❗️Voter Scam Alert ❗️

Please be aware of a text message voter scam. Benton County and the Secretary of State will never text you to verify your voter registration. One of the more common scams we have seen is by text message. The scammer attempts to scare the recipient into believing they’re not registered to vote. The messages include fake links designed to steal the voter’s personal information.

1. Do not click on any suspicious links
2. Do not reply. Do not provide any personal information
3. Ignore and report the message as a scam
4. Contact your local County Clerk's Office for official voter information: https://bentoncountyar.gov/vote/

You can check your voter registration status on Voter View: https://www.voterview.ar-nova.org/VoterView

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Jude and Frankie and their family to the Gentry Police Department! They got a special VIP tour of our department, including a behind-the scenes look at our building, police vehicles and even a tracking demonstration by K-9 Freya.
We loved having them visit and hope they had as much fun as we did! Thanks for spending part of your day with us, Jude and Frankie.
