I am very proud of the members of my department, The officers, dispatchers,
jailers and support staff do a very good job in providing a service to the
citizens of Trumann. I initiated a strong effort to reduce drug activity in
our city just over a year ago. The past year and a half has been very
productive in regards to getting the drug dealers off the street. I have
several officers who take drug interdiction very personal and this reflects
in the number of arrests they make in relation to drugs. I consider myself
very lucky to have such a wonderful group of employees who really care about
their community. I try to provide the officers and other employees some of
the best equipment possible.
I have purchased several new items for the employees in the past year and a
half that will help us provide a better service to the community. For
Example: 16 new Taser's, 25 new vests, new portable radios, new .40 cal
Glocks, new police vehicles, new tactical gear, new computer systems for
dispatch, brand new firing range, 1200 sq. ft training facility and several
upgrades to the police station. The equipment and upgrades are to help us
provide the service to the people of our community in which they deserve.
The citizens can depend on this department always being here for their needs
to maintain peace and security.
