# 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 1-24.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 1-24.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, each advisory is a contemporaneous record that a particular overlap-triggering search occurred, naming the searching **agency**, plate, and UTC time. Collectively they form a partial event trail relevant to [[Flock Audit Logs and Retention]], but not a formal or complete console audit log: they do not identify the individual searcher and omit searches that triggered no overlap. This dual character makes the advisories a major evidentiary artifact of the [[Little Rock Police Department]] `PDFOI-2026-1874` production without proving that the requested Federal Searches, SharedNetworks, or Audit-view exports existed. The advisory automatically surfaces an overlap and supplies contact information, while its boilerplate says that any subsequent information sharing is each Alert Owner's responsibility. That establishes the notice's workflow; it does not establish LRPD's tenant default, the platform's initialization state, or the agency-level approval behind the underlying hot-list relationships. ## How it appears in the corpus The clearest cluster of advisories in this production sits at Emails 1-24.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 1-24.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 1-24.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; 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 1-24.pdf pp. 562-563, pp. 566-567). The listed owners are not necessarily the person who executed either search. 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 1-24.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 1-24.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 1-24.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 1-24.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 1-24.pdf p. 562). Their presence in the overlap table does not identify the person who executed the search. - **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 - **The advisories carry a target plate and officer cell numbers.** 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 1-24.pdf pp. 561-562). The named individuals are government employees identified by official work email. - **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 and limit.** 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 a particular overlap-triggering search. 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. It does not reveal the individual searcher, all searches, or the existence of a saved console export. The related source page is [[Flock Deconfliction Advisories and the LRPD Sharing Network]].
