On Thursday, the Helena Police Department gathered Downstairs at the Brewhouse.
They were told it was for a PR event they were required to go to. Instead, the Helena Exchange Club surprised them, and awarded Patrol Officer, Andrew Mohr with the Officer of the Year award.
Mohr received a plaque, and a $500 donation to any non-profit of his choice.
The Helena Police Department also received a $500 donation from the Exchange Club.
When we talked with Mohr, he was still trying to wrap his head around the events.
