Henderson Life of CrimeSecond Thursday of Each Month - Henderson Municipal Court
Henderson Life of Crime is an educational program designed to reach youth, young adults and their parents. The program centers around the everyday choices our youth make - good and bad. Conflict between parents and teens can be challenging and stressful The Life of Crime program provides life-changing information and is a valuable experience for parents, their teenagers and young adults, even in the absence of discord. The beginning of the program starts with a brief discussion after which there is a demonstration by different divisions of law enforcement including K-9, SRT (or SWAT), the CAT team and ROP(E) team. After a brief recess, inmates from the detention center give a very detailed and graphic description of what life is really like behind bars. The inmates also give a brief description of the choices they made and how they ended up on the wrong side of the law.
Judge Hampton, in conjunction with the Henderson Police Department, brought the Life of Crime program to Henderson in January 2010. This program is conducted in a courtroom at the Henderson Municipal Court located at 243 South Water Street on the northeast corner of Water and Basic Streets.
