  Mrs. TAUSCHER. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Police Lieutenant 
Michael L. Hill who faithfully served the residents of the cities of 
Los Angeles and Fairfield for 36 years.
  Prior to becoming a police officer, Lieutenant Hill served as a 
sleeper fireman with the City of Fairfield beginning in 1974. He worked 
in various civilian positions for the city before becoming a sworn 
police officer on September 10, 1979. Lieutenant Hill began his work 
with the Los Angeles Police Department in April 1982, before returning 
to the Fairfield Police Department in May 1985.
  Lieutenant Hill continued to demonstrate loyalty and dedication to 
the department earning his promotion to Police Sergeant on August 26, 
1988. He served as an inspirational leader for the personnel in Patrol, 
Investigations, Training and the Professional Standers Unit. His 
commitment to this position resulted in his being named Manager of the 
Year for 1996.
  His years of service and leadership led to his promotion to Acting 
Police Lieutenant on May 3, 2002 and then to his formal appointment as 
Police Lieutenant on October 18, 2002.
  Lieutenant Hill will always be remembered and admired for his 
commitment to the community as well as his dedication as a leader. He 
is a loyal representative of the law and has made a lasting, positive 
impact on our cities.
