"It is with great regret that I tender this formal notice of my intent to resign as Chief of Police of the Fort Smith Department effective April 8, 2019 (request lump sum payment for all other accrued time.) January 2017, I answered the call for a reform-minded chief; a visible leader with a focus on community policing, crime reduction, and high professional standards.
The landscape has changed over the past two years with new and different challenges and I am pleased with the fact that we have implemented positive changes, endeavoring to make the City of Fort Smith a safer place."
