📈 Harding says the growing workload marks another major milestone for the program.

We’re excited to see everyone at the Arkansas DTF Conference this week!

Stop by and talk with our team about how HUDFL can support your department through digital forensics—from device extraction and analysis to hands-on training for your detectives.

We’ll see you there!

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the heroes who answered the call, and recognize the first responders who continue to serve our communities every day.

We will never forget.

We had the privelage of hosting a visit with members of the Morgan Nick Foundation specifically Colleen Nick, Morgan's Mother.

We enjoyed sharing our story and discussing the mission that connects our organizations. Both the Morgan Nick Foundation and HUDFL share a deep commitment to supporting law enforcement, serving Arkansas communities, and protecting those who are most vulnerable.

At HUDFL, training the next generation to serve law enforcement and communities across Arkansas, especially our rural communities, has always been at the forefront of our mission.

We are proud to add the Morgan Nick Foundation’s logo to our wall and even prouder to stand alongside them in the continued pursuit of justice for victims and their families.
