Lovetta Quinn-Henry makes history as Apopka’s first female police chief

Lovetta Quinn-Henry was officially sworn in Thursday as Apopka’s new chief of police — the first woman to ever lead the department. With more than 30 years of experience in law enforcement, Quinn-Henry brings deep expertise and local roots to the job. She spent 25 years with the Orlando Police Department, where she led major divisions, oversaw the city’s Crime Center, and directed emergency response efforts during crises, including the Pulse Nightclub tragedy in 2016.
