Story Of Fallen Iowa State Patrol Sergeant To Be Told At Tuesday US Senate Hearing

(Washington, DC)  —  The story of fallen Iowa State Patrol Sergeant Jim Smith will be told at a Tuesday hearing before the US Senate Judiciary Committee.  Smith was shot to death last year as law enforcement officers responded to a call.  One of the officers responding with Smith, Zachary Allen Andersen of Cedar Falls, is set to testify.  In his prepared statement, Andersen asks senators to “lead like Jim would, by defending us, protecting us, caring for us, and validating the work we do.”  The hearing will be focused on attacks on police which are growing nationwide.
