# 2026-05 Pulaski County SO ALPR FOIA Response 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 - [[_overview]] — 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. - **Confirms a Conway–PCSO data link from the activity side.** PCSO is enumerated in Conway PD's [[SharedNetworks 2025-12-17 Snapshot]] as "Pulaski County AR SO." PCSO's own usage report shows 1,645 of 2,092 alerts (79 percent) come from custom hot lists other agencies own and share into PCSO's networks — the activity-side counterpart to the configured-relationship topology Conway's snapshot documents. The two productions, ingested separately, describe the same network from two ends. 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]].
