Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott Jr. this month announced that he plans to reduce the number of officer vacancies in the Little Rock Police Department by about 40% by the end of the year, which would bring relief to a department that has suffered from staffing shortages like other agencies in the state and nation.

Divisions across the Little Rock Police Department will experience a shakeup of the chain of command under a reorganization plan to be implemented next month, members of the Little Rock Board of Directors were told during a meeting on Tuesday.
