# US Postal Inspection Service The **federal LE agency of the US Postal Service**. The largest federal counterparty in the Conway production. USPIS accounts ran **3,502 Flock plate lookups** that touched Conway PD's data during the March 1, 2026 – April 21, 2026 window — **59% of all federal lookups** recorded. ## Roles in this corpus - **Dominant federal data consumer.** USPIS volume (3,502 / 5,929 = 59%) exceeds the FBI's (40%) in the [[Federal Searches CSV]] export. Average ~69 USPIS lookups/day touching Conway data. - Search-reason coded in visible rows as `"Financial Crime (Embezzlement/Fraud) - Inspections"` — i.e., USPIS is using Flock's nationwide-camera network for financial-crime predicate searches, a use case that on its face does not require LPR network access tied to physical mail-handling premises. - **Appears in [[SharedNetworks 2025-12-17 Snapshot]]** as a sharing-relationship counterparty for Conway PD (see also the federal `[Federal]` prefix convention Flock uses for federal entities). ## Notes - The dominance of USPIS over FBI is striking. USPIS's traditional mission is mail-related crime (mail fraud, mail theft, postal-employee misconduct); the use of Flock's continental ALPR network for "Financial Crime (Embezzlement/Fraud) - Inspections" is a use case worth surfacing publicly. The fact pattern raises an open research question: is USPIS becoming a Flock power-user for non-mail-specific federal financial-crime work, and what is the legal basis for that use? - The data this Wiki page sits on (USPIS conducting nationwide-network LPR queries) is itself the kind of fact that would likely warrant external reporting once corroborated against other agencies' FOIA productions (multi-jurisdictional aggregation).
