Speaking of campaigns heating up...

The Arkansas Police Benevolent Association is in town interviewing all legislative candidates in the area on issues such as death and disability benefits for officers injured/killed in the line of duty. There's also talk of the Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights being amended this session (Ark. Code Ann. §14-52-301 et seq).

Such an issue is likely to throw a wedge between law enforcement officers on the street and organizations like the Police Chiefs Association, the Sheriffs Association, and possibly even the Municipal League. Could make for an interesting debate.
