Remembering Deputy Larry Henderson

We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of retired Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Larry Henderson. Larry served the residents and businesses of Anderson Township, primarily the area of the Township north of SR 32, from 2021 until his retirement in December 2024. Our thoughts are with his family and friends, and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, during this difficult time. 

Statement from the Hamilton County Sheriffs Office:

It is with profound sadness that Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey announces the death of Hamilton County Sheriff’s Deputy Larry Henderson. Deputy Henderson was tragically struck by a vehicle on Friday, May 2nd, and passed away a short time later.

“In Deputy Henderson’s early tenure as a Sheriff’s Deputy, I recognized his talent for teaching and presentation. Larry began his journey as a Sheriff’s Office trainer early in his career. He developed an expertise and became an excellent trainer. Subsequently, he trained divisions of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office that included hundreds of deputy sheriffs. His ability to relate to and touch officers’ lives was extraordinary. We will continue to honor Larry’s life of service.” - Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey

Deputy Henderson was with HCSO for 33 years beginning June 14th, 1991, and served in several specialized units, including but not limited to Academy Instructor, Dive Team member, HCPA SWAT, FBI Task Force Officer, and the HCSO Bomb Unit.

Deputy Henderson’s badge number, #129, will be retired from our agency.

We want to thank our fellow law enforcement officers, community members, family, friends, and everyone who has offered condolences and support during this incredibly difficult time.

Please keep the Henderson family as well as our department in your thoughts and prayers. We will share funeral arrangements in the near future.
