After months of recovery, Davis is now back to full duty and works as a School Resource Officer.
The Branson area sponsors National Law Enforcement Week every June and provides “scholarships” for four or five attendees who are nominated after they have been injured in the line of duty or for families who have lost an officer to a line of duty incident.
The committee elected to extend the scholarship for Davis to any time this year.
