Former LRPD Asst. Chief Eric Higgins WINS! 

Sheriff of Pulaski County, AR

The West Feliciana Houma-Choctaw Tribe congratulates Sheriff-elect Eric Higgins of his most impressive and clear victory over the old status quo baton-pass of Doc Holliday. Carl Minden truly represented more of the same old bullshit, indeed. 

Eric Higgins was elected last night in a historic victory that makes him the county's first-ever African American sheriff.

The Houma-Choctaw Nation has witnessed Carl Minden and friends within their corrupt version of "Internal affairs", look the other way and assist the Pulaski County Special School District discriminate against Native American Creole Indians within their public schools.

Sheriff Eric Higgins is a proud Little Rock resident.

CSI for Pulaski County
The key to reducing crime in our community is not enforcement. It is prevention. An effective crime prevention program begins and ends with a community-focused approach. It will be necessary to make arrest and issue citations; that cannot be what drives us. We must be safety-driven.

That means working with the community to identify issues that cause an unsafe environment to exist. To sustain a community and law enforcement partnership it is critical that the Sheriff’s Department has and maintains the trust of the community.

To achieve this the Sheriff’s Department must have integrity as the base of everything it does. Whether interacting with members of our community on the street, making a traffic stop or event when an arrest is made or when a person is detained in our detention center, we must act with integrity - we must do what is right and just. 

This is what I will bring to Pulaski County as your Sheriff.  I will bring CSI to Pulaski County:

Community Focused

Safety Driven

Integrity Based


It is through this community policing approach that we will see a reduction in crime in our community.
