I'm Frank Gilbert, and I'm your Constable

I have been sworn in and have begun my service as Constable of Big Rock Township (Pulaski County south of the Arkansas River).  It is my sincere desire to conduct myself in a way that will be pleasing to both my constituents and my God. Your prayers and support are sincerely requested.

Let me encourage you to contact me at any time if you need my help or wish to be of help by calling 501 204-0425.

As Big Rock Constable, I meet with and listen to anyone or any group that wants to work to make our communities better places to live. I work with anyone working to bring about positive results in Little Rock.

I am not into partisan politics. I’ve been elected to local offices once as a Republican, twice as an Independent and now twice as a Libertarian. Party labels don’t mean much to me. In truth, I fear that political parties make things more difficult by dividing us.

I previously served as Coroner of Grant County, Mayor of Tull, and Constable of Dekalb Township.

As a constable, I don’t try to be a supercop or any other kind of cop. I just try to help my neighbors. Essentially, I believe that everyone has a right to live their lives as they see fit, so long as they do not violate the rights of others. If there is no victim, there is no crime.

Let’s talk.

Monthly Report

Constable Gilbert’s February, 2025 Report Transportation The second month of 2025 and of my term included 136 Transport Events. The majority of these trips were to and from work, but 31 of them were for medical and legal appointments. There were others who requested transportation, but could not be scheduled. We need volunteers who can meet the needs that I cannot. If you would like to help, contact me at the number below. Broken Windows Policing WITHOUT Police I wrote 83 letters to folks who were listed for code violations. One in ten were returned because of bad addresses but I was able to visit with many of them. There are problems with Code Enforcement, but I believe the officers enforcing the code are working to keep the city safe and clean. In a few cases I worked with property owners who said they were unaware of the violation and in every case, except one, they were willing and able to cure the violation. That one exception was an out of town property owner who could not board up windows on their vacant house. Fortunately, I was able to connect him with Rusbel Rivera who contracted to do the work the same day. I have been unable to find a reliable way to identify violations involving low income residents who struggle to abate violations. Discussions with CE officers about how the system works lead me to believe that Environmental Court may be the key to finding out how prevalent the problem is and an ultimate solution. STOP Unsolicited Phone Solicitations In February’s 28 days I logged more tha143 personal telephone calls from companies that I doubt are legitimate businesses. I certainly had not asked them to call me. I encourage anyone who finds those solicitations as irritating as I do, to keep a record of them. Perhaps we can find a way to encourage them to stop their intrusive business practices. Constable’s Listening Tour It would be a pleasure to meet with you to discuss my concerns, and more importantly, to hear from you about things that concern you, but are not being addressed. Contact me at any time. I want to hear from you and to help in any way that I can. 501 204-0425 Frank@FrankGilbert.org
