Henderson Last Warning Shot Initiative: The City of Henderson seeks funding for its Last Warning Shot Initiative. The purpose of this project is to implement a comprehensive anti-violence initiative focused on improving training for police and prosecutors; providing qualified, consistent forensic examinations; and providing intervention services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
