# Escambia County FL SO Hot List Share The single documentary example in the corpus of an **out-of-state sheriff's office sharing a custom hot list directly with Conway PD**. The 2026-01-22 auto-notification from Flock that **Brittany Smith at Escambia County (FL) Sheriff's Office** has shared a custom hot list with Lt. Burningham at Conway PD. Distance: ~700 miles southeast of Conway. The cross-jurisdictional reach is significant in itself; the share is a hot list (license plates of interest), not raw camera footage, and operates as an alert channel rather than a search channel. ## What's inside Verbatim notification body: > Great News! Brittany Smith at Escambia County FL SO has shared their custom Hot List with you, giving you and your organization the ability to collaborate more effectively. > > To begin receiving hits for this list, you must enable your organization as an audience. > [admin-UI instructions: Alerts → Custom Hot List → Shared Lists → triple-dots → Edit → audience "Entire Organization" → Save] > Thanks for being part of the Flock. Recipient: `[email protected]`. Sender: `[email protected]`. Sent: 2026-01-22 14:37:24 -06:00. ## Key takeaways - **A custom hot list — not a system-level feed like ACIC/NCIC — was shared from a Florida sheriff to an Arkansas municipal PD.** The CPD Policy 800-32 definition of "Hot List" enumerates ACIC, NCIC, OMV, and FBI Kidnapping/Missing Persons databases. A custom hot list authored by a distant SO and pushed into Conway's alert feed is a configuration the policy does not explicitly contemplate. Whether it falls within the policy's "evidence of an offense is indicated" data-sharing standard is an open question. - **The notification attributes the share to Brittany Smith and identifies a Conway audience.** It does not show who selected or approved the audience, whether Conway separately acted, or whether an agreement existed outside the produced email. - **The technical operation: any Florida-authored plate of interest, once Conway enables "Entire Organization" audience, becomes a real-time alert in Conway** when one of Conway's cameras reads that plate. The opposite direction (Conway plates of interest alerting in Escambia FL) is a separate configuration; the corpus does not show whether Conway reciprocated. - **This is the only “shared a Hot List” auto-notification located in `PD-2026-354`.** The separate SharedNetworks export lists configured network relationships, not hot-list activity, so it cannot establish how many other hot lists were shared. A wider notification or audit export would be needed to measure prevalence. ## People and orgs mentioned - **Brittany Smith** — Escambia County FL SO; entity page deferred (single mention, role unspecified). - [[Andrew Burningham]] — Conway PD admin recipient. - [[Escambia County FL Sheriff's Office]] — organization page for the out-of-state sharing counterparty. - [[Flock Safety, Inc.]] ## Concepts invoked - [[Flock Network Sharing - Hot Lists]] - [[Hot List]] - [[CPD Policy 800-32 — License Plate Reader Vehicle Operations]] ## Events documented - [[2026-01 Escambia County FL Hot List Share to Conway PD]] — 2026-01-22. ## Cross-references - [[SharedNetworks 2025-12-17 Snapshot]] — the broader organization-sharing export in which this counterparty is listed. - [[Home Depot Camera Sharing Series]] — the corporate-side parallel of cross-entity data sharing. ## Open questions / follow-ups 1. **What does the hot list contain?** The content of the custom hot list is not surfaced; only its existence and Conway's acceptance pathway. The actual plates / criteria are inside the Flock platform. 2. **Did Conway enable the audience?** The notification ends with admin-UI instructions; whether Burningham completed them is not directly recorded. Audit-log analysis might reveal whether Conway alerted on Escambia plates. 3. **Other unsolicited hot-list shares.** Search the production for other "shared a Hot List with you!" notifications and other email patterns that indicate hot-list-share events.
