Quick answers to common questions about payments, reports, patrol requests, visitation, and more.
You can pay online through the county payment portal, mail a check or money order to PO Box 647, Newport, AR 72112, or pay in person at 3300 Theater Drive during administrative hours. Have your citation number ready.
Submit a records request in person or by phone at (870) 523-5842. Reports are released in accordance with the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act; copy fees may apply.
Use the Extra Patrol Request form on the Services & Forms page for any non-emergency, ongoing concern or for community events needing security.
Visitation is scheduled by housing unit. Call the office for current days and hours. Visitors must present valid photo identification and are subject to search.
