Teammates in Action
On December 8, 2022, Troop E Communications Operator Davis received a phone call from the Butler County Sheriff’s Office about shots fired and to advise a deputy was down. From the background radio traffic he heard, Davis could tell the scene was not secure. He kept a calm voice and immediately began logging critical information directly into the CAD system.
Within in a matter of seconds, Operators Sutton, Keeney, and Stroud made crucial notifications by radio and telephone to local and surrounding zone officers and staff members while continuing to collect rapidly changing information from the Butler County Sheriff’s Office. Without hesitation, the operators began giving directions to the scene and quickly learned the shooter was armed with an AR-15 rifle. Operators also discovered there were two victims. When field responders secured the scene, it was determined no law enforcement officers had been injured, but the shooter and the two victims were deceased.
