Hi everyone!!!

My boyfriend and I both got amazing job offers that have us moving to Fort Smith!

We found a house that we really like with Investors Property Management but the company is very unresponsive to emails or online inquiries. Before we even applied or signed a lease with them, I wanted to see if other people have had good or bad experiences with them and wouldn’t mind sharing!

Thanks in advanced!!! 😊

FSPD Terminates Six Officers Following Internal Investigation into Hazing and Misconduct

Fort Smith, AR - On Dec. 10, 2024, investigators with the Fort Smith Police Department (FSPD) Office of Professional Standards were made aware of alleged hazing, belittling, and dangerous "horseplay" by certain officers assigned to the night shift Patrol. Chief Danny Baker immediately ordered an internal investigation, which uncovered a pattern of serious misconduct involving potentially criminal acts, hazardous behavior, and harassment of newer officers.

The investigation revealed that several officers repeatedly pointed loaded firearms at fellow officers and "spark tested" Tasers in a threatening manner, creating the perception that others might be shocked. Additionally, the same group of officers engaged in hazing, including name-calling and threats to withhold backup in dangerous situations if others refused to comply with their behavior.

A total of six officers were found to have participated in these egregious actions, with three initially being untruthful during the investigation. On Jan. 2 and 3, 2025, the following individuals were terminated for a range of sustained Civil Service Rules violations:

• Rodrigo Roque
• Michael D'Agostino
• Danny Nacalaban
• Seth Dominic
• Johnne Le
• Dalton Tucker

None of the officers who were victims of having firearms pointed at them have chosen to pursue criminal charges at this time. However, the Department will request the decertification of these former officers with the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Training (CLEST).

Following the terminations, Chief Baker addressed the entire department, emphasizing the importance of accountability and encouraging employees to report misconduct.

"I am deeply troubled that this was going on and I apologize to those of you who had to endure it," Chief Baker stated. "The actions of these former officers do not and will not represent the culture and environment of the Fort Smith Police Department as long as I am the Chief of Police. Don’t be afraid to speak up if you witness or experience bad behavior by anyone in this organization. Duty to Intervene doesn’t stop on the street. That duty extends to your fellow officers and employees as well."

The Fort Smith Police Department is steadfast in its commitment to fostering a culture of accountability, wellness, and trust. To reinforce these values, the Department implemented Citizen Satisfaction Surveys for each callout and Quarterly Employee Wellness surveys in November 2023. These tools are designed to identify and address potential concerns as they arise, ensuring that both the public and our officers have the support they deserve.

We especially want to acknowledge and thank the individuals who came forward for the trust they have placed in their Administration to take swift and decisive action against these behaviors. Their courage demonstrates the very principles of integrity and accountability that define the Fort Smith Police Department.

Hi there everyone!!

Me and my boyfriend both received job offers and with that we’re potentially moving to Fort Smith. We currently live in DFW Texas and we really don’t know much about where we could potentially live soon.

Pleaseeee give us some tips and tricks, areas to stay away from, fun things to do, places to go (etc)

Also we’ve run into a lot of rental houses that don’t allow big dogs, is that like an Arkansas thing orrr?

Thank you guys so much in advanced!! 😊

EDIT: thank you guys so much for all the replies!! It’s helped us a lot! Our company is opening up a new location but we prefer not to disclose anymore information than that! Thanks again 😁

Don’t know much about this place. Website says 501(c)3 but can’t find it on IRS and Secretary of State says “Not in Good Standing”. Should I donate each of year funds here. What have you heard good or bad.
