(KAIR)--A longtime member of the Atchison Police Department is receiving recognition, named as the City of Atchison's ACE of the Month.

According to a release from the City, the honor is earned, for January, by 24-year employee Kurtis Page, a Sergeant with the Police Department, who was nominated for the award by his shift.

Among Page's service to the community, as noted in the release, was his helping a distressed individual remove themselves from the railroad bridge over the Missouri River, coordinating a response from his fellow officers and the Atchison Fire Department, to see a safe outcome.
The release notes that Page, during the rescue, "did an excellent job of talking [the person] through the situation…and if not for [Page], the ending of that call would have been tragic.

Page, as part of his honor, receives the Ace Trophy for the month of January, a $50 gift card to a local business of his choice and will be in the running for Ace of the Year.
