  9. EVERY 15 MINUTES Henderson Police Department • Posted comments • I wanted to let you know how grateful I am for this experience. While it was quite emotional, I am very glad that I did it. The entire retreat was eye-opening and I feel that I have learned a lot. Thank you for giving me and the rest of the students a great opportunity to learn.From a participating student • Last week my daughter was a participant of the Every 15 Minutes program held at Coronado High School. I was familiar with the program and its objectives but until I experienced the program as a parent of a child involved, I had no idea of the impact. I did not believe I would be as emotionally affected as I was, as was my daughter. I believe the impression made on her will be long lasting. She now refuses to even start the engine of the car until everyone inside is buckled up. • From the parent of a participating student E-mail Michael.Hull@cityofhenderson.com
