  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of Officer Walter J. Brant, 
Jr. for his dedication and devotion to his community.
  Walter Brant, born in the Bronx, relocated to Long Island where he 
graduated from North Babylon High School in 1980. Officer Brant joined 
the New York City Police Department in August of 1993. Upon completion 
of the academy he was assigned to Police Service Area #2 where he has 
served the Cypress Hills Development Community for the last seven 
years.
  While serving as a Community Policing Officer, Walter implemented the 
C.P.R. Bike Ride, which involved both the community youth, and 
Officers. Officer Brant has also participated in the 1999 City Wide 
Recruitment Campaign. He is presently active in the N.Y.P.D. after 
school program, A.S.P.I.R.E., and is involved with providing protection 
for the community's senior citizens. In addition, Walter has received 
the Law Enforcement and Community Achievement Awards and the CPR Award 
recognizing him for his commitment to the principles of Courtesy, 
Professionalism, and Respect.
  Walter enjoys spending his free time with his friends and family. He 
devotes himself to the love of his life, Angela and their two children 
Jaclyn and Christopher. He also enjoys boating, carpentry and coaching 
his son's Little League baseball team.
  Mr. Speaker, Officer Walter J. Brant, Jr. has devoted much of his 
life to serving his community through his duty as a police officer. He 
is a very dedicated individual who for many years has devoted himself 
to the youth of his community. As such, he is more than worthy of 
receiving our recognition today. I hope that all of my colleagues will 
join me in honoring this truly remarkable man.
