Colonel Hagar's Controversial Pursuit Policies
from Little Rock News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Today!
Colonel Mike Hagar, Arkansas State Police director, is under fire for his department’s pursuit tactics—downed pursuits but upped ramming incidents—despite claiming they’re vital for public safety. Critics question the approach, especially after tragic outcomes like a child in a rammed SUV, yet Hagar insists policies won’t change, calling such events isolated mistakes. With nearly 30 years as a trooper and a legacy of expanding divisions and boosting arrests and pay, Hagar remains a polarizing but respected leader, even as controversies swirl around racist texts and trooper misconduct. He’s focused on leaving a safety-first legacy—not headlines. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
