A Message from the President

Thank you for visiting our web site and your interest in the Arkansas State Police Foundation.  We are so very fortunate to have many extraordinary business and industry leaders, as well as outstanding individuals, supporting the mission of the Foundation.  These supporters are successful in their personal and professional lives because they know success is not about ‘I’ or ‘me’ but because of a true team approach – a team committed to a vision and mission.

The Arkansas State Police is an elite law enforcement agency and the ASP team works tirelessly to ensure our state is always safe – 24/7.  Like our supporters, it is never about ‘I’ or ‘me.’  It is about working together to get the work done and, often, that work involves dangerous situations.  Every member of the ASP team is truly committed to the ASP  mission of keeping all Arkansas’ citizens safe no matter the risks involved.

The Arkansas State Police Foundation’s sole purpose is to assist the ASP in fulfilling its mission, but we cannot do it without your help.  At a time when the needs of the State Police far exceed the state provided resources, we ask you to join with the Foundation by providing financial assistance to enable the work of the Foundation to continue.  We also need your wise counsel and time to help us spread the message of the work of the Foundation.

Currently, the Foundation is focusing on fundraising to support our scholarship program. We recognize the critical importance of higher education for our young people and understand the rising cost. To help our ASP family, the ASP Foundation Randy and Betty Hedge Spouses’ Auxiliary Scholarship Fund was created in 2020 to provide financial assistance to ASP Troopers’ and Auxiliary members’ dependents.

Please know we value your assistance and look forward to visiting with you about how you can be involved in our work.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

– Elizabeth Anderson, President
