(From Sen. Eric Schmitt)Today, Senator Eric Schmitt honored Joplin, Missouri Police Captain William Davis as a Champion of Missouri for his heroic actions to round out a busy National Police Week:
“Police don’t just represent the law in Missouri – their role in our communities is far deeper than that. They represent pillars of courage and sacrifice as well as a friendly helping hand for those in need, something every community is founded on.
"Over my tenure in public service, I have had the chance to not only meet but develop deeper relationships with police forces in Missouri. Captain Davis went above and beyond the call of duty, putting his life on the line to protect his community. It is an honor to represent officers such as Capt. William Davis, a deserved Champion of Missouri,” said Senator Eric Schmitt.
