SMART’s Middle Tennessee substance use response consultant, Trevor Henderson, was honored by the Department of Justice with the 2024 Award for Excellence in Law Enforcement for his work in his previous role as the Director of the Opioid/Overdose Response and Reduction Program at the Nashville Metro Public Health Department.
His work, in conjunction with that of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Metro Nashville Police Department, and several other law enforcement agencies and public health organizations, led to the timely response to the consequences of a large influx of “Blue Heroin” laced with fentanyl and carfentanil that hit Nashville in 2019, as well as the arrest and conviction of two of the dealers responsible for distributing over 400 grams of these dangerous drugs.
SMART is proud to have Trevor on our team, and we are thrilled that his excellent work has not gone unnoticed.
Congratulations, Trevor!
