U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Senate Majority Whip, spoke on the Senate Floor Wednesday to honor Wyoming law enforcement during National Police Week. Law enforcement officers from across Wyoming were in the Senate Gallery during Senator Barrasso’s remarks. Those in attendance included Sheridan Police Chief Travis Koltiska and members of law enforcement agencies from Rock Springs, Afton, Pinedale, Douglas, Gillette, Sundance, Sheridan, Casper, Cheyenne, Cowley and Evanston. 

During his remarks, Senator Barrasso paid tribute to Sergeant Nevada Krinkee of the Sheridan Police Department who was tragically killed in the line of duty last year. His wife, Karla, and daughter, Bella, are in Washington, D.C., for Police Week to honor his service and sacrifice.

    What a joke. He sure didn’t stand up for the D.C. law enforcement. All those guys who attacked cops are free now. Shame on him and all the Washington Republicans.
