“I am a resident of Lonoke County and the county residents NEED and DESERVE the honesty and ability that Larry Behnke will bring to the Sheriff position. I worked with Larry Behnke for many years and personally observed his dedication to law enforcement and honesty in his position”.

 

As a Retired Sheriff’s Office Division Commander with 35 years of Service, you develop a strong sense of your peers. Those who consider “Service to Community” a calling and those who see it as simply a job. Larry Behnke knows what it means to have servant’s heart. Having traveled the Country training Peace Officers with him, I know he cares. Larry Behnke cares about the men and women he leads and those he serves. The people of Lonoke County could not ask for a better man to serve them and their families as Sheriff.

“I have known Larry Behnke for more than 25 years. His knowledge and skills as a law enforcement officer are unmatched. Larry is a true professional, someone who can always be counted on to do what is fair, just and right. The citizens of Lonoke County will be in awe of the amazing job Larry will do as their Sheriff!!”

Mr. Robert Darr

 

“I served with Larry during his time with the Army National Guard.  I refer to Larry as a friend, an inspiration to young Soldiers, and a model for future NCOs in the Army.  I appreciate Larry’s attention to detail as a Leader but most importantly, I appreciate his honesty and candid attitude when addressing his subordinates.”

Randy Adams

“I have known Larry for a long time. I’ve been through a lot with him and operated under many levels / varieties of stress. He is a solid decision maker, a hell of a police officer, and a good friend. He has my full endorsement.”

Captain Steve Chamness

NLRPD Professional Development Division Commander

Special Operations Commander

 

I served under Larry as a squad leader in the Arkansas Army National Guard and also served alongside him as a Training Sgt. and SWAT Team Leader in law enforcement, although with a different and neighboring agency. Larry is one of the best leaders I have ever known and his INTEGRITY is beyond reproach. Larry has “been there, done that” and it would be a shame to let that talent pass by the citizens of Lonoke County. I am a proud resident of Cabot and Lonoke County. The knowledge and training that Larry has had will be a HUGE benefit to the deputies in this county. Larry Behnke will be the Sheriff for ALL of Lonoke County!
