# Flock Deconfliction Advisory The **Flock Deconfliction Advisory** is an automated email that [[Flock Safety, Inc.]] sends to an [[Hot List]] Alert Owner when that owner's license-plate-reader hot-list entry overlaps with at least one other organization's hot-list entry on the same plate. The advisory names the searching agency, states the target plate, records the search timestamp in UTC, and lists the overlapping Alert Owners along with their work email addresses and, where present, work phone numbers. Each advisory carries boilerplate placing the decision to share information on the individual officer rather than the agency. The mechanism is described in the production by its own header text: "Please be advised that Flock Safety has identified overlaps between a Flock Safety LPR hot list entry of yours and at least one other organization." (Emails 25-35.pdf p. 562, "Please be advised that Flock Safety has identified overlaps between a Flock Safety LPR hot list entry of yours and at least one other organization."). Within the [[Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR)]] system, an Alert Owner is the officer who has placed a plate of interest on a hot list; when two owners in different organizations (or, as in this chunk, within the same agency) hold an alert on the same plate and a search is run, Flock surfaces the overlap to each owner by email. The advisory functions in two ways at once. First, it operates as a cross-organization information-sharing broker: Flock distributes the overlapping owners' direct contact information so they can coordinate. The advisory states this purpose explicitly: "For purposes of collaboration and information sharing, the contact information associated with the overlapping organization(s) is provided below. Please note that the sharing of information involving this LPR overlap is the responsibility of each individual Alert Owner." (Emails 25-35.pdf p. 562, "For purposes of collaboration and information sharing, the contact information associated with the overlapping organization(s) is provided below. Please note that the sharing of information involving this LPR overlap is the responsibility of each individual Alert Owner."). Second, because each advisory records which agency searched which plate at a specific UTC time, the advisories collectively function as an inadvertent, contemporaneous log of search activity — a de-facto audit-trail record generated as a side effect of the notification, relevant to [[Flock Audit Logs and Retention]]. This dual character (sharing broker and search log) makes the advisories the primary evidentiary artifact of the [[Little Rock Police Department]] PDFOI-2026-1874 production; they document, in Flock's own automated wording, who searched a plate and when. The advisory also embodies the [[Surveillance Data Sharing — Default-On Posture]]: by surfacing overlaps and pushing officer contact details outward by default, it routes coordination through individual Alert Owners and, by the boilerplate, locates the sharing decision at the officer level rather than at agency or oversight level. This is the same default-on dynamic at issue in the broader [[Flock Network Sharing - Hot Lists]] architecture. ## How it appears in the corpus The clearest cluster of advisories in this production sits at Emails 25-35.pdf pp. 561-569 (extracted in chunk_09.txt), which contains four substantially identical Deconfliction Advisory emails. All four were sent on Friday, February 6, 2026, with print/send times of approximately 2:16 AM and 2:23 AM local, corresponding to hot-list searches at 8:15 AM UTC and 8:23 AM UTC. Each advisory states the searching agency and the search time in a single recurring sentence: "On February 6, 2026 at 8:23 AM UTC, a Flock Safety hot list search was conducted by Little Rock AR PD for target plate: , [plate redacted]" (Emails 25-35.pdf p. 562, "On February 6, 2026 at 8:23 AM UTC, a Flock Safety hot list search was conducted by Little Rock AR PD for target plate: , [plate redacted]"). An earlier search of the same plate is recorded with the state field captured: "On February 6, 2026 at 8:15 AM UTC, a Flock Safety hot list search was conducted by Little Rock AR PD for target plate: arkansas, [plate redacted]" (Emails 25-35.pdf p. 566, "On February 6, 2026 at 8:15 AM UTC, a Flock Safety hot list search was conducted by Little Rock AR PD for target plate: arkansas, [plate redacted]"). The target plate in this cluster is a specific Arkansas plate (not reproduced here); the same plate recurs across all four advisories. In