   Chief Noel Foster is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, and has served in law enforcement management for over 10 years. He is continually involved in many community efforts, as well as working with other areas of our state and country. In September 2005, he coordinated relief effort along with other agencies in the White Hall area, to provide emergency assistance to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Three tractor-trailer truck loads of supplies were delivered to the effected area by Chief Foster and members of his staff, with armed offices from our police department escorting for security. These supplies were taken to these victims, reaching them before other rescue agencies were able to arrive with relief, and were gratefully received by many. Chief Foster remains actively involved in day-to-day policing, supporting his staff with respect and enthusiasm.

  Assistant Chief Richard Wingard has served in law enforcement for many years. He has also been very involved in the White Hall community, supporting numerous functions and efforts. He currently serves as 1st Vice President of the Arkansas Municipal Police Association, a state-wide organization, and will proceed as the President of A.M.P.A. in 2007.

  The White Hall Police Department encourages and enforces community safety, with no tolerance to crime. The diligence of officers insures that White Hall demonstrates a low crime rate, allowing residents to feel safe and comfortable living and raising their families here. We have maintained high standards in training, testing, and performance, which have assisted us in keeping a good reputation as an excellent provider of police services. Our officers feel that you and your family should experience safety while driving on our streets, working or shopping in our business areas, or playing around your home, without the fear of speeding and reckless drivers, or by being violated by other criminal activity. Our own families live, walk and drive here, and we want them protected as much as possible. If you see one of our police units with a violator pulled over, rest assured and remember that we are enforcing laws to protect you and your family, to maintain the safe atmosphere that we enjoy here in White Hall.

  Every year, the police officers look forward to coordinating with the efforts of the White Hall Police Officer's Association, a non-profit organization that supports the department. Together with many local businesses and individuals, a Policeman's Charity Ball is held that raises substantial funds for donation to charitable causes, such as food as clothing for the needy, support of a local boy scout troop, assistance with baseball and softball leagues, and many other programs for the youth of White Hall. The willingness to give to those in need from so many in White Hall and the surrounding areas is heart warming.

  The WHPD employs 12 full-time uniformed officers, with the assistance of 12 part-time officers, ensuring constant patrol and law enforcement. We have two office administrative assistants, who field calls promptly and efficiently, completing our dedication... TO SERVE AND PROTECT.

"Welcome to White Hall!"
