# Phillip Varnell Assistant Chief, Administrative Division, [[Russellville Police Department]] (`[email protected]`), and the department's FOIA counterparty for the July 2026 records request. ## Role and affiliations Signs as "Assistant Chief / Administrative Division." [[Russellville ALPR Policy 312.2]] separately provides that "[t]he Administrative Assistant Chief shall serve as the LPR Administrator" (p. 2) — the office charged with usage documentation, dissemination logging, six-month public reporting, and access authorization. The policy's designation and Varnell's signed title correspond; the corpus records both without a further appointment document. ## Appearances in the corpus - Acknowledged the July 21 request on 2026-07-23, flagged the Miovision custody boundary up front, supplied the transparency-portal link, and requested residency verification (Gmail message `19f8f5e1589ba994`). - Transmitted the first-items production the same day with the no-private-cameras statement, the all-Flock statement, the other-agency-locations refusal, and the Public Works referral (Gmail message `19f90c41f2b598d2`; [[russellville-pd/2026-07-23-first-items-production/_overview|production overview]]), noting the Public Information Officer was out of office and rolling production would continue. - Transmitted the DroneSense session log on 2026-07-24 and the current aircraft dashboard, UAS policy, coordinate-bearing export, and Flock contract package on 2026-07-28 (Gmail message `19faa3cace5258d9`; [[russellville-pd/2026-07-28-drone-and-flock-supplement/_overview|supplement overview]]). - Asked what "identifying streams through Flock Wing" meant and pointed to the public transparency portal for sharing relationships (Gmail `19fab2a9bc24d524`). Joshua's July 29 response tied the phrase to the produced signed order's one Wing gateway/eight streams and narrowed the ask to existing configuration, inventory, screenshot, invoice, or substantive-email records (`19faf179fb6e815d`). ## Notes His first transmittal expressly anticipates the ARDOT-reconciliation comparison: "I hope that seeing the latitude and longitude for our cameras and comparing them to what ARDOT provided will answer your questions." The rolling request remains open for categories not resolved by the July 28 supplement; the Wing/sharing clarification was sent on July 29.
