(KNZA)---A Hiawatha police officer has been honored by the Kansas Association of Chiefs of Police for going above and beyond the call of duty.

Beau Hasenohr received the Bronze award for “ Exceptional Police Service” during the Association's 37th annual banquet Wednesday in Dodge City. Hasenohr was among 48 officers that were honored.

He was recognized for delivering a baby last year. Hasenohr 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 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 served as an officer with the Hiawatha Police Department, deputy with the Brown County Sheriff’s Department and as Horton Police Chief.
