                    RECOGNIZING NATIONAL POLICE WEEK

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MARCY KAPTUR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 16, 2022

  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise today during the solemn occasion of 
National Police Week to recognize the law enforcement officers across 
our nation who lost their lives in the line of duty. Every day, police 
officers put on their badges and go into their communities to carry out 
their mission to protect and serve. Tragically, some do not return to 
their families at the end of the day.
  This year, the names of 619 officers have been added to the National 
Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C.--including four 
from Ohio. They are Toledo Police Officer Brandon Stalker, Cleveland 
Police Officer Shane Bartek, Hamilton County Deputy Sheriff Donald 
Gilreath, and Ohio Department of Natural Resources Officer Jason 
Lagore.
  Their legacies will live on in the hearts of all Americans and at the 
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial here in Washington, D.C. We 
are perpetually indebted to them for their service, courage, and 
patriotism. Today and always, let us honor their memories and hold 
their loved ones close in our hearts and prayers.
