West Windsor Township, New Jersey and of his thirty-
nine year long commitment to serving the people of New Jersey as a 
distinguished law enforcement officer.
  A native of Princeton, New Jersey, Frank Cox first served on the 
Princeton Township Police Department from 1962 to 1968 before joining 
Chief Frank Maquire to create the West Windsor Township Police 
Department in 1968, becoming Chief in January 1980.
  During his tenure with West Windsor Township's police department, 
Chief Cox was nominated and attended the 109th Session of the FBI 
National Academy and then served as the President of the New Jersey 
Chapter of the FBI National Academy. Additionally, he served as 
President of the Mercer County Chiefs of Police Association as well as 
serving on the executive board for the past fifteen years.
  Because of his tremendous abilities, Chief Cox was even called upon 
to serve as the Interim Business Administrator of West Windsor Township 
from June 2000 to September 2001.

Chief Cox's stalwart leadership for the past half century serves as an 
enduring example of unending commitment and selfless public service. It 
has been a pleasure working with him in recent years.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud Chief Frank Cox on his many years of service 
to the people of West Windsor Township and ask my colleagues to join me 
in recognizing his invaluable contributions to our community and New 
Jersey.
