Jurisdiction and responsibilities
Henderson Police serves the city in Vance County. It is different from Hendersonville Police in Henderson County and from the Vance County Sheriff’s Office. Correct place identification is particularly important when searching for this department’s records or contact details.
How the agency is organized
The current city contact page identifies chief and assistant-chief leadership and Operations and Support Services functions. It also provides an internal-affairs route through the front desk. The verified headquarters is on Breckenridge Street.
Agency history and local context
The profile uses the current Henderson municipal domain. A formerly plausible police-specific domain displayed unrelated material when reviewed and was excluded rather than treated as an official source.
Official records and officer resources
Use 252-438-4141 for department business and the separately published 252-492-0202 non-emergency dispatch number for response routing. The city’s police directory is the appropriate source for staff contacts, records requests and current service information.
