For future reference, you can read the gov't tort claim act for arkansas.
I looked, but didn't find the ark code annotated online, just in pdf.
In there somewhere is a 'risk management' office that you file claims with.
But the cop didn't 'damage' you.
The corporation did. (their agent slandered you, too)
For that you gotta sue.
The course for that is $250, but if you use my referral code, I should get some of it.

In OK we have oscn.net and odcr.com, they sure make things easier here.
In washington will be something similar, but the statute of limitations is likely out.
Only certain crimes get more than 3 years, and most civil claims expire in 1 or 2.

If you think you will get charged, and want to prepare, I got links that will be less expensive than a lawyer and more likely to succeed.
You gotta work, but knowing what to do is good stuff.
