Cherokee Village Police Department Launches "Wanted" Web Page

Now residents in and around Cherokee Village as well as law enforcement agencies throughout the state of Arkansas can go online and see photos of individuals with information on their charges that have warrants for arrest at the Cherokee Village Police Department.

The ”Wanted” Web page is part of an ongoing community policing effort initiated about a year ago with the Cherokee Village Neighborhood Watch Program coordinated by Bob Smith. Community policing implements the idea that community interaction and support can help control crime and make the community a safer place to live. Neighborhood Watch is a good example of how citizens and their police department can work together to prevent and solve crime. The “Wanted” Web page is a new step in the Cherokee Village community policing effort. With help from the public, the Cherokee Village Police Department will be able to serve more warrants to bring defendants to court in an effort to reduce and prevent crime. Other police departments that have initiated similar Web pages have experienced a significant increase in arrests made possible due to tips or people “turning themselves in” after their names and photos were posted on the website.

Call in your anonymous tips to the Cherokee Village Police Department at 870-257-5225 or email them to cvpolice@cherokeevillage.org.
