# 2026-05 Pulaski County SO ALPR FOIA Response *Erratum, 2026-07-30: an earlier version treated PCSO's aggregate non-owned-hot-list alerts as activity on the specific Conway–PCSO relationship. The report does not name the outside agencies or hot lists behind those alerts.* On 2026-05-22 the [[Pulaski County Sheriff's Office]] released two documents to FOIA request `#26-808` on the NextRequest public-records portal: a § 12-12-1805 six-month ALPR practice-and-usage report covering January 1 – May 19, 2026, and a companion offense-type search-usage report dated 2026-05-21. The request — Joshua Dunlap's standard four-item ALPR FOIA template, filed 2026-05-19 — was the **partial production** on the path: item 1 (vendor / procurement) was referred to a separate county custodian, item 2 (internal communications) was assigned to PCSO IT for further processing, and item 4 (asset-forfeiture authorization) was unaddressed in the 2026-05-20 routing message. This release answers item 3 (usage / audit data) only. The production confirms [[Pulaski County Sheriff's Office]] as an operator of a Flock Safety ALPR system — **1,422,898 plates scanned and 2,092 alerts** over the reporting period, with 79 percent of alerts driven by other agencies' custom hot lists shared into PCSO's networks. The request was closed 2026-06-01 — see [[2026-06 Pulaski County SO 26-808 Closed with No-Records on Items 2 and 4]]. ## Sources - [[pulaski-county-so/26-808/_overview|PCSO 26-808 Production]] — production overview and FOIA-correspondence trace. - [[PCSO ALPR Six-Month Practice and Usage Report]] — the § 12-12-1805 report. - [[PCSO ALPR Offense-Type Search Usage]] — the offense-type search-activity table. Gmail threads in the trace: filing `19e3d8f829ce62e4`, portal submission `19e3dc0e7062bd88`, 2026-05-20 portal routing message `19e46ce4be5a5207`, 2026-05-22 document release `19e5170929098518`. ## Significance - **First county sheriff's office in the corpus.** PCSO is the third jurisdiction documented after Conway PD and Fayetteville PD, and the first county-level agency. It establishes the investigation's first non-municipal ALPR operator. - **Documents topology and aggregate activity in separate records.** Conway's [[SharedNetworks 2025-12-17 Snapshot]] lists "Pulaski County AR SO" in its configured topology. PCSO's own usage report separately shows that 1,645 of 2,092 alerts (79 percent) came from custom hot lists other agencies owned and shared into PCSO's networks. The PCSO report does not name those agencies or lists, so it cannot establish that any of the 1,645 alerts traversed the Conway–PCSO relationship. See [[Flock Network Sharing - Hot Lists]] and [[Surveillance Data Sharing — Default-On Posture]]. - **Procurement and internal-communications records remain outstanding at PCSO.** PCSO did not produce its Flock contract, pricing, asset-forfeiture or appropriation records, or internal communications in this release. Item 1 was referred to a separate county custodian (the Pulaski County Government NextRequest portal, per the 2026-06-01 follow-on message). Items 2 and 4 were closed as "no records found" on 2026-06-01 by PCSO IT and PCSO Finance respectively — see [[2026-06 Pulaski County SO 26-808 Closed with No-Records on Items 2 and 4]]. Whether PCSO's Flock system was funded through the county budget, federal grant, or county-level forfeiture is the County-level question that follows. - **Outcomes are not tracked.** PCSO's § 12-12-1805 report states it does not currently track ALPR match outcomes — the statutory element on whether alerts led to arrests or prosecutions. The Conway H1 reports give comparable but skeletal outcomes data (3 in 2024, 4 in 2025); PCSO gives none. See [[PCSO ALPR Six-Month Practice and Usage Report]].
