                           HON. JACKIE SPEIER

                       Tuesday, November 16, 2010

  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Police Dispatcher Lori 
Riley for her 20 years of dedicated service to Burlingame Police 
Department.
  She joined the department in 1990 after working for seven years as a 
communications operator with the California Highway Patrol. At the 
department, she was responsible for answering incoming emergency calls 
from the public and dispatching help to save both lives and property. 
She was a vital link to police officers, monitoring their activities by 
radio and providing them information while insuring their safety. She 
served as a Communications Training Officer, providing trainees with 
the knowledge and skills needed to effectively perform their duties.
  Lori was recognized by the American Red Cross and the California 
State Assembly for her heroic efforts to save the life of a woman who 
had threatened to commit suicide.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that the Members join me in saluting Dispatcher 
Lori Riley for her 20 years of dedicated service to the Burlingame 
Police Department and that we extended our best wishes to Lori and her 
husband, Steve, for a healthy and happy retirement.
