TRAVEL EXPENSE RECORDS REVEALS HYPOCRISY OF POLICE CHIEF KENTON TREMAR BUCKNER AND HIS FONDNESS FOR PRINGLES & HAAGEN DAZS - $14K SPENT ON LEADERSHIP LESSONS FUELS DEMAND FOR HIS AND CITY MANAGER BRUCE MOORE'S REMOVAL

PRINGLES & HAAGEN DAZS ARE BUCKNER'S TRAVEL COMFORT FOODS

Befouled LRPD Chief Kenton Tremar Buckner has racked up a whopping $43k in travel expenditures since he was hired in 2014 by City Manager Bruce Moore over the objections of many long time LRPD officers and concerned citizens.

The records reveal that Buckner often travels with overweight luggage and often does not obtain receipts for checking in his luggage or for taxi rides, instead providing a memo in which he provides an excuse for his lack of obtaining a receipt - he usually blames the taxi or shuttle driver. It's never his fault.











The records also show that he often has a late night snack in his room and with an alcoholic beverage.  He also appears to be fond of Pringles and Haagen Dazs ice cream.





Buckner attended a course at Harvard at the cost of over $14k to the citizens of Little Rock. The course was on Executive Leadership.



Surely Bruce Moore justified the questionable hiring of Buckner back in 2014 by finding he was already "leader", enough of one to head the Little Rock Police Department.  Why then was he sent to this school to learn how to be a leader?

CITY MANAGER BRUCE MOORE TOUTED BUCKNER'S EXPERTISE IN A 2015 ARTICLE

This is what Buckner had to say about his own abilities.



More than likely Buckner took the course to fluff up his resume so he would appear more attractive to his next employer. 

Hard to see how the curriculum would benefit the city or citizens of Little Rock.




What a foolish waste of public funds. But Moore is used to doing that.

Apparently Buckner uses the rank of General in addition to his title of chief.





 


And his attendance at a Mayor's Conference is just as questionable. While certainly not as extravagant and costly as the Harvard class, there no mention on the program of Buckner being a speaker and he is not a mayor.

 
Another shocking find was that Buckner, who has long questioned the need for the Little Rock Black Police Officer's Association ("BPOA"), has used our money to maintain memberships and attend conferences for the  National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives ("NOBLE") and the National Forum for Black Public Administrators ("NFBPA"). 

This is an example of why the BPOA, and most of Little Rock's citizens,  have little trust or respect for the hypocritical, befouled police chief.
  
Coming up, we will have more posts that detail additional reasons for the removal of Chief Buckner and his toady,  home-wrecking City Manager Bruce Moore.

Bryant High School teacher accused of sexual misconduct with a student

The Bryant Police Department confirms an on-going investigation of a now former Bryant teacher, Heather Danielle (Hall) Hare. Hare (age 32) has been accused of sexual contact with a student.  Hare was featured on ABC Good Morning America in May 2020 when a course she taught was discontinued during the pandemic. At this point no details of the alleged illegal conduct have been released. Earlier today the school district posted this on a Bryant Schools Facebook page. According to on-line school board records, Hare submitted her resignation effective April 1, 2023.     Hare is married and is a resident of Conway, AR. KATV featured the Hare family in another story on October 31, 2022. Stay tuned for updates. KTHV featured Hare's daughter in several newscasts . ### ***UPDATE 04/06/23*** Bryant PD provided us with their initial report dated March 31, 2023. ***UPDATE 04/07/23*** Sources report that the Bryant High School football player involved in an "entanglement"

ASP Trooper Jacob Haynie caught on his own mobile video recordings using the N-word

On November 21, 2023, after one of those questionable PIT maneuvers (the ASP now calls  Precision Immobilization Technique , or PIT maneuvers, Tactical Vehicle Intervention or TVI) ASP rookie trooper and former Hope Arkansas cop Jacob Haynie was caught on his and other ASP mobile video recordings using profanity and the N-word.   ASP policy prohibits the behavior and words Trooper Haynie uttered. That same policy also prohibits actions and behaviors that reflect unfavorably on the ASP. Haynie's wife works at the Hempstead County Assessors office. Wonder if she uses that language at work too?  ### The full videos can be viewed on many of the YouTube Channels that feature ASP videos.  A follower of one channel identifies Haynie as the one uttering the words. Apparently that individual knows Haynie and might have worked with him at Hope PD. ASP claims no one said the words "climb" or "N***a" and the trooper using the fowl language was actually Tyler Gentry. Ri

Three LRPD cops "relieved of duty" over incident at Club Trois

Sources at LRPD have confirmed a tip we received that three LRPD cops, Brad Stewart, Lee Pitts and Justin Sims have been "relieved of duty" in connection with an incident at Club Trois. The story we were told is that Stewart was working off-duty at Club Trois and dealt with an inebriated female club patron by soaking her with pepper spray.  LRPD General Order  ("G.O.") 303 requires that a cop that uses physical force, non-lethal control and compliance devices, on or off-duty, follow certain procedures. Use of pepper spray is a Level 4 event. Here are the specific procedures. LRPD sources tell us that they are trained to call MEMS after they use pepper spray or a taser on an individual. They are to file an incident report and they file an officer's report or letter form (5600-2) with their immediate supervisor for each use of force incident. Here's an example of an officer letter form.   Not a single procedure was followed in this incident. And to make matter
