Senator Wanggaard, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Officer Jeffrey Comp and his partner, K9 Jaxx. They have proudly served the community of Twin Lakes Wisconsin, and have repeatedly worked to protect the community at the risk of their own lives and safety several times in the past year. On June 11, 2023, Officer Comp and K9 Jaxx assisted in a traffic stop in Twin Lakes during which K9 Jaxx alerted the officers to drugs present in a suspect’s vehicle, and assisted in the arrest of two subjects who were found guilty of multiple felony charges, including possession with intent to distribute harmful drugs into the community; the teamwork of Officer Comp and K9 Jaxx was invaluable in putting these dangerous suspects out of business, getting them off the street, and ultimately in cutting off a supply of narcotics to the Twin Lakes community. They are being honored in the Assembly as part of the First Responders Day.
