Attorney General Pam Bondi honored Florida law enforcement officers today at the state capitol.

Two were selected to be co-Law Enforcement Officers of the year. St Petersburg Police Department Sergeant Karl Lounge and Officer Douglas Weaver were involved in a deadly shoot-out that cost two officers their lives.

“They made the ultimate sacrifice. It was a team effort and unfortunately they can’t be here to see the appreciation. I hope they are somewhere appreciating it,” said Weaver.

Seven other officers were also nominated for the yearly award.
