Today, I rise in honor of National Police Week, a week where we honor the men and women who risk their lives every day to protect and serve our neighborhoods. I want to take this opportunity to highlight some of the great work from law enforcement in my district who are helping to keep their communities safe. First, there is West Lafayette Police Officer Brian Danosky who risked his own life to provide lifesaving care to a 22-year-old who had a gunshot wound. In Frankfort, Indiana, Sergeant Chris Salaba was awarded Officer of the Year last year for helping his department overcome challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic. In Putnam County, Sheriff Scott Stockton and his deputies kept deadly drugs off of our streets by seizing 225 pounds of meth. These are just a few of the examples of police officers working to keep our neighborhoods safe. I think it is important to highlight their work and remind citizens that most police officers are good people who want to protect their communities and serve the people within them. ____________________
