Whether it is fighting fraud or representing Arkansas in a court of law, the Office of Attorney General Dustin McDaniel is committed to protecting and defending the interests of all Arkansans.

The Attorney General is charged with many duties under Arkansas law. He is the state's top law enforcement officer and its chief consumer advocate. Broadly, his duties include the following:

  • Representing most state agencies, boards and commissions in courts of law;
  • Advocating for citizens with regard to environment, utilities, antitrust and consumer protection issues;
  • Providing opinions on legal issues presented by legislators, prosecutors and heads of state agencies;
  • Pursuing civil remedies on behalf of the Arkansas Medicaid Program for fraud and neglect; and
  • Handling all criminal appeals and habeas corpus matters on behalf of the state.

In addition to these specific duties, the Attorney General's Community Relations Department administers several public service programs, including:

  • The Crime Victims Reparations Program, which assists victims of crime by providing financial assistance to eligible individuals or their dependents;
  • Educational programs, such as "Smart Choices, Better Chances," a juvenile law-education program, and "Keys to Safety," a guide to online safety, child abduction, and runaway issues; and
  • The Arkansas Missing Children Services Program (AMCSP), which works to protect the children of our state by serving as a statewide clearinghouse for missing-and-exploited children. The program assists in the recovery of missing children and educates the public about child-safety issues. AMCSP also serves as the main point of contact between the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and nonprofit, missing-children organizations in the state.

Serving Arkansans and their families is among our highest priorities, and we invite you to explore this Web site to learn more about how we can help you.
