            Honoring Officer Brent William Perry Scrimshire

  Hot Springs Police Officer Corporal Brent Scrimshire had earned 
recognition as the Arkansas Southwest Region Officer of the Year in 
2016. Sadly, he lost his life while conducting a traffic stop.
  We honor the service and sacrifice of these Arkansans and law 
enforcement officers all across the country who courageously gave their 
lives while upholding law and order. Their deaths are tragic and call 
us to acknowledge their tremendous heroism and selflessness. They also 
invite us to appreciate the reality that the stakes of this occupation 
are a lot higher than most others; they are life and death. The 
perilous nature of policing and law enforcement is something we simply 
can't underestimate or fail to respect.
  I am a proud cosponsor of the Senate resolution marking National 
Police Week because we must always remember the brave officers whose 
lives are cut short because of their service and sacrifice.
