It Takes a Special Kind of Person to Save Lives...

Since the inception of Safe Call Now® I have found that it takes a special kind of person to help other first responders who are in crisis.  It takes more than knowledge, it takes more than compassion and it takes more than dedication.  It takes a true commitment, determination and most importantly patience and life experience which you can't study in any classroom.  I'm honored to introduce to you Safe Call Now® Advisory Board Member and my dear friend Kevin Murphy from the City of Henderson Police Employee Assistance Program (PEAP).  Kevin has been with Safe Call Now® since inception and responsible for saving the lives of first responders.


Kevin Murphy began his career in law enforcement in 1991 with the Henderson Police Department. Since beginning his career he has served in areas such as Department Training Officer, Southern Nevada Regional Police Academy – Training and Counseling (TAC) Officer, D.A.R.E. Officer, Community Relations Officer and the City of Henderson Special Events Coordinator.

 In 2008 Kevin suffered a back injury leaving him with a permanent partial disability. In June of 2009, Kevin relinquished his commission and obtained the position of Police Employee Assistance Coordinator. He is currently a member of the E.A.P. Multi-Jurisdictional Emergency Response Task Force, Advisory Board Member of the Trauma Intervention Program, Board of Representatives for the Injured Police Officers Fund and sits on the Board of Directors of HPD Family Support Network. As such Kevin now assists employees, and their family members, who are experiencing personal or job-related issues. He offers all employees an objective and non-judgmental resource to contact for advice and assistance to deal with problems which may or may not affect job performance.

 Kevin assists employees with referrals, coordinates professional counseling resources, and maintains the anonymity and confidentiality of participants. Should an employee experience a significantly stressful event or crisis situation, he will be available for immediate response to the affected employee’s location to provide intervention assistance, if desired. Kevin has also become a Peer Advocate for Safe Call Now to assist the first responders in Southern Nevada.
