LRPD lost right to use the OK (Our Kids) Program in September 2023 but are still touting it.

On September 12, 2023, Donald Northcross, the founder and CEO of the OK Program told the Little Rock Police Department that the OK Program of Little Rock operated by LRPD was being discontinued. Northcross also told LRPD they could not operate on any Little Rock School District campus as the OK Program.

 

The disenfranchisement of the LRPD OK Program had it's start with a verbal argument between Northcross and LRPD cop Brad Stewart about how Stewart was or was not correctly conducting the OK Program at Cloverdale Middle School.

It did not help matters that LRPD had refused several requests to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the National OK Program and LRPD.

Instead of complying, LRPD continues to use the OK Program and to this day still has it own their website.

They are planning on simply changing the name of the program and stealing the intellectual property rights of the National OK Program in the process. Here's the proof in their own words.


For months we attempted to obtain these records, records that the Scott Administration refused to provided and actually claimed did not exist. 

It took the ultimatum of another FOI lawsuit (and a glimpse of records that we had obtained elsewhere that referenced the records we sought and were going to use as exhibits) against the Scott Administration to get them to finally turn over the records. 

They provided the records and we posted them on social media.

That got a response from the individual that is involved in the operation of the only sanctioned OK Program (Pulaski County Sheriff's Office) in the Pulaski County area.

 


Sources tell us that the reason LRPD did not sign that MOU was that the LRPD OK Program would fall under the oversight of PCSO Sgt. Willie Davis, to ensure that LRPD maintained the standards of the National OK Program. 

Sgt.Davis was to look at how LRPD operated the OK Program from above, but not to get involved in its day-to-day operations.

The corrupt Scott Administration must be held accountable for this intellectual property theft by its police department.
