                           PAYING TRIBUTE TO 
                             FRED GUTIERREZ

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 12, 2007

  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Fred Gutierrez who 
has diligently served the Las Vegas community for 36 years as a 
Metropolitan Police Officer.
  Fred Gutierrez was the longest-serving police officer with the 
Metropolitan Police Department. Fred was one of seven current officers 
who worked for the Las Vegas Police Department or Clark County 
Sheriff's Department before they consolidated in 1973. Fred was 
dedicated to serving the public and found his efforts could best be put 
to use by moving from the traffic section in 1977 to patrolling the Las 
Vegas valley's roadways and investigating accidents. It was there that 
he felt he could accomplish the most and spent the next 24 years in 
this division. In 2001, he moved to the agency's DUI detail to help 
research the criminal background of those arrested for driving under 
the influence.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Fred Gutierrez. His commitment to 
protecting the Las Vegas Metropolitan community and exemplary record of 
service is admirable. He serves as an example to all of us and I wish 
him the best in his retirement.
