A resolution honoring the lives of fallen Missouri police officers and expressing condolences to their families.

SRES 594 is a symbolic Senate resolution honoring three Missouri police officers killed in the line of duty during March 2022: Corporal Benjamin Lee Cooper, Officer Jake Alexander Reed, and Patrolman Lane Anthony Burns. It expresses the Senate’s condolences to their families and recognizes the sacrifices of all law enforcement officers, particularly those serving in rural communities. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funding but formally acknowledges the need for adequate resources for rural law enforcement departments. It serves as a ceremonial gesture of support for officers’ families and the broader law enforcement community.
