Where do LRPD take-home vehicles go? - Episode 50: Capt. Russell King

Mercenary LRPD Officer Russell King drives an unmarked vehicle to his home in Faulkner County

 
Russell Daniel King - one of the almost 80% of white LRPD officers that refuse to live in the city of Little Rock due to crime and schools


King's voter registration has lapsed as the last time he voted was in the 2016 election cycle when he voted as a Republican. 





In 2018 we spent $2,109.27 on fuel for Kings's take-home vehicle.



In 2017 we spent $1,871.54 on fuel for Kings's take-home vehicle.


LRPD and the city of Little Rock refused to provide us information regarding the city where the take-home cars go. So much for being transparent and open.

They provided it last year and you can read our post about that by clicking here.
Since they refuse to provide the information (the take home city is what we requested), we will post where these vehicles are actually going (their address which was not requested and is exempt under the AFOIA) and how much we pay for the fuel to provide transportation for these officers to drive to and from their homes each day.

More than half of all LRPD officers refuse to live in the city of Little Rock and be a true part of our community. Those are mercenary officers.



Many LRPD officers that have take-home vehicles use them to drive to and from off-duty jobs where they moonlight at security for merchants and direct traffic at churches on Sundays.


We believe this violates certain state laws and will be filing complaints with the Arkansas Ethics Commission concerning this illegal activity.


All the information used in this post is public information, readily available from the internet or from a Freedom of Information Request.   We used the interwebs in this instance.

King has been suspended twice for wrecking a LRPD vehicle.







 

In both incidents, King was allowed to take vacation days instead of being suspended without pay. A clear case of White Privilege.



King's personnel file makes reference to internal investigation files.
