The Hendersonville Police Department is participating in a trust-building campaign organized by the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
The campaign is built on six pillars and 25 objectives related to bias-free policing, community relations and use of force.
Hendersonville Police Chief Blair Myhand says the department has three years to complete all objectives in the campaign.
He said he hopes this will position the department as a leader in 21st-century policing.
“Part of this is us being able to show our community, demonstrate to our community that we are operating at the highest levels of professional law enforcement, based on what other groups are saying, not what Chief Myhand says," the police chief told News 13 Wednesday, April 12.
Myhand said the department is working to find ways to make its progress in the trust-building campaign publicly available to the community.
