The Rogers Police Department extends our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Captain Chris Kelley following his tragic passing while off duty.

The loss of a law enforcement officer is felt far beyond the boundaries of a single agency. It impacts an entire profession committed to serving and protecting others. Today, we stand alongside all who knew and loved Captain Kelley as they grieve this tremendous loss.

We ask our community to keep Captain Kelley’s loved ones, fellow officers, and all those affected in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Captain Chris Kelley. Your service, leadership, and dedication will not be forgotten. 💙🖤

Our law enforcement family is mourning the loss of a truly remarkable man.

After many years of dedicated service, Chris Kelley, a longtime Deputy Sheriff with the Benton County Sheriff's Office, (Reserve Lieutenant), and Captain with the Centerton Police Department, has passed away.

He was more than a badge and a uniform. He was a respected leader, a trusted mentor, a loyal friend, a devoted husband, and a servant to his community. His kindness, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to others left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

He led with integrity, treated people with respect, and earned the admiration of colleagues, friends, and community members alike. His legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched throughout his career and beyond.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who served alongside him during this difficult time.

Thank you for your service, your friendship, and the example you set for so many. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Rest easy, brother. We have the watch from here.

🚴‍♂️🍦 Bike Safety Just Got a Little Sweeter! 🍦🚴‍♀️

The Rogers Police Department is excited to partner with Chick-fil-A this summer to promote bicycle safety on our local trails!

If one of our bike officers spots a child riding with proper safety gear — including a helmet — they may receive a coupon for a FREE dessert from Chick-fil-A, while supplies last.

We want to encourage everyone to stay safe, have fun, and enjoy the trails responsibly this summer. Parents, help us remind young riders that wearing the right safety gear can make all the difference.

Thank you to Chick-fil-A for helping us support safe summer riding in our community! 🚲☀️
