# 2026-05-19 ASP FOIA Filed
Joshua Dunlap files an Arkansas Freedom of Information Act request with the Arkansas State Police using the corpus's four-item ALPR template (procurement / internal communications / usage data / CJIS-Systems-Agency role) plus an optional fifth item on grants. The request is acknowledged the same day by [[Ryan Roach]] (Attorney, [[Arkansas Department of Public Safety]]) with a backlog warning. Gmail thread `19e3d8ec9e0f6ccd`.
The five-item structure:
- **Item 1** — procurement / contracts / invoices for ALPR systems.
- **Item 2** — internal communications between ASP staff and the ALPR vendor(s) and within ASP about ALPR use.
- **Item 3** — usage / audit data (audit logs, searches, network-sharing snapshots, hot-list memberships).
- **Item 4** — ASP's CJIS-Systems-Agency role (review / audit / approval of other Arkansas agencies' ALPR systems).
- **Item 5** — grants (optional) — federal or state grant records funding the ALPR procurement.

## Significance
- **The first ASP-specific FOIA in the corpus.** Joshua had previously filed ALPR FOIAs with Conway PD, Fayetteville PD, Little Rock PD, the City of Conway, PCSO, the Pulaski County Government, and the City of Little Rock; ASP is the corpus's first state-LE-agency filing.
- **Establishes the rolling-batch timeline.** Roach's 2026-05-19 acknowledgment with backlog warning sets up the multi-week response cycle; the production arrives in stages starting 2026-06-05 with batch 1.
- **The template adaptation for state-LE.** Item 4 (CJIS-Systems-Agency role) is a state-LE-specific question — designed to test whether ASP exercises oversight authority over municipal/county ALPR systems' CJIS-compliance. The hypothesis the item was designed to test is structural: that Arkansas has a state-level CJIS-oversight role over plate-data-sharing infrastructure.
