investigation division.
"I have dedicated my adult life to the protection and service of others, being a proactive law
enforcement professional with over twenty years of experience and over 4,000 hours of specialized
training, Chief Henley said." " As we all know our society is changing and law enforcement must
change with it, while still completing the mission of providing a safe community for its citizens." "As
interim Chief it gave me the opportunity to put into place some policies and procedures to make the
department more inclusive, professional and more accessible to our community." “My passion for and
commitment to the cause of serving and protecting our communities has only allowed me to accept this
position with much humility, honor and respect. It is a privilege to serve as the new Police Chief for the
City of Lewisburg,” said Henley.
Henley attended both Liberty University and Nashville State Technical Institute and is member of the
FOP.
The City of Lewisburg continues to hold the safety and welfare of its residents and visitors alike in high
regard. With that, it gives us great pleasure to announce this new leadership in our City’s Police
Department.
