Thank you to all the kids and "kids" that came and kick'd it with us! We had a blast today. Kickball, popsicles, music and a lot of sweat and laughs all around. Let's do it again soon
Today we celebrated the retirement of two long time employees. Javier Lopez has been a jailer/Building Security Officer with the Springdale Police Department since February 2002. Javier trained many Jailers whom became officers; some still with the department and he will be a major loss for those of us here and within the community.
Corporal Mike Hignite began his career with the Springdale Police Department in July of 1995 or as we would say the late 1900s. Cpl Hignite has been a fitness instructor, Bike Patrol Officer and helped hire and train 71 Officers from 2011-2015. Cpl Hignite, a Springdale Bulldog through and through is well known in the community for his assignment as a School Resource Officer. Cpl Hignite helped build what is now the Law Academy at SHS and taught Criminal Justice Classes the first 9 years of the program. The last 6 years of Cpl Hignite's career has been serving students and staff at JO Kelly Middle School and Childer's Knapp Elementary where he will deeply be missed.
We wish both of you the best in your next chapters and greatly appreciate your service to the Springdale Community.
Think driving yourself home after drinking is cheaper? Think again!
Average rideshare 💰? $25
Average DUI 💰? $10,000
The choice is simple — if you’ve been drinking, call a sober friend 🚗, rideshare 🚘, or taxi 🚖 to get you home safely. #BuzzedDriving is drunk driving.
As we approach the 4th of July and fireworks are being purchased and discharged; we would like to visit the ordinance before we become unintended guests to your family display. Have a happy and safe 4th.

Day 4 of JPA started off with Field Sobriety Tests, using goggles to simulate impairment and trying to do tasks. Students then used the pedal cars to see if they could pass the course. May have been some Mario Kart racing at the end. (No turtles were used) Ended with defensive tactics and handcuffing. Thank you Golden Corral for lunch!!
Day 3 of JPA started off stormy but we made the best of it by learning firearm safety and utilizing our MILO simulation program to give an understanding of some of the situations law enforcement officers could encounter. We would also like to give a big THANK YOU to @salonhross for covering lunch at the Golden Dragon Buffet today.
