School Resource Officer Mindy Fowler
School Resource Officer Mindy Fowler has been in law enforcement for 27 years and been in Pea Ridge for one year.
“What I like most about working in Pea Ridge is the supportive, tight knit community, both the town and school,” Fowler said.
“My favorite two things about working as a law enforcement officer are meeting new people and that no two days are alike.”
A native of northwest Arkansas, Officer Fowler has spent her entire career working in law enforcement in Benton County.
“During this time, I’ve earned my senior law enforcement certificate and a business degree. I’ve worked in many different roles as a law enforcement officer including: patrol, K-9 handler, patrol sergeant, detective, instructor, violence prevention/personal self-defense and school resource officer. On my time off I enjoy spending time with family, football, camping, mountain biking and anything else outdoors (fishing, hunting, kayaking, etc.).”
“Transitioning to Pea Ridge has been a great experience. From my police family to my school family, to the citizens of this great little town — I am happy to be a part of this awesome community.”
