SUMMARY: Jonesboro faces a significant loss with the unexpected resignations of Police Chief Todd KO and Assistant Chief Audrey Dunlap, leaving the already understaffed department of nine officers, down from a budgeted 24. Mayor Da Sorter expressed disappointment, praising KO’s contributions over his brief tenure and acknowledging the challenges the department faces amid ongoing turnover. Dunlap’s resignation letter hinted at a lack of mutual trust and respect in the environment. Critics are alarmed at the department’s instability, especially following multiple firings in 2023. The city is actively recruiting, offering $7,500 bonuses for new hires to bolster the force.

The city of Jonesboro is dealing with two law enforcement resignations. In a surprise announcement, both the chief and the assistant chief resigned their post leaving a gaping hole in an already short-staffed department.
