The Arkansas Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission Proudly Honors our very own Commissioner, Officer Carmen Helton during Police Appreciation Week.

Officer Carmen Helton is the recruiting coordinator for the North Little Rock Police Department. we honor her today for her work with youth. She is a mentor and started the North Little Rock Police Department Youth Summer Camp in 2016. The camp has seen growth ever since. She consistently receives letters of appreciation from civilians and has participated in over 1700 hours of law enforcement training.

She utilizes social media platforms to positively promote the city of north little rock, the police department and community interactions. In 2017, she started the pink patch program to show the department’s support for breast cancer awareness and she is a member of the Fraternal Order of police. In her spare time (if you believe she has any), she volunteers with the United Cerebral Palsy, Special Olympics, and the Parent Teacher Council of Pulaski Academy. Dr. King has a sermon called “the drum major instinct.” The Drum Major is a leader who is selfless, dedicated and always willing to help others discover their true purpose and calling. during police appreciation week, we, the Arkansas Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission, are proud to honor a North Little Rock hero. She serves as a Commissioner for Arkansas’ second congressional district.

It is an honor for the Arkansas MLK Commission to present the 2019 Drum Major for Leadership Award to Officer Carmen Helton as we salute the brave heroes in blue during Police Appreciation Week.
