Take a look into a LRPD sexual offender/predator investigation

  Most all of us have watched police television shows or movies that deal with police investigations, including ones involving teachers having a sexual relationship with minor students. Not everything that you see on these police televisions shows or movies depicts how police investigations are actually conducted. To help you understand how the Little Rock Police Department conducts these investigations, we will show you how they put a file together that goes to the Prosecuting Attorney. We will use records we obtained for a series of stories we published about a Pulaski County Special School District teacher that groomed and exploited one of her minor students into sexual encounters.          If you find this type of story interesting, you will be excited to know that we plan on having similar stories that deal with a homicide investigation and an officer shooting investigaton in the safe city of Little Rock.

  We discovered that a convicted sex offender named David Dwayne Williams, that uses the alias Rakim Farrakhan, had bragged about beating a LRPF cop's ass and taking his badge (#1275) back in March of 2024. In 2019, we had great difficutly in obtaining records from LRPD regarding badge numbers.   After many excuses - LRPD claimed the computer that had the record of badges assigned to LRPD cops had crashed and existing records were not complete - LRPD provided us with some badges numbers  and in those records it shows that badge number 1275 was assigned to Jordan Allen. Allen was assigned to SW Patrol. Based on available records, Allen appears to have ended his employment with LRPD in 2023.     Allen would have turned in all his LRPD issued equipment upon his resignation.   We sent a FOI request to LRPD about badge #1275 and LRPD has no record about it being lost, missing or stolen.   They also did not provide any records about it being reissued to anot...
