# Faulkner County Sheriff's Office The Faulkner County Sheriff's Office (FCSO), seated in Conway, is the corpus's second county sheriff custodian to produce records (after Pulaski County SO) and the first with a documented federally funded body-worn-camera program. Its first production, NextRequest `#26-238` (released 2026-07-24), documents three technology tracks: a WatchGuard/Motorola Solutions body-worn-camera system purchased in 2022–2023, an Axon relationship that the produced records show to be a TASER program rather than a camera program, and a Skydio X10 drone operation flying since October 2024. ## People - [[Tim Ryals]] — Sheriff; co-signed the February 2024 Coronavirus Relief fund-transfer court order. - [[Allen Dodson]] — Faulkner County Judge (2024); approved the fund-transfer court order. - [[Chad Wooley]] — Grant Award Administrator for the federal BWC award; the Grants.gov submission records Angie Wooley as submitter. - James Baker — Faulkner County Judge (2022); signed Ordinance 22-53. Margaret Darter — County Clerk on the ordinance filings. Scott Sanson — County Treasurer on the December 2023 reimbursement receipt. Stephen Canino — deputy approved for a 2024 TASER instructor course at Conway PD. A single pilot account flew 153 of the 155 logged Skydio flights. ## Roles in this corpus - **Body-worn cameras:** DOJ/BJA award `15PBJA-21-GG-04455-BWCX` ($176,000 federal, $176,000 county match; see [[FCSO BWC Federal Award Chain 15PBJA-21-GG-04455-BWCX]]) funded half of a program whose county-side purchase ran through [[Motorola Solutions]] contract `K-22-077` and a $320,827.50 invoice ([[FCSO WatchGuard Motorola Contract K-22-077]]). - **Funding path:** CARES Act Fund 1005 appropriations (Ordinances 22-11, 22-53 amending 21-45, and 23-05) paid the vendor; the federal grant reimbursed $176,000 by ASAP drawdown in December 2023, moved between county funds by court order in February 2024 ([[FCSO CARES Act Ordinances and Reimbursement Court Order]]). - **Drones:** two Skydio X10 airframes, 155 logged flights from 2024-10-01 through 2026-07-03 ([[FCSO Skydio X10 Flight Log]]). - **What the production does not show:** no Flock or other ALPR records, no private-camera registry, no RTCC, no fixed-camera map, and no sharing/access/audit exports were released; the release carried no completeness statement. Absence here is a finding about the release, not proof the categories are empty. ## Notes The federal application's own project description twice refers to the agency as "the NMBPD" while describing FCSO's 88 sworn officers — an apparent template artifact from another agency's application, replicated on the public BJA award page.
