1. Can I speak to an officer direct if I call the listed police number?

When you call the Police Dept at (903)849-2181, you will speak directly to a Henderson County Sheriff's Office Communications Officer who then either dispatches an officer to you or will have an officer contact you by phone.  This process allows for emergency services to be provided in a given situation much faster than being forced to leave a message if your call went to a desk phone or an officer maned phone who cannot answer.
