Harrison Police Department

🚨 SLOW DOWN. SOMEONE IS WAITING FOR YOU TO COME HOME. 🚨

Speeding doesn't just increase your chances of getting a ticket—it increases the chances of changing someone's life forever.

Every time you press the accelerator a little harder than you should, ask yourself one simple question:

Is saving a few seconds worth risking a lifetime of regret?

The car next to you may be carrying a young family on their way to dinner. The vehicle ahead could be a teenager driving home from work. The person crossing the street may be someone's parent, grandparent, or best friend. Every person you pass has loved ones expecting them home safely.

Beginning Friday, July 10th, the Harrison Police Department will join law enforcement agencies across the State of Arkansas for the National Speed Mobilization, which runs through July 31st. This high-visibility traffic enforcement campaign is focused on reducing speeding, encouraging safer driving habits, and preventing needless crashes and fatalities.
