                     HONORING SERGEANT WAYNE SEITA

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 16, 2002

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sergeant Wayne 
Seita for receiving the 2002 Police Personnel of the Year Award from 
the Sanger District Chamber of Commerce.
  Sergeant Seita joined the Sanger Police Department on January 27, 
1975, and was named permanent sergeant on July 1, 1990. Sergeant 
Seita's colleagues refer to him as a professional, moral, ethical and 
nonbiased person. His ability to maintain the work schedule for patrol, 
without any complaints, is enough to deserve a commendation alone. In 
May of 2000, Wayne was wounded while responding to a call of a wanted 
suspect with a firearm. Thankfully, Sergeant Selta was able to 
recuperate and return to work after a short time. Nothing could stand 
in the way of him protecting the citizens of Sanger and discharging his 
duties as a public servant.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Sergeant Wayne Seita for 
his dedication and contributions to the Sanger Police Department. I 
invite my colleagues to join me in thanking Wayne for his exceptional 
service to the community of Sanger and wishing him many more years of 
continued success.
