                      HONORING DEPUTY TAYLOR DAVIS

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. KEN BUCK

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 15, 2018

  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the heroism and 
bravery of Douglas County Sheriff's Deputy Taylor Davis. On December 
31, 2017, Deputy Davis responded with fellow law enforcement officers 
to a domestic disturbance call where she was wounded in the line of 
duty. On behalf of myself and the 4th Congressional District of 
Colorado, I would like to express my sincerest appreciation for Deputy 
Davis' service to our community. I admire her courage and willingness 
to stand in harm's way so that the innocent may be protected.
  Deputy Davis has committed her life to protecting Americans through 
her service in the San Diego Sheriff's Office, the Black Hawk Police 
Department, and then the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
  During the incident on December 31st Deputy Davis received gunshot 
wounds from a gunman who had barricaded himself inside an apartment 
complex. As Deputy Davis now confronts her own physical and emotional 
healing, she will also carry the burden of knowing that one of her 
fellow deputies didn't make it away from the incident alive. For a 
profession that treats each other like family, the loss of a colleague 
is especially painful.
  We must never forget the sacrifices paid by our men and women in 
uniform. Our nation's law enforcers are vital to the safety of Colorado 
communities. On behalf of the citizens of the 4th Congressional 
District of Colorado, I extend my best wishes and deepest gratitude to 
Deputy Davis.
