WHERE DO ALL THE LRPD TAKE-HOME VEHICLES GO? - EPISODE 15: OFFICER RICHARD HILGEMAN

OFFICER ERNEST RICHARD HILGEMAN DRIVE AN UNMARKED CAR HOME TO NLR




In 2018 we spent $1,047.91 on fuel for Hilgeman's take-home vehicle.




In 2017 we spent $1,371,29 on fuel for Hilgeman's take-home vehicle.



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





Many LRPD officers 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 Sundays.

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.

We have posted about Hilgeman before. You can read those post by clicking here and here.

Hilgeman was suspended back in 2010 for slamming his vehicle into the rear end of another vehicle. That's an offense of following too closely. Bet he didn't get a ticket.




Hilgeman was arrested and charged with driving with no tags back in 2001 in Faulkner County.
