Senator Sullivan also introduced the Protect Our Heroes Act, which would make it a federal offense to assault or kill a public safety officer, with an enhanced penalty for offenders who lure an officer to a location for the purpose of harming them. Anyone who has seen the news these past few months knows it has been a particularly difficult time for police officers in Alaska and all across the country. They have faced heinous, deliberate acts of violence, said Senator Sullivan. As we come together to celebrate the holiday season with family and friends, let's keep in mind the sacrifices being made by our brave officers, who will be on the beat during the holidays just like our military service membersprotecting us. On behalf of my fellow Alaskans, I want to express my profound gratitude and thanks to our proud law enforcement community, and to their families, for all they do to keep our communities safe. During his floor remarks, Senator Sullivan read excerpts from the testimony Sergeant Brandt delivered to the Fairbanks City Council days before he died due to complications related to his recovery. A full transcript of the Senator's remarks is available here. # # # Print Email Tweet Next Article Previous Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
