                IN RECOGNITION OF OFFICER KEVIN COLLOPY

                                  _____
                                 

                           HON. JACKIE SPEIER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 16, 2010

  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Officer Kevin Collopy who 
has retired from the Burlingame Police Department after 31 years of 
service.
  He joined the force in 1978 and became one of the youngest police 
inspectors in department history. He has worked in many capacities 
throughout his law enforcement career, including that of Patrol 
Officer, Evidence Technician, Inspector and Acting Watch Commander.
  He has consistently performed his duties in a professional manner 
while sharing his wisdom and work-ethic with all those who have been 
fortunate to work with him.
  With retirement comes the opportunity for Kevin and his wife, Jenny, 
to share more time together and for Kevin to use his pilot's license to 
full advantage as he is bound to fly over the area he was once 
patrolled.
  Madam Speaker, it is fitting that Officer Kevin Collopy will be 
honored at a retirement dinner and I ask that the members join me in 
saluting Officer Collopy for his 31 years of dedicated service to 
public safety.
