Henderson Police Department’s Officer Shaw and Sgt Simmons were presented with the department’s “Life Saving” Award by their Lieutenant, J. Ferguson last week. This is Sgt Simmons’ second Life Saving Award during his tenure with the department.

On October 17 at 1:58 a.m., Sgt. Simmons and Officer Shaw responded to a residence on Hughes Street to investigate a call from a neighbor that smelled smoke and could hear someone screaming. When they arrived, they heard the screaming and saw smoke coming from the residence. They immediately radioed for fire units to respond and notified communications that a person was inside.

With the help of a neighbor, Simmons and Shaw were able to breach the door. They could not initially locate the person due to the heavy smoke. Shaw was finally able to enter the residence, and with just a minimum amount of visibility, located the resident, and led him out of the home to safety.

Fire and EMS units arrived and treated the citizen for serious smoke inhalation and other symptoms. He was transported to a medical facility for treatment.

The HPD shared that “these are the moments that rarely are told unless told by us; expect to see us begin to share more. These officers went above and beyond.”

THIS STORY IS PRESENTED IN PART BY DRAKE DENTISTRY

Henderson Police Chief Marcus Barrow appeared on WIZS Town Talk Monday at 11 a.m.

Barrow, who was happy to report that the Henderson Police Department is starting the new year fully staffed, discussed numerous topics including the discharge of firearms inside city limits, the sheer number of guns in both the community and the country as a whole and the right to bear arms.

Plans for new initiatives for the new year, including a possible local version of the national “Coffee With a Cop” open community dialogue program, are already underway. To be more inclusive of the entire community, Barrow said the department is looking at changing the name of the program to shift the focus from law enforcement to citizen input and discussion.

The HPD is currently in talks with the newly opened Sadie’s Coffee Corner in downtown Henderson to provide the location and, of course, the coffee.
