The swearing-in of Justin Hendren as the new Chief of the Findlay Police Department is a reminder that many law enforcement leaders begin their careers through volunteer service. Before joining the Findlay Police Department as a full-time officer in 1999, Hendren served as an Auxiliary Deputy with the Wood County Sheriff’s Office, gaining valuable experience that helped launch a distinguished career in policing. Over the next 27 years, Hendren rose through the ranks as a patrol officer, field training officer, drug task force supervisor, lieutenant, captain, and now chief. His journey from auxiliary deputy to police chief highlights the important role volunteer and reserve law enforcement programs play in developing future leaders and providing a pathway for individuals committed to serving their communities.
