OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma House of Representatives held a special presentation recently honoring four exceptional law enforcement officers for their extraordinary bravery, resilience and commitment to public service.

The House recognized Officer Caleb Hodam of the Edmond Police Department; Officer Jimmie Reed of the Webbers Falls Police Department; ABLE Agent Alan Davis; and Mayes County Deputy Benjamin Ruppert. Each officer was honored for facing harrowing circumstances in the line of duty and responding with courage and professionalism.

Hodam was violently attacked during a routine traffic stop, peppersprayed and stabbed multiple times, yet managed to survive and recover.

Reed was injured during a traffic stop on March 16, just two days after graduating from the Oklahoma Police Academy. Despite her injuries, she provided critical information to dispatch while wounded.

Davis and Ruppert were recognized for their life-saving actions following the May 25, 2024, tornado in the Osage area. When facing roadblocks and debris, they made their way on foot to reach a collapsed home, where they rescued two adults and three children.

Rep. Erick Harris, REdmond, who led the recognition, praised the officers’ actions.

“These officers represent the very best of Oklahoma,” Harris said. “In the face of violence, disaster and personal injury, they chose to act not out of obligation, but out of an unwavering commitment to protect others. Their courage reminds us why we hold our law enforcement officers in such high regard. We are proud to recognize them and deeply grateful for their sacrifices.”
