Steven A Coppinger

Steven A. Coppinger, a Californian by birth but a life-long resident of Arkansas, retired as a Captain from the Arkansas State Police (ASP) in 2019.

Coppinger earned his Master of Science degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Cincinnati in 2009, and his Bachelor of Arts degree, with a major in Criminal Justice, from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville in 1988. A 1980 graduate of Van Buren Senior High School in Van Buren, Arkansas, he grew up in Kibler; a small Southern town in Crawford County, Arkansas.

Steven and his wife, Peppi, and their two grown sons Brent, and Max, reside in Fayetteville, Arkansas. As a retiree, Steven spends most of his free time reading, engaging in genealogical research, traveling, and, when the weather is cooperative, cruising Beaver Lake onboard his boat, the Biba Dushi.
