One of the oldest working police officers is a 91-year-old Arkansas man



CAMDEN, Arkansas — The Camden Police Department is home to the oldest working police officer in Arkansas and one of the oldest in the country.

91-year-old L.C. "Buckshot" Smith has worked for Camden police for almost 10 years.

"I feel like, I live longer at my age to keep on working," Buckshot said. "A lot of people my age and younger will tell you they wish they had kept working.”

Buckshot worked for the Ouachita County Sheriff's Office for more than 46 years. He came out of retirement after just four months to work for the Camden Police Department. He was born and raised just outside the city.
