                     PAYING TRIBUTE TO GARY L. MAAS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. THOMAS G. TANCREDO

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 27, 2006

  Mr. TANCREDO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the achievements 
of retiring Littleton Police Chief Gary Maas. Chief Maas, a constituent 
of mine, was able to reorganize and improve the Littleton Police 
Department since the beginning of his term in 1996.
  During his tenure, Chief Maas focused on developing a community 
outreach program to provide services to neighborhoods across divisional 
lines. Along with this success, Maas oversaw the initiation of 
community surveys in order to determine the priorities of the citizens. 
A caring and committed individual, Mr. Maas restored confidence and 
strength in the Littleton Police Department through his implementation 
of educational requirements on entry level positions and his work with 
the union to establish the Master Police Officer program.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to honor Mr. Gary Maas and 
his achievements here today, and wish him all the best in his 
retirement.
