“I come today to the floor for a moment of reflection and remembrance of four courageous law enforcement officers in Ohio that we lost in 2025. As those in this Chamber and across our Nation may know, it is National Police Week, a dedicated time to honor the service and sacrifice of these heroes who protect us every day. The four officers I am highlighting today lost their lives in the line of duty in 2025. Each of them will be added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial wall to honor their lives and dedication to protecting and serving. Honoring Deputy Larry Henderson I want to start with Deputy Larry Henderson. I remember this incident vividly. Deputy Henderson of Hamilton County was 57 years old. He and his wife have five grown children, and he was also a foster father of two infants. After 4 years in the Marine Corps, he spent 33 years with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, holding many of the most dangerous jobs in both endeavors. Deputy Henderson died on May 2, 2025, after being run down by a motorist while working a special detail for the University of Cincinnati's graduation. Deputy Henderson served his country and his community until his final day, and we remain forever grateful.”
