Welcome to The Senate Site

The Senate will honor some of the heroes of Trolley Square on Friday at 10:00 a.m.

Ogden Police Officer Kenneth Hammond and Salt Lake City Police Officers Sergeant Andy Oblad, Sergeant Josh Scharman, Detective Dustin Marshall, and Detective Brett Olsen will receive an Official Senate Citation for bravery demonstrated during the Trolley Square tragedy last week.

Officer Hammond was off duty having dinner with his pregnant wife, Sarina, at Trolley Square the night of the tragedy. When he heard shots, Officer Hammond acted quickly saving countless lives by engaging the shooter, pinning him down until the Salt Lake City SWAT team arrived.

Sergeant Oblad, Sergeant Scharman, Detective Marshall and Detective Olsen quickly responded to the scene and were also instrumental in bringing the gunman down.

You can join us here at the Capitol, or watch live on-line.

Thank God for trained police willing to put their lives on the line for a sometimes ungrateful society.

Remember that the next time you are pulled over for speeding.
