A Message from the Chief of Police 

I am honored and blessed to be serving the City and its Citizens as the Chief of Police. As Chief, I represent all members of your police department; dedicated and selfless individuals driven to serve and help others in this great City.

The members of this department strive to deliver the absolute best quality of service to our Community, providing a safer place to work, live and visit. This is accomplished through our department's Core Values: 

• Integrity 
• Respect
• Accountability
• Courage
• Professionalism
• Dedication
• Service 

We believe in both firm resilience when dealing with crime, while also fostering community relationships.  We wholeheartedly dedicate ourselves to creating partnerships within our community to make Henderson a better place together.

Our agency became a Recognized Texas Police Chief Association Department in late 2019, and underwent strenuous guideline requirements to achieve this designation. We are only the 160th in the State to receive this distinguished recognition out of approximately 2,400 agencies.

In Service,

Chad Taylor, Chief of Police
