Henderson Daily Local Brief: Scam Warning, Advocacy, and a Warm Start to March

Public safety: scam calls posing as police

Henderson police are warning residents about callers who make it look like the department’s main number is calling. The scam typically pushes people to call back a different number, then claims there are outstanding warrants that must be paid immediately.

The key red flags: pressure to act fast, demands for payment by gift cards or app-based cards, and requests to keep the call quiet. Police say they do not collect warrant payments by phone, and court-related fines are handled through the courts.

Community: survivor spotlights domestic violence response

A Henderson domestic violence survivor spoke publicly this week to thank the officers who helped save her life and to push for changes she believes would better protect victims. The message locally: reporting can be scary, but help exists, and follow-up support matters as much as the initial response.

Weather: warm start to March

After Saturday’s record-setting warmth in the valley, forecasters were calling for another unusually hot Sunday, with breezy conditions and a cooldown expected early this week. Even if you’re out early, sun and dehydration can sneak up fast when temperatures run 10–15 degrees above normal.

On the calendar: Guns N’ Hoses at Lee’s Family Forum

Saturday’s Guns N’ Hoses charity hockey event in Henderson put police and firefighters on the ice to raise money and awareness for first responder mental health. The day was billed as family-friendly, with festivities at Lee’s Family Forum and tickets tied to the later Silver Knights game.
