[Congressional Record Volume 166, Number 73 (Friday, April 17, 2020)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E369] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] IN HONOR OF HOOSIER HERO, OFFICER BREANN LEATH ______ HON. ANDRE CARSON of indiana in the house of representatives Friday, April 17, 2020 Mr. CARSON of Indiana. Madam Speaker, today I rise with a profound sense of sadness to remember Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) Officer Breann Leath, a fallen Hoosier who dedicated her 24 years of life to serving others. I join the City of Indianapolis, the IMPD, as well as the entire law enforcement community over the loss of a true public servant. On April 9, 2020, Officer Leath responded to a domestic violence call on the east side of Indianapolis and was tragically killed. Officer Leath was responding to a call for help, like she had done bravely so many times over her career. She acted bravely and dutifully, and without hesitation and in doing so, sacrificed her own life. Prior to her three years of service with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Officer Leath served in the National Guard with the 387th Military Police Company at Camp Atterbury where she was honorably discharged as a specialist. Those who knew her in high school recall she always wanted to be a police officer. IMPD Chief Randall Taylor stated of Leath, ``She is the example of the type of officer we want on this department.'' It is clear Officer Leath had a passion to her community and country. She was twenty-four years old and is survived by a young son as well as her parents who both served with the Marion County Sheriff's Office. Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in extending our thoughts and prayers to Officer Leath's family. Our communities need more dedicated public servants like Leath. We pay tribute to her life by maintaining our steadfast support for law enforcement providers who honorably and selflessly serve our communities. ____________________