this particular cluster, every overlapping Alert Owner listed belongs to the Little Rock AR PD itself, so the deconfliction overlaps here are intra-agency: multiple LRPD officers each holding an alert on the same plate, rather than a share with an external department. The 8:15 AM batch lists four overlapping LRPD Alert Owners (Levi Jones, Coleman Dillon, Tyler Crowe, Eric Aguilar); the later 8:23 AM batch lists six (adding James Tankersley and Robert Scoggin), so the overlap set grew between the two searches minutes apart (Emails 25-35.pdf pp. 562-563, pp. 566-567). The corpus shows the advisory format is not specific to one search. Other Deconfliction Advisories in the production document the same structure for different dates and plates — for example, a March 20, 2024 hot-list search: "On March 20, 2024 at 4:17 PM UTC, a Flock Safety hot list search was conducted by Little Rock AR PD for target plate: arkansas, [plate redacted]" (Emails 1-24.pdf p. 418, "On March 20, 2024 at 4:17 PM UTC, a Flock Safety hot list search was conducted by Little Rock AR PD for target plate: arkansas, [plate redacted]"), with the same sharing boilerplate appearing on p. 416. Across the production, advisories capture overlaps among LRPD and other Arkansas and out-of-state agencies, but the verbatim wording quoted here is anchored to the chunk_09.txt cluster. The advisory footer in every instance shows the Flock support contact: "[email protected]" and "+1 (866) 901-1781" (Emails 25-35.pdf p. 561, "[email protected] [4 +1 (866) 901-1781"). ## Stakeholders - **[[Flock Safety, Inc.]]** — generates and sends the advisories automatically; the emails originate from a Flock address ("on behalf of [email protected]") and are marked as external mail by the recipient's system (Emails 25-35.pdf p. 562). - **[[Little Rock Police Department]]** — the searching agency named in the advisories in this production, and the agency whose officers appear as the overlapping Alert Owners. The named LRPD recipients/owners in the chunk_09.txt cluster are government employees acting in their official roles: James Tankersley, Levi Jones, Coleman Dillon, Tyler Crowe, Eric Aguilar, Robert Scoggin, and Michael Hunton, each identified by an @littlerock.gov work email (Emails 25-35.pdf pp. 561-569). The records in this chunk were collected/produced via Domikia Davis ("Davis, Domikia"), whose mailbox the advisories were pulled from (Emails 25-35.pdf p. 562). - **Individual Alert Owners** — the boilerplate assigns the sharing decision to each individual owner, so the human discretion over whether to act on an overlap sits with line officers rather than at the agency or oversight level (Emails 25-35.pdf p. 562). - **Overlapping organizations** — in other parts of the production these are external agencies, but in the chunk_09.txt cluster the overlaps are entirely within LRPD. ## Notes - **PII present but not reproduced.** The advisories contain a specific Arkansas target plate and, for some Alert Owners, work cell numbers (for example, numbers shown beside Tyler Crowe and James Tankersley at Emails 25-35.pdf pp. 561-562). Per the wiki's PII rules, plate numbers and officers' phone numbers are not reproduced here; their presence in the source is noted. The named individuals are government employees identified by official work email, which is reproduced. - **OCR caveat.** The chunk is OCR of scanned printouts and contains noise (stray characters in headers and footers, e.g., "[4" and "[ya]" near the support footer). The substantive advisory sentences and the sharing boilerplate are legible and consistent across all four copies, so the quotes above are taken from that repeated, mutually-corroborating text. In the 8:23 AM advisories the target-plate state field reads blank (", [plate redacted]") while the paired 8:15 AM advisories read "arkansas, [plate redacted]"; this is reproduced as it appears rather than harmonized. - **Evidentiary significance.** Because the advisory is generated automatically and embeds the searching agency, plate, UTC timestamp, and the set of overlapping owners, it serves as a contemporaneous record of search activity. The growth of the overlap set between the 8:15 AM and 8:23 AM batches (four owners to six) is itself documented within the advisories, illustrating how the artifact captures activity over a few minutes. This is the basis for treating Deconfliction Advisories as the primary evidentiary artifact of the PDFOI-2026-1874 production; the related source page is [[Flock Deconfliction Advisories and the LRPD Sharing Network]].
