Officer Richard DuChaine is now in the record books, aka the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

DuChaine recently received a Champion of Missouri award from Senator Eric Schmitt, accompanied by a Congressional Record in the Archives.

The senator honored DuChaine because the officer helped save two lives in recent years. In 2024, DuChaine and an off-duty detective saved the life of a passenger traveling on Highway 71. The passenger had a medical emergency.

In 2022, DuChaine and his partner saved the life of a one-month-old girl who stopped breathing due to RSV. Watch the video. On that note, we can report that the baby is now three years old. DuChaine and his family babysit her and see her family often.

Congratulations, Officer DuChaine!
