HENDERSON COUNTY–Henderson County Commissioners’ Court voted Jan. 24 to approve interlocal agreements with the cities of Eustace and Chandler with the Henderson County Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Sheriff Botie Hillhouse told the court that each agreement lasts five years. Hillhouse remarked that he expects more entities to sign on to the task force in the future and estimated the current number of task force members, which includes Henderson County school districts and cities, to total eight or nine.
“I think it’s a great deal,” Precinct 2 Commissioner Scott Tuley said. “I hope every one of our cities and school districts signs on with this.”
The court also voted after an executive session to appoint Jason Ramsey as Precinct 2 constable, replacing the retired Mitch Baker.
