                        TRIBUTE TO JACOB SHROYER

  Mr. SCHMITT. Madam President, I rise today to honor Detective Jacob 
Shroyer of Kansas City, MO, for his lifesaving response that went above 
and beyond the call of duty.
  While heading home, Detective Shroyer chose to keep his radio on and 
noticed a vehicle with flashing lights on the far side of the highway. 
Shortly thereafter, he overheard a dispatch call go out. Without 
hesitation, Officer Shroyer made a U-turn and rushed to aid a 
distressed couple. Arriving at the scene, he quickly helped a woman 
experiencing a medical emergency be lowered to the ground. Aided by 
Officer Richard DuChaine, they noticed purple and blue creeping into 
her lips, a sign of impeded breathing. Detective Shroyer immediately 
administered rapid chest compressions and lifesaving CPR to the 
suffocating victim. His actions kept her alive until the Kansas City 
Fire Department arrived with emergency medical equipment.
  Detective Jacob Shroyer is truly a Champion of Missouri. He 
exemplifies the best of Missouri law enforcement. His decisive response 
while off-duty and the effective execution of his training demonstrate 
his commitment to protecting the public--even while off the clock. 
Officer Shroyer received profuse thanks from the couple as they 
recovered in a nearby hospital. I commend Detective Shroyer for his 
extraordinary service and his continued excellence with the Kansas City 
Police Department.
