We are pleased to introduce “WTF“, the newest column here at the Fayetteville Flyer.
Ever been driving around town and noticed something truly confusing? Maybe it’s a new business or a weird-looking sign you’ve never noticed before. Hell, maybe it’s some random guy dressed up like Uncle Sam standing in front of Hardee’s on College Avenue (true story).
Whatever the oddity, we at the Fayetteville Flyer need your help in solving these mysteries. Together we can put some of the most burning local questions to rest. Who needs Meghan Dill when you’ve got an entire team of blog-reading, gumshoe enthusiasts?
Our first WTF is over off of Wedington next to the I-540 intersection. It’s called “Ozark Cop Shop” and we have no clue as to what’s inside. Is it a shop for cops? Is it a cop-related apparel store? Can you actually purchase/rent your own personal FPD officer?
Help us help you, Fayetteville. WTF is the Ozark Cop Shop?!

Holy crap! I thought this place didn’t exist anymore. It used to be in that little shipping center on the corner of Gregg and Township. We need to check it out. Maybe buy a gun and some badges.

Did you ever go inside? WTF is it, dude?

I have no idea. Donut shop?
January 7th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
There is a donut shop close by. Hmm…

If it’s a donut shop, it’s in direct competition with the business next door: The Royal Donut Company.

maybe it is where you can get rent-a-cops?
January 7th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
rent-a-cops… and donuts… and guns. At least that’s what I’m hoping.

It sells items that policemen need. Scanners, uniforms, utility belts etc. It also has novelty items like “Parking for Policemen Only” you know wacky stuff.

i bet they’ll never get robbed.
January 7th, 2008 at 5:46 pm

Lacy: You mean to tell me that policemen have to buy their own gear? Here’s hoping that if I ever get arrested, it’s by a police officer that bought some cheap-ass, re-furbished handcuffs on sale at Ozark Cop Shop.

Maybe it is where they sell all the shit that they took from people like garbage bags of weed and such. Given all the meth labs in the area, there is probably a steady supply of second hand Drano and Nyquil to be had for any dealseekers out there.
I have to say that I would prefer a Fireman Shop or, better yet, a Fireman Restaurant. Those dudes can cook up some serious pancakes and chili.

I take it that WTF stands for “what the F*%K”,now then,if you really want too know what’s inside the Cop Shop ,just Walk Inside The Store.or has nobody thought of that yet?.just wondering,(paranoid mabey)? the store has some cool stuff.
Later.

They sell guns and ammo too. They don’t have donuts but they do have cookies and coffee. They also do concealed carry classes for anyone interested and protection info for women. They sell uniforms and gear to law enforcement as well as firefighters, emt people. They are highly trained in protection and their aim is excellent so I wouldn’t advise even making an attempt to rob them.
