Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. Saturday, May 13th, officers and deputies from Kentucky State Police, Prestonsburg Police, and the Foley County Sheriff's Department joined in Washington, D.C. to receive the Top Cops of the Year Award. The purpose of the Top Cops Awards is to educate the public about our nation's heroes and pay tribute to law enforcement agencies from across the country for actions above and beyond the call of duty. We left on Thursday. We went to Washington, D.C. with all the guys. For the first event was the Top Cops celebrations for pretty much the nation, the United States. That was very interesting and humbling. So that is huge. It's big for a little town here in Floyd County, a little town of Allen. Some incident that happened and the police officers who all came together that day who did all kinds of heroic actions that day to save the life of each other pretty much as what they did, to save Darren's life, to give him out, to save Chris Hall's life, to give him out. Just a number of incidents, but that these guys were involved in that showcased their skills and their bravery. And for that, they were obviously honored for it. State Trooper Billy Ball, Prestonsburg Police Patrolman Dennis Hutchinson, and Sheriff's deputies Dusty Newsom, Chris Hall, and Darren Lawson were awarded the nation's Top Cops Award as a result of their heroic actions during the Allen shooting. Obviously, there's a, even for this Top Cops, it was to memorialize William Petrie, Ralph Frazier, and Jacob Chapins of Drago. So they were also mentioned in the so then the next day we started the candlelight vigil for all the people who police that were killed in 2022 in the line of duty. So we had Oliver Little in that and then William Petrie, Drago, and then Prestonsburg PD Frazier and Chapins. And so that was a real nice candlelight vigil. Today, I came back yesterday. So today, they will be doing the actual induction into the law enforcement memorial wall. They will be doing that. Captain Ralph Frazier, Patrolman Jacob Chapins, and Deputy William Petrie were engraved on the Fallen Officers Memorial, and K9 Drago had their name and end of watch inscribed in stone at the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington DC. It's hard to say it's a good feeling. It's a sad occasion. Don't get me wrong. But to see that these guys are getting what they deserve, for their names to be forever etched in stone, literally, in the marble, for their kids to see, their grandkids to always see and have on that wall that their family member, their dad, whoever, although made the ultimate sacrifice, they will never be forgotten. And so that is obviously some relief on you that their families will know that they're always going to be remembered. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
