WHERE DO THE LRPD TAKE-HOME VEHICLES GO? - EPISODE 6: OFFICER ERIC BARNES

OFFICER ERIC SHANE BARNES HAS AN UNMARKED TAKE-HOME CAR



It cost us $746.44 for fuel for Barnes' take-home vehicle in 2018. Barnes is one of the public information officers for LRPD.



LRPD and the city of Little Rock refused to provide us information regarding 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. 



Barnes was involved in a shooting back in November 2013.



Many LRPD officer 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 Sunday's.

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.
