TRIBUTE TO MIKE McGUIRE
______
HON. SCOTT McINNIS
of colorado
in the house of representatives
Monday, June 16, 2003
Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to stand before this body of Congress and this nation to pay tribute to Mike McGuire, a Colorado State Patrolman who will be retiring after eight years of distinguished service. Mike served in Durango, Colorado as a Community Resource Officer, where he worked with area schools to promote automobile safety.
Mike joined the State Patrol in 1995, and was quickly promoted to Community Resource Officer. It was there that Mike worked with organizations such as the Colorado Department of Transportation and Mothers Against Drunk Driving, teaching the virtues of seat belt use and driver safety. He works as an instructor in the ``Alive at 25'' program, which gives ticketed drivers the option of a lesser fine if they attend a safety class. Mike was also instrumental in the formation of the Victim Impact Panel for Drunk Drivers, a panel that consists of family and friends of people who have been killed by a drunk driver.
Mr. Speaker, Mike McGuire is the type of person whose dedication and commitment to improving safety has made a difference in the lives of many young Coloradans. The Durango community has greatly benefited from Mike's hard work and perseverance, and I thank him for his efforts. Good luck, Mike, in all of your future endeavors.
