Cindy Henson was appointed Spring Hill’s new chief of police during the Spring Hill City Council meeting March 15.
“It is my privilege to nominate Cindy Henson to the position of chief of police in the city of Spring Hill, Kansas, and give these officers the leadership they deserve,” Mayor Steven Ellis said.
Henson was selected from a pool of more than 15 applicants, which was ultimately refined to five top candidates, according to a city news release. “Cindy Henson is the right person for the right job at the right time in the right town,” City Administrator Jim Hendershot said.
Henson currently serves as a major with the Overland Park Police Department, where she’s worked for 27 years. She will begin her duties with the Spring Hill Police Department on April 8.
