Spring Hill Police Chief Cindy Henson will become Johnson County’s first female Undersheriff next year. According to an announcement on the Spring Hill website, Henson will become one of two undersheriffs in the Administration of Sheriff-elect Byron Roberson in early January. Henson has served five-and-a-half years as Chief at the Spring Hill Police Department, having joined in 2019. Prior to that, she served in the Overland Park Police Department for 27 years.
Spring Hill officials credited her with navigating the challenges of one of Kansas’ fastest-growing cities and creating a strong bond between residents and officers. Henson’s position is part of a changing of the Sheriff’s Office administration that will take place when Roberson is sworn in January 13. Spring Hill Police Captain, Adam Khan, will serve as Interim Chief until the city hires Henson’s successor. The city says it is accepting applications for Henson’s permanent replacement in mid-December.
