(KNZA)--A Hiawatha police officer is being honored by a state association for going above and beyond the call of duty.
Beau Hasenohr will receive the Bronze Outstanding Achievement Award during the Kansas Association of Chiefs of Police banquet on May 11th in Dodge City.
Hasenohr is being recognized for delivering a baby last year. He was dispatched to a Hiawatha residence on June 4th to assist with a woman in labor. Upon arrival, the baby was crowning. Hasenohr delivered the baby and got the infant breathing. Shortly after, EMS personnel arrived.
Police Chief John Defore says to his knowledge its the first award that the Hiawatha Police Department has received from the Association.
Defore presented Hasenohr last June with a Certificate of Merit, the Department’s third highest honor, for his efforts during the call.
During his more than 15-year career in law enforcement, Hasenohr has also served as a deputy with the Brown County Sheriff’s Department and as Horton Police Chief.
