Reinstate Chief LaTesha Watson as the rightful Henderson Chief Of Police


Reinstate Chief LaTesha Watson as the rightful Henderson Chief Of Police
The Issue
The Henderson Police Department has been no stranger to controversy and questionable governing “oversights”. That was, until LaTesha Watson relocated her family from Texas to Nevada to serve the Henderson community as the Chief Of Police. Using her decades of experience to uphold the integrity of the Henderson Police Department and it’s community, Chief Watson successfully implemented community policing programs, made transparency a priority and did not shy away from holding everyone accountable for their actions : people in the department. Because she would not walk the thin blue line in contrast with her job responsibilities, Chief LaTesha Watson was unfairly targeted and made subject to constant surveillance. She has been bullied and subjected to a hostile work environment because her leadership style is diplomatic as opposed to biased and discriminatory. Now Chief Watson has been placed on administrative leave and encouraged to resign so Henderson can return to the good ‘old boys status quo. We need your help! Sign and share this petition to show the rightful Henderson Chief of Police that we are in solidarity with her and we will be with her in this fight. This is systemic injustice and a stain on the progress we have made as Nevadans. Let’s help get Chief Watson back to her work in the community.
