“I remember…he always had the desire to be a Pine Bluff police officer. And he got his opportunity on June 8, 2015. And I will say when he raised his hand and swore to do his job, he became an excellent police officer for the Pine Bluff Police Department.

This young man, once assigned to the Violent Crimes Unit, would work day in and day out to come out and try to arrest individuals that were involved in violent crimes within our community.”

According to the Pine Bluff Commercial, Collins was a community favorite as a police officer.

He served time as a mentor to at-risk youth in the community through the agency’s Youth Empowerment Camp. He was also honored with the Officer of the Year award in 2017. He received this award for his successful attempt at saving a 95-year-old man in from an apartment fire.

When Officer Collins received the Officer of the Year Award, Collins told the

Pine Bluff Commercial:

“I always wanted to be a police officer. Ever since I was little. I saw law enforcement as a service and something I could be proud of…

“When I took on the challenge of being a police officer, someone extended a lifeline to me. Some of those lines I pulled on are in this room tonight and I truly thank you.

“As I was pushed into my purpose as a police officer it was either sink or swim. Thank God I chose to swim, so it seems second nature to me and my fellow officers to extend the life line to save others.”
