Deputy Kinney Awarded State Honor

Johnson County Deputy Kevin Kinney is presented with the American Legion Iowa Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award by Post 17 former Adjutant Howard Henssch in a small ceremony at the Johnson County Sheriffs Office in Iowa City on Friday, February 7, 2014. The award is given based on nominations from fellow law enforcement officials recognizing a well-rounded law enforcement officer who has exceeded the duty requirements expected of his or her position and has demonstrated a distinct pattern of community service coupled with professional achievement. The state award qualifies Deputy Kinney for the national award to be presented at the American Legion National Conference. (Justin Torner/Freelance for the Gazette)
