A sexual harassment investigation forced out Patrick Moers as Henderson’s police chief last year, sources told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Sources also told the Review-Journal that Assistant City Manager Greg Blackburn is the subject of a sexual harassment investigation in Henderson. Victimized Henderson employees won’t speak up for fear of losing their jobs, multiple sources told the Review-Journal. Mayor Debra March told the Review-Journal in December that Henderson’s “culture of fear” is unacceptable. The Henderson City Council has said nothing publicly about the allegations.
