A former Butler Community College police chief had his license revoked after video showed a female employee enter his office and kneel between his legs while he sat at his desk chair, according to the revocation document released in December.

After about five minutes, the woman and Glendell Henderson stood up and he put “his hands on her buttocks and the couple hugged and kissed” before she took a drink from her water bottle and the two left his office, the document says.

Henderson, interviewed later by a college official, said that the two “were just good friends” and, after being shown the video, said she was looking under his desk for a brass monkey and alligator she had gifted him, according to the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training revocation document.

An Eagle reporter twice called a number associated with Henderson on Tuesday. The person who answered hung up both times.

The college received a report of inappropriate contact between Henderson and a co-worker that happened Oct. 9, 2024, the document says. It goes on to talk about the video.

KCPOST also got a complaint on Oct. 16, 2014, about Henderson’s conduct with female co-workers.

Henderson, who is in his late 50s, reiterated to a KCPOST investigator in June 2025 that the woman was looking for a brass monkey and alligator when she knelt before him in his office, the document says.

Henderson “intentionally used false or deceptive statements in official communications with BCCC administration when he stated the co-worker’s purpose under his desk was to locate the brass figurines,” the document says, adding his “conduct shows that he has failed to maintain good moral character sufficient to warrant the public trust in him as a law enforcement officer.”

Henderson, who worked for the Wichita Police Department from 1991 to 2009, worked at the Butler Community College Department of Safety from 2021 to July 2025, the KCPOST revocation document says.
