SHOW UP AT YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND SAY NO TO THIS IMPERSONATOR WORKING AT ARBYRD. WE DONT WANT FAKE COPS, WE NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN MAKE AN ARREST OR SHOOT A ROBBER IF THEY NEED TO. CALL YOUR SHERIFF AND TELL HIM ABOUT IT. CALL THE HIGHWAY PATROL AND REPORT THIS PERSON FOR IMPERSONATING AN OFFICER. CALL THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. MAKE SOME NOISE, DO NOT ELECT THIS IMPOSTER IN APRIL

It seems to me you are trying to start a bunch of crap. The first 9 post were you conversating with yourself. You know they say when you talk to yourself your okay. But when you start answer yourself. You need to check yourself in. So I hear Farmington is pretty good. You should consider checking it out.

[Hey new cop]

Why don't you watch the fools that work at the store go get high out in their cars and everyone else's cars too...now that is a place to start...it snows around them all the time

DOES EVERYONE KNOW THAT THE ARBYRD CHIEF OF POLICE IS REALLY NOT A COP. HE WAS APPOINTED BY ARBYRD TO FILL IN FOR JACK POWELL UNTIL THE ELECTION. DO NOT SHOW SUPPORT FOR THIS PERSON. HE IS NO BETTER THAN A SECURITY GUARD. HE CANNOT STOP VEHICLES. HE CANNOT MAKE ARRESTS. HE IS A LIABILITY TO THIS CITY. WE NEED REAL COPS TO WORK AT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. I THINK THIS IS CALLED IMPERSONATING A POLICE OFFICER.

Rules for Missouri Fourth-Class Cities
VII. Marshal Powers and Duties
Parenthetical numbers in the text refer to sections of the current Revised Statutes of Missouri, abbreviated as RSMo.
Selection and eligibility

Following approval by a majority of the voters, the board of aldermen may provide for the appointment of a police chief. If it doesn't, a city marshal shall be elected to a four-year term. The police chief or marshal may also be collector or a separate individual may be selected as collector (79.050). Chapter 79.050 also provides that "the marshal or chief of police shall be twenty-one years of age or older." Chapter 79.230 provides that the marshal may be appointed street commissioner.

The requirements for law enforcement training for fourth-class cities were significantly changed in 2001, when the Missouri General Assembly rewrote the law enforcement training rules (Ch. 590).

First, the new rules state that any person who has the power of arrest is a peace officer (590.010 (3)).
Second, any peace officer must hold a valid peace officer license (590.020 (1)).
Third, this license requires at least 470 hours of law enforcement training (590.040 (1)). The same statute provides that the Police Officers Standards and Training Commission (POST) may set this minimum as high as 600 hours with certain exceptions.
Exceptions to the licensing and training requirements — that once existed for communities with fewer than 2,000 people or for departments with fewer than five officers — have been repealed. However, officers commissioned under small community rules prior to Aug. 28, 2001, with continuous service since or those continuously commissioned since Dec. 31, 1978, may continue to serve (590.020 [4][6]).

Statutes for fourth-class cities still specify that the marshal shall have 120 hours of training. Training may be during the first six months of employment. The POST rules render these provisions inapplicable.

The POST training is financed by a training charge on citations issued by trained officers (590.178).

To issue or accept a peace officer commission without proper training is a Class B misdemeanor (590.195 (1)[2][3]).

Duties

The marshal or police chief and all officers he or she oversees are charged with enforcing the ordinances in force in the city. In addition, they are charged with enforcing state law within the city limits. Unless officers have been deputized by their county sheriff, which many are, their power to enforce normally stops at the city's limits (85.610).

Arrest powers

The marshal and officers may make arrests on warrants, sworn complaints or when an offense is committed or attempted in the officer's presence. This includes ordinance violations and violations of state law (85.610). Citations issued by city officers are heard in the city's municipal court for ordinance violations and the associate circuit court for state law violations (See VIII: Municipal Court).

we have one of the best marshall now then we ever had at least he is where he works instead in a bar drinking or chasing ho's or you can't find his ass unless he is with one other cop and he at CITY.

[thug]

none of them (cops) in arbyrd and cardwell really (cops). they're thugs in disguise! they are about as bad as the crackheads around there. Paragould (cops) are like hunters with fully automatic machineguns and spotlights. Somebody needs to rewrite the S.O.P. of law enforcement officers to include a leisurely drinking while on duty, and on how to sexually harass a lady in a positive and assertive manner.

[comic relief]

WHAT a BUNCH OF ASS CLOWNS!!!!

[dodo]

I see no use in having a cop anyway, Let them draw their money, Smith and Wesson is my cop.

[admitted drunk lowlife]

Gimme a badge, a gun, and a 12 pack and I'll go to work

[hey]

Wow you can always manage to know when it is the first of the month and all of the "check draw'ers" received their check to go and buy drugs and liquor. By the last couple of posting and grammar related articles, it sounds like closing time at the bar and someone is going home "alone" and they have nothing better to do than to bitch, moan and complain about anyone, anything and everything. Get a job, get to church, love your families and remember the good book teaches us to love thy neighbor. Quit hounding on these guys. They are never going to win a popular contest because of the job that they do. You can never please everyone. If you think that you can do better, save up some money, go to school and graduate from the academy. Everyone is an armchair quarterback anymore. You can't criticize an individual until you have walked a mile in their shoes. Instead of beating up and belittling people, stand up for what is right and make a positive change for this city.

[good guy]

hey d bags better quit bitching cause you could have jack r big bad james the jack ass stacey/langston

<quoted text>
you are wrong. mr.malone has no authority to detain anyone, look up your missouri law. mr.malone is an appointed supervisor, not a police chief. mr. malone has no police certification therefore is liable for civil lawsuit as is the city for employing someone like that. if you want a role model for your kid, ask the arbyrd mayor to employ a real police officer to run arbyrds department. and for your information, i overheard one of the local cops talking about mr.malone is the reason all of the arguing is going on.

Mr Malone has been a Dunklin County Transportation Officer for years. and then he wasnt anymore. I dont know why ;just the fact that he's no longer working for DC. The Mayor and City Council can't get certified Police Officers to work for them because they dont pay enough and have laws on the books that pervent certified officers to run for City Marshall unless they've been a resident of
Arbyrd for 1 full year. Since there is no affordable housing for a person being hired for police officer on low income pay.. The wheel goes round and round. Cant attract good employees without good pay and cant house them because there is no good housing available. and the wheel still goes round and round
