Annual Report 2006 Page 2 Annual Report 2006 Page 3 Director’s Office Director: As executive and administrative head of the Arkansas State Police, the director has several responsibilities. The director’s primary responsibilities include promoting the rules and regulations necessary for the efficient operation of the department; supervision and control of discipline and proper management of all the members and employees of the department; recommending for hire all members of the department; and managing the agency’s budget, which is in excess of $120 million. Serving at the will of the Governor, the director is responsible for all administrative and operational decisions of the department. In addition to internal responsibilities to the department, by virtue of the position, the director serves the State in several other areas. The director is a member of the Governor’s Cabinet, the supervisory board of the Arkansas Crime Information Center, the State Emergency Response Commission, the Alcohol and Drug Council, the steering committee of the Arkansas Wireless Information Network, the Child Abuse and Neglect Commission, Arkansas State Police Retirement Board of Trustees, the Arkansas Traffic Records Coordinating Committee, the Fire Protection Licensing Board, the Fire Prevention Commission, the Regulated Storage Tank Advisory Committee of ADEQ, and the Arkansas Homeland Security Committee. Additionally, the director currently serves the Governor as his representative for highway safety. As Arkansas’s highway safety representative, the director manages the Arkansas Highway Safety Office, and approves and administers Arkansas’s highway safety plan. The plan addresses the human element of highway safety and directs federal funds and resources toward programs such as seat belt use and enforcement, impaired driving enforcement, and various occupant protection issues related to child passenger safety. The overall program requires the department to administer approximately $30 million in federal funds that state and local agencies receive.

In addition to the director’s regular duties, the director is responsible for preparing and presenting the agency’s legislative package.
