Records from state agency show LRPD is desperate for personnel and will hire anyone without a felony conviction

In May of last year we broke the story about two LRPD cops that were involved in a romantic relationship that errupted into domestic violence. You can read about that here and here.

Even more disturbing than the domestice violence, was the psychological state (suicidal) of one of the cops. Having an armed cop that is mentally unstable poses a danger to themselves and others is completely unacceptable. Not acting on information about that is criminal.

The Scott Administration LRPD tried to keep it all a secret, but their ineptitude prevented that.

LRPD recommended to the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Training ("CLEST"), that they strip Jakari Lott-Henderson and Desidario Pullie of their law enforcement credentials when they allowed them to resign early last year.

CLEST did exactly that this past week for Jakari Lott-Henderson. Desidario Pullie was decertifed in July of 2024 as he did not contest the CLEST decertification as Lott-Henderson did.

LRPD assistant chief Andre Dyer told CLEST commissioners that LRPD allowed Lott-Henderson (and Pullie) to resign instead being fired because the department allows cops to resign to help them find a new job. Dyer said that was "an olive branch". He was quick to add that "it doesn't mean the fired officer should work in law forcement again".

Fired officer? What a Freudian slip.

Dyer stated, "I have no idea how she made it through the academy...she should not have but she did". Then Dyer said, "There is no way that Cheif Helton or anyone form the cheif's office, would want any other law enforcement agency to deal woth somebody like Ms. Lott-Henderson".

Cops like her should be fired and not allowed to resign. If LRPD was not corrupt, they would be doing exactly that, but instead they offer an olive branch to them and let them slip away and keep their investigation into them a secret.

Dyer's boss, LRPD Chief Health Helton is one of the CLEST commissioners.

The reason she made it through the LRPD recruit school is that LRPD is so desperate for cops that they will take anyone that does not have a felony conviction.

Take a look at most all LRPD cops (and we have, we have all their files), they are uneducated and most worked at a fast food restaurant or retail store before joining.

The $10,000 signing bonus draws the shitty applicants in like flies. Toss in the possibility of a take home vehicle as icing on the cake. Free meals when on duty and other grifting perks are mentioned and the hook is set.

Dyer and others in LRPD administration have no problems with the 75 LRPD cops branded as Brady Cops for their lack of credibility/dishonesty. Those cops need to be fired or given an olive branch resignation.
