Baxter Springs welcomes back former officer as new police chief

Law enforcement in southeast Kansas is getting a brand new face — but it’s one that’s pretty familiar in a different part of the Four States. It’s the new police chief for the Baxter Springs Police Department. Brian Henderson is in just his first week on the job, but it’s a career he’s familiar with. “January 1996 was my start date,” said Henderson. The first time Brian Henderson was hired by the Baxter Springs Police Department as a reserve officer. Now he’s back in a much different role. “So it’s coming back home for me, after serving citizens of Joplin for 20 years. And I’m excited to be starting a new chapter in my career, but also coming back to a great and wonderful community to serve as police chief.”
