“too often, we hear an account of another police officer in our Nation coming under attack while carrying out their daily duties, protecting the citizens of their community. It is important that we remember these sacrifices and the many dangers these brave men and women face each day. The daily walk of an American law enforcement officer is truly a walk of faith each day: faith in their abilities obtained from countless hours of training, faith to face the many dangers presented to them during their daily activities, faith in the many friends and family members behind the scenes offering supporting prayer and strength, and faith in knowing their job is a calling to assist the many in their community seeking help in time of need. Today, I want to recognize a member of the Kentucky State Police, Trooper Michael Sanguini, who was shot multiple times on January 28, 2022, while conducting a traffic stop in Harrison County. According to the preliminary investigation, he was struck six times, of which three shots were stopped by his ballistic vest. One shot struck his portable radio, and another struck his issued taser, with one shot striking his body. Thankfully, Trooper Sanguini suffered non-life-threatening injuries. God clearly protected this young trooper. Trooper Sanguini is a native of Bourbon County, KY, and a graduate of Bourbon County High School. He then went on to Eastern Kentucky University, graduating in 2019.…”
