Welcome Spring – Message from the Sheriff

As winter comes to a close and we welcome spring, we at the Faulkner County Sheriff’s Office remember spring is a great time in our community – a new baseball season begins, spring break is approaching, and graduation draws near for our students. We enjoy celebrating these good times in our community.

If our deputies – including our reserve deputies – can help with traffic control or security monitoring at special events, please call us well in advance. When possible, we will help provide coverage for your special events.

We also want to remind you with the warmer weather, children may be playing near our county roads. Please take extra caution and slow down when driving through residential neighborhoods. Remember, children learn by watching us. If you're traveling with a child, please model good driving habits, including:

• Wear your seat belt.
• Obey speed limits especially in school areas and neighborhoods
• Do not text or check social media while driving.
• Make sure children are in the correct car seat.
• Whether driving or walking, in this rainy season be cautious of creeks and easily flooded roads. Play it smart, play it safe  any time you come to a flooded road, TURN AROUND DON'T DROWN!

Thank you for keeping our roads and our citizens safe, and we look forward to the great times spring will bring!
