City of Rogers, Arkansas

Meet Officer Don Lisi. Don is new to his role as the Public Information Officer for the Rogers Police Department, but is already a familiar face in Rogers. In fact, he was born and raised in Rogers, graduating from Rogers High School. Afterwards, he played baseball in college and was a college pitching coach for a few years. How did he end up at the Rogers Police Department you ask? He just walked in. Don decided he wanted to be an officer, walked into RPD and conveniently ran into a former school resource officer that he knew from when he was young. They walked through the application process and the rest is history. He has done patrol, worked in the Training Division, and is instrumental in keeping the department’s accreditation up to date. Now, he is excited about this new role of media relations, social media management, and community events. Don is married with two young daughters. The family enjoys hiking and Jiu Jitsu. Don is also huge into bow hunting and fly fishing. If you ever need to keep a conversation going, ask him about the fly rods he builds! There is a good chance you will see Officer Lisi at a community event or on the local news. If you get a chance to meet him, make sure and say hello. We’re glad to have you as part of #OurTeamRogersAR, Officer Lisi! #RogersArkansas #WherePossibleLives

Tree topping is never a good idea and can cause long-term damage to your trees. Topping is the severe cutting back from the top or side of a tree, resulting in the rapid growth of shoots or sprouts. It can make the tree more vulnerable to disease and structural failure and may often lead to the premature death of the tree. If tree service companies have approached you and suggested tree topping, we strongly advise you to think twice. Protect your trees and maintain the health of our community's green spaces.
