Karen Williams brings heart, humor, and a deep well of experience to her role as a Crisis Support Specialist within the Flower Mound Police Department, where she’s been serving since August 2023. Known around the department not only for her compassionate approach and interpersonal check-ins but also for her monthly newsletter, “The Arsenal.” Appropriately named, as she presents an array of resources, tools and helpful insight to ensure officers stay strong — mentally, emotionally and physically.
Karen has been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) since 2020, with a broad background that bridges the clinical world and law enforcement support. She is a Certified First Responder Counselor, oversees the Department’s Peer Support Team and conducts CISMs (Critical Incident Stress Management) interventions when necessary. She also specializes in Child & Adolescent Counseling and Adult and Trauma Counseling, as well as Trauma and Coercive Control Advocacy. These unique specializations afford her a wealth of knowledge that she utilizes daily in her role within the Police Department, also serving as a Crime Victim’s Liaison.
