The History of the

Hendersonville Police Department

 

 

   
   
   
   
         
  The Hendersonville Police Department was started about 40 years after the City's incorporation in 1847.  Chief B.B. Jackson was appointed as first town Police Chief in 1889. 

Tracey Cox is currently researching the history of the department and is searching for any historical documents, pictures, or stories available for review.  If you have anything you may think would be of interest, especially any pictures you may have, please contact Tracey at 828-697-3038.
