                      Wednesday, February 5, 2025

  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Officer Andrew 
Humphries of the Frankfort Police Department on being awarded the 2024 
Medal of Valor for his bravery demonstrated while responding to a 
critical situation within Franklin County.
  During a high-risk pursuit with an armed suspect who had barricaded 
himself in a vehicle following a multi-jurisdictional pursuit, Officer 
Humphries, responding to Lieutenant Smither's direction, approached the 
barricaded vehicle and successfully deployed chemical munitions, 
forcing the suspect to exit.
  Officer Humphries demonstrated excellent courage and tactical 
precision through his response. He played a vital role in ensuring this 
potentially lethal situation was resolved successfully.
  Officer Humphries voluntarily performed extraordinary acts of 
bravery. His actions went above and beyond and have made him deserving 
of this fine honor. I am confident that Officer Humphries will continue 
to serve as an exemplary role model for law enforcement officers across 
the 1st Congressional District and the entire Commonwealth of Kentucky.
