It Only Takes One Person to Start a Journey...

As I travel around the country for Safe Call Now® I get the opportunity to meet many first responders and every now and then you meet someone special.  Officer Chris White from Henderson, Nevada PD and the Henderson Police Officers Association is one of them.  When a first responder is in crisis and needs help, I want quality individuals dedicated to the betterment of others.  People who are selfless and willing to do the hard work to save lives.  It only takes one person to start the journey, and Chris is that kind of man.  We are honored to have him serve with Safe Call Now®.

Chris White has been employed with the Henderson Police Department since August of 1997. He worked Patrol for seven years and during that time, he worked as a Field Officer, followed by Traffic Officer where he conducted fatal accident investigations. Chris then worked in Henderson's Training Bureau where he was responsible for not only in-service training, but Academy instruction. Chris was later transferred to Investigations where he currently remains today.

In 2000, Chris was selected to join the Crisis Negotiation Team. He has been involved in excess of one hundred call outs and has logged many hours on the phone as well as face-to-face negotiations. Chris is the Training Coordinator for his team and often teaches basic courses to outside agencies. 

As of last year, he became more involved in Henderson's Police Employee Assistance Program (PEAP) as a peer support representative. Chris has received training in Critical Incident Stress Management and has instructed in numerous venues pertaining to various topics as he feels comfortable in/around that arena and welcomes any opportunity to train.
