     TRIBUTE TO CORPORAL SEAY-PETER FLOYD AND OFFICER NATALIE EUCCE

 Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam President, I rise today to honor 
Fayetteville Police Department Corporal Seay-Peter Floyd and Officer 
Natalie Eucce for being awarded the Attorney General's Award for 
Distinguished Service in Policing by the U.S. Department of Justice.
  This is a well-deserved honor for their dedication, sacrifice, and 
bravery they demonstrated on December 7, 2019, when a gunman, armed 
with 100 rounds of ammunition, targeted law enforcement. Tragically, 
Fayetteville Police Officer Stephen Carr was killed while sitting in a 
patrol vehicle in the police station's parking lot. Corporal Floyd 
courageously pursued the suspect and

fired in order to stop the assailant. Officer Eucce joined in the 
pursuit and also fired her weapon. If not for their quick response, 
there could have been other victims.
  This prestigious award is given to State and local law enforcement 
officers who personify excellence while protecting others. Only 23 
members of the law enforcement community from across the country earned 
this honor this year. Corporal Floyd and Officer Eucce are the first 
Arkansans to receive this award.
  Throughout their careers, Corporal Floyd and Officer Eucce have 
responded to calls for help while not knowing what challenges they will 
face. They are heroic public servants who courageously face danger head 
on. It takes a special person to put their life on the line every day 
to safeguard the public. Corporal Floyd and Officer Eucce represent the 
men and women who make a difference in our communities. I applaud their 
service and commitment to safety and the rule of law and congratulate 
them for receiving the fourth annual Attorney General's Award for 
Distinguished Service in Policing.
