# Shydin Seahorn **PCSO staff member** who served as the **front-line PSN-grant administrative contact** during 2020-2021. Email `[email protected]`. Professional credentials per email signature: **BS, MBA, CPM** (Certified Public Manager). Routed PSN-grant correspondence between [[Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration — Office of Intergovernmental Services|DFA-IGS]] ([[Julie Shelby]], [[Kenya Buffington]]) and the County Judge's office / Grants Administration ([[Katie Hargis]], [[Barry Hyde]]). ## Role and affiliations - **PCSO staff**, [[Pulaski County Sheriff's Office]] - Front-line program contact for the federal [[Pulaski County PSN18 Grant Award (Contract 6228)|PSN18 grant]] ## Appearances in the corpus - **2020-02-19, 11:34 AM:** Forwarded the BJA-required PSN Addendum #1 (DHS/ICE Communications) from Julie Shelby (DFA-IGS) to Katie Hargis (County Grants Admin) for [[Barry Hyde|Judge Hyde]]'s signature: *"Good Morning Katie: Please have Judge Hyde sign this form. This is another required form for the PSN Grant that he has already reviewed and approved. Please sign it in Blue it then needs send me a copy and forward the original to: DFA-IGS Address For Mailed Documents... This form is due today so if you can assist me expediting it I will truly appreciate it. Thanks. Shydin I. Seahorn, BS, MBA, CPM."* - **2020-04-24:** Received Julie Shelby's update that DFA-IGS needed the Agency Certification, Approved Budget, and Acting Authorized Official designation forms to process the PSN18 Invoice 1. ## Notes - Seahorn's role was the PCSO-side grant-administration intermediary — translating DFA-IGS's grant-compliance requirements into PCSO and County actions. The role aligns with the kind of position a PCSO administrative staff member would hold: not a sworn officer but a non-sworn admin focused on grant management, financial reporting, and compliance. - Seahorn's MBA + CPM credentials are unusual on a public-sector LE administrative staff — they suggest a deliberate professional-management trajectory rather than a one-off grant-admin assignment. - The corpus does not document whether Seahorn continued at PCSO after 2021 or whether he was succeeded by [[Nina Jones]] in the financial-director role. - Seahorn's quoted email signature includes the motto *"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way - John C. Maxwell"* — a 21st-century LE-management aphorism.
