  Ms. SOLIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the numerous 
contributions made by Officer Robert D. Moore to the Monterey Park 
Police Department during his professional career. After 23 years of 
service, Officer Moore retired from the police force on December 20, 
2001.
  Officer Moore attended the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department 
Academy and graduated on June 8, 1979. By February 19 of the same year, 
Officer Moore began his 23-year career with the Monterey Park Police 
Department. During a large part of his career he worked on the patrol 
division and from 1986 to 1989 he was assigned to the Investigations 
Bureau that dealt with fraud. He obtained Basic, Intermediate, and 
Advanced Police Certificates from the State of California Commission on 
Police Officer Standards of Training.
  During his career, Officer Moore received over thirty letters and 
commendations for his valuable achievements including arrests made, 
investigations conducted, and help provided to members of the 
community. Several of those commendations recognized his extra efforts 
in helping victims of crime, the elderly, and underprivileged members 
of the community. Furthermore, he was also part of the Monterey Park 
Police Department's Baker to Vegas running team.
  I commend Officer Moore's strong commitment to protect and serve the 
Monterey Park community. Officer Moore has been a true

beginning of his career until his retirement and his contributions will 
not be forgotten. I wish him well in his retirement and thank him for 
his many years of public service.
