          TRIBUTE TO OFFICER NOAH COLE AND OFFICER NICK GREENE

 Mr. PAUL. Mr. President, the Louisville Metro Police 
Department fields some of the finest officers this Nation has to offer. 
Nothing could be more true of Officers Noah Cole and Nick Greene. On 
the evening of Monday, June 27, 2022, Officers Cole and Greene were 
starting their evening shift like any other night.
  They stopped at Shorty's Food Mart on 18th Street and Broadway in the 
Russell neighborhood of West Louisville when they were alerted by an 
alarmed father. The gentleman told the officers that his daughter 
needed their help. The officers overcame a language barrier with the 
father and responded immediately to his plea.
  They exited Shorty's and ran to the infant, who was in her mother's 
arms. Officer Greene quickly assessed the situation and determined that 
the infant was unconscious from choking. He administered back blows to 
the infant until the blockage was cleared. Simultaneously, Officer Cole 
contacted fire and EMS support to aid in the care of the infant. EMS 
personnel arrived on the scene and were able to further care for the 
infant and calm the parents.
  The actions of these two officers directly saved the life of our most 
vulnerable citizen and stopped the worst-case scenario for any parent: 
burying their child. Officer Cole and Greene are servant leaders, an 
asset to the residents of Louisville, and a testament to the Louisville 
Metro Police Department. I am proud to salute officers Noah Cole, Nick 
Greene, and the entire Louisville Metro Police Department on a job well 
done.
