                          Friday, May 8, 2020

  Ms. DAVIDS of Kansas. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor Officer Mike 
Mosher who was killed in the line of duty on May 3, 2020. Officer 
Mosher served with the Overland Park Police Department for 14 years and 
was the President of the Overland Park Fraternal Order of Police.
  Officer Mosher was passionate about his job and served valiantly in 
our community. He is described by colleagues, friends, and family as a 
dedicated father and a true gentleman. In 2018, Officer Mosher was one 
of two officers to stop an active shooter. He earned the Gold Valor 
Award and was named Officer of the Year at the Metro Chiefs Awards for 
Valor. Officer Mosher also loved bringing the community together. He 
organized events like Shop with a Cop, served as a field training 
officer, and played a major role in starting the Shoot for the Gold 
fundraiser, which raised tens of thousands of dollars for the Special 
Olympics.
  My thoughts are with Officer Mosher's wife and daughter during this 
difficult time. I join the Overland Park community in expressing my 
deep gratitude for Officer Mosher's service as we mourn his passing.
