“As Sheriff of Faulkner County, I am committed in tracking down predators that are willing to victimize the citizens of Faulkner County, young and old.   These type of cyber crimes are done by perpetrators who remain in the shadows.  They have no face until caught. These predators are someone’s neighbor, family member or relatives and these crimes may never be discovered or brought to light if we didn’t work towards discovering these predators.  Crimes such as conspiracy to commit rape are intolerable to me, and I will not rest while our team continues to fight for the citizens of this fine county. Through the committed excellence of this administration and our Criminal Investigation Division, Faulkner County is safer home for our children and their families.”  - Sheriff Tim Ryals
