Recognition of Dwight Henninger's Service as the International Chiefs of Police President

Background: Chief Henninger has served as the President of the International Association of Chiefs of Police for the past year. The Chief started his presidency dealing with a worldwide pandemic; a summer of unrest following the death of George Floyd, and an overwhelming number of natural disasters that left our country reeling. With those challenges in mind, Chief Henninger made it his priority to the building and rebuilding of community trust. Chief Henninger has said, “building and rebuilding trust in our communities and around the world, is something so critical that we cannot lose focus on it as our primary objective”.   He has spent the last year travelling the globe taking this message to police leaders.  Chief Henninger has been an excellent model for law enforcement leaders to follow and an outstanding representation of the Town of Vail.
