NASHVILLE, TN -Congressman Andy Ogles (TN-05) presented Metropolitan Nashville Police Department officers Michael Collazo and Rex Engelbert with flags flown over the United States Capitol in their honor and a Congressional Record insert. This was to commemorate their courageous response to the tragic shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville last March and to nominate them for a Congressional Gold Medal.
“The heroism of MNPD officers Collazo and Engelbert on March 27th, 2023 saved countless lives. Their bravery and disregard for personal safety to protect others is nothing short of noble and deserving of national recognition in history,” said Congressman Ogles. "I submitted to the Congressional Record a statement to memorialize their acts of valor and nominated each officer for a Congressional Gold Medal. Officer Collazo and Officer Engelbert, thank you again for being exemplary law enforcement officers. Nashville is blessed to have both of you serving our community.”
