This morning, Arkansas State Drug Director Tom Fisher met with Mr. Montgomery's Foundations of Criminal Justice classes!
Mr. Fisher spoke about his experiences throughout his career in law enforcement- from his early days as a reserve officer in the Faulkner County Sheriff's Office to his time in St. Louis & the greater mid-west with the Drug Enforcement Agency. He also took the time to answer several questions from students after class.
We appreciate Mr. Fisher for taking time out of his schedule to come meet with us!

Dr. Skaggs' Police & Society class was introduced last week to the local agencies they'll be collaborating with throughout the semester! Over the next few months, they'll get to participate in ride-alongs, trainings, and physical entrance exams; wrapping up with a Special Olympics fundraiser at the end of the semester!

Faulkner County Sheriff’s Office was honored to join representatives from Arkansas State Police, Conway Police Department, University of Central Arkansas Police Department, City of Guy Police Department, & Conway Emergency Operations Center in speaking with the UCA Police & Society class for Department Introduction Day. During the presentation, officers discussed basic information about their departments, and Captain Landon Rappold and Staff Sergeant Timothy Johnson were proud to introduce Faulkner County Sheriff's Office. This begins an annual semester-long partnership with the course in which students complete ride-alongs, trainings, and physical entrance examinations with the agencies. Students will also be working with the agencies to host the new Special Olympics Arkansas Float the Flame fundraiser this year. We look forward to continuing to work with these students throughout the semester for this annual partnership!
