Henderson Police Chief Hollie Chadwick dismissed after ultimatum

Hollie Chadwick has been officially dismissed as the Police Chief of Henderson, following her refusal to negotiate a separation agreement after being placed on administrative leave since February 13. City Manager Stephanie Garcia-Vause stated that the decision to terminate Chadwick's employment was not due to any misconduct but rather a lack of alignment in leadership styles. Chadwick, who served the department for 21 years, faced tensions within the department, including accusations of 'union busting' against a police union leader. Supporters of Chadwick have voiced their discontent, with an online petition for her reinstatement gathering over 1,800 signatures. The city has not disclosed the reasons for her leave, framing it as a personnel matter. The recent developments have sparked discussions and disagreements among local officials and residents regarding her dismissal and the overall management of the police department.
