# Benton County SO Camera Locations and System Status On 2026-07-22, the [[Benton County Sheriff's Office]] supplied eight exact Flock coordinate/site records and brief status statements after consulting its I.T. staff. The email remains in Gmail under message `19f8a34219dd9e6f`; only the attached SharedNetworks CSV is stored in `raw/`. ## Flock camera/site records The agency introduced the list as “The locations of our flock cameras are as follows.” That phrasing supports attribution of the eight points to BCSO's disclosed Flock footprint, but it does not by itself establish installation, activation, current operation, ownership, device count, or as-built accuracy. | Site record | Exact disclosed coordinate | Direction as disclosed | Evidence reading | |---:|---|---|---| | 1 | `36.277285, -94.580981` | East bound | Agency-disclosed location; installation/current operation not independently confirmed | | 2 | `36.180664, -94.498697` | East Bound | Agency-disclosed location; installation/current operation not independently confirmed | | 3 | `36.337569, -94.460463` | North Bound | Agency-disclosed location; installation/current operation not independently confirmed | | 4 | `36.334058, -94.445344` | East Bound | **“Not installed in permitting”** | | 5 | `36.325075, -94.456793` | “Sount Bound” | **“Not installed in permitting”**; source typo preserved, normalized to southbound only in explanatory prose | | 6 | `36.342074, -94.061816` | East and West Bound | One coordinate with two directions; device count not stated | | 7 | `36.294304, -94.110522` | North Bound | Agency-disclosed location; installation/current operation not independently confirmed | | 8 | `36.374460, -94.098512` | North Bound | Agency-disclosed location; installation/current operation not independently confirmed | Source: [Gmail correspondence](https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#all/19f89ef48ae73103), message `19f8a34219dd9e6f`, location list following “The locations of our flock cameras are as follows.” ### P1873 is a nearby lead, not a crosswalk ARDOT's statewide export has a `Benton Co` P1873 point at `36.276654, -94.579190` (`TrafficControlDevices.csv`, line 199). BCSO site record 1 is approximately **175.2 meters (575 feet)** away by Haversine calculation. The values are not identical, and neither source links them. They remain separate records until a permit, site survey, device ID, or agency explanation supplies a defensible crosswalk ([[Statewide Traffic Control Devices Export]], `TrafficControlDevices.csv`, line 199). ## Sharing statement BCSO wrote: “All flock cameras are shared to all other Arkansas agencies that have flock also.” The attached [[SharedNetworks 2026-07-22 Snapshot]] is broader than that sentence: it contains Arkansas reciprocal relationships, but also many configured outbound relationships to out-of-state, federal, private, and community-labeled organizations. The sentence is therefore treated as a nonexclusive description of statewide sharing, not as a certification that Arkansas peers are the only recipients. ## WatchGuard / Motorola video The agency says its in-car and body-worn “Watchguard (now Motorola)” cameras are not connected to cloud services and “download locally via Wi-Fi to on prim storage.” The record does not give current device counts, models, retention, server architecture, contract status, or a native inventory; the source's apparent `on prim` typo is understood as on-premises only in explanatory prose. ## Drones and aviation BCSO says its drones are deployed ad hoc for operations, are not connected to ALPR cloud services, are not fed to cloud-based programs, and are not part of a Drone as First Responder auto-launch system. It separately says its OH-58 fleet has no downlink capability; one older FLIR8500 is installed on N134SD, while N131SD has only a spotlight. These are capability/status statements, not substitute inventories, flight logs, policies, FAA records, procurement files, or deployment histories. ## Marine Division and sonar > [!contradiction] Boat-camera status is unresolved > The FOIA email states, “our marine division does not have cameras on our boats.” The official Marine Unit page, metadata-modified 2026-03-25 and still live on 2026-07-22, says the unit uses “boat-mounted radar, infrared cameras, and underwater sonar” (primary public record, [official Marine Unit page](../../../../web%20archive/2026-07-22/sheriff.bentoncountyar.gov/marine-unit.md)). The page may be stale, the cameras may be portable rather than currently mounted, or equipment may have been removed, but the present record does not resolve which account controls. See [[T015 - Benton County Marine Camera Status]]. The email also says sonar has not been deployed since a linked missing-kayaker incident. That statement concerns use since an incident, while the official page concerns capability; it is not by itself a separate contradiction. ## 1033 assets BCSO identifies one Oshkosh M-ATV and one MRAP as the material 1033-program assets, apart from Conex storage boxes and small tools. No transfer documents, serial/asset identifiers, acquisition dates, disposition records, or equipment inventories accompanied the statement. ## Coverage boundary The email answers fragments of the request but does not expressly dispose of the requested contracts, P1873 file, complete inventories/counts, WatchGuard procurement and policy records, statutory ALPR reports, audits/activity reports, drone/aviation/marine inventories and logs, 1033 transfer records, architecture, procurement, or bounded communications. No no-records statement, exemption citation, search description, fee notice, or closure notice accompanied the production.
