  THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE WISCONSIN CHIEFS OF POLICE ASSOCIATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. TAMMY BALDWIN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 27, 2007

  Ms. BALDWIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to extend my congratulations 
to the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association, which is celebrating 100 
years of excellence. This outstanding achievement is marked by the 
Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association's commitment to providing safe, 
efficient, and effective police services.
  The Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association's standards of excellence 
were first instituted in 1907 with the mission of supplying a public 
voice on social and professional issues for law enforcement. It has 
grown as a resource for its members by making training available in 
state-of-the-art concepts in policing, acting as a legislative advocate 
for law enforcement, providing representation for the general good of 
law enforcement at the local, state and federal levels, and providing 
open communications with the public. Its most important objective has 
been to ensure that Wisconsin law enforcement embodies the highest 
level of integrity and honesty and embraces moral and ethical behavior 
based on the principles found in the law enforcement code of ethics.
  Today, the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association's membership spans 
Wisconsin and includes committees covering cutting-edge issues ranging 
from Homeland Security to Information Technology. And while the issues 
of the day may seem a far cry from those the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police 
Association dealt with 100 years ago, the call to tirelessly safeguard 
the lives and property of area citizens remains the same for the 
members of the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association. Now, more than 
ever, our state is comforted by the knowledge that such citizens are 
prepared to lead in protecting our communities.
  I wholeheartedly congratulate the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police 
Association for 100 years of protecting our communities and recognize 
its continuing commitment to excellence.
