LRPD drops quarterly community meetings and will only meet with citizens twice a year

LRPD "Chief Keef" Humphrey
In a shocking and disturbing move, the Little Rock Police Department moves towards less transparency and interaction with citizens by announcing it drops quarterly meetings in favor in semiannual ones.




News of this prompted one citizen to contact her city board representative and express grave concerns.


The first homicide of 2020 occurred in West Little Rock on January 6th (Ward 6) as did a double shooting on January 7th (Ward 5).

Both of these violent crimes are making white folks in their WLR neighborhoods very nervous.
 

Apparently LRPD did not provide this information to city leadership as they were caught off guard.



We reached out to Ward 5 Director Hines and he advised us that he and other board members were trying to find out why they were not notified. Hines made reference to the email from one of his constituents  and echoed her concerns.

We also spoke with Ward 6 Director Doris Wright and she stated that they (LRPD) had mentioned to her they were going to try something different and refused to make any other comments when asked what she thought about the idea. {Note - It must be pointed out that the publisher of this blog is a resident of Ward 6 and for his Ward representative on the board to not express outrage or the least concern was noted}.

We attempted to contact the mayor or a member of his staff but were not able to reach anyone.  We might try to catch him at Copper Grill at happy hour later today.
 
Citizens in Little Rock are seriously questioning how LRPD can claim we have any type of community policing when most all LRPD officers refuse to live in the city that employs them. 

Around 70% of all LRPD officers live outside the city. 80% of all white LRPD officers refuse to live in the city that employs them.

Add that to the long list of LRPD officers that have issues with credibility and honesty and you see why citizens have serious concerns.

Stay tuned for updates.
