Arkoma Police Department

The Arkoma Police Department would like to thank the Pocola Police Department and LeFlore County Sheriff’s Office for helping cover calls this week in our time of grief.

The department lost our biggest supporter and volunteer. As well as a mother figure to many officers. Assistant Chief Speaks’ mother, Rhonda Speaks went to be with the Lord on Tuesday and will be laid to rest today.

Please keep Assistant Chief Speaks and her younger sister in your prayers, along with our department as we all grieve and stand with our sister.

Arkoma Police Department would like to thank the following agencies for helping with the DUI reenactment today. We couldn’t have done it without you. It took each and every agency doing their job and working as one big team, just like we do everyday on the job.

Air Evac (Fort Smith base)
LeFlore County EMS Medic 5
Mallory-Martin Funeral Home (Spiro)
Pocola Fire Department
Pocola Police Department
Wilson’s Wrecker

We would like to give an even bigger thank you to Arkoma Public Schools for allowing us to do this and bringing the high school students to watch.

This event was put on to help bring awareness to drinking and driving, being high and driving, and the importance of wearing your seatbelt. And what the consequences are if you chose to get intoxicated and drive or not wear your seatbelt.

We wish all of Arkoma High School students a safe and fun prom! Have fun kids and make smart choices!
