# 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]`.

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 share is unilateral — Brittany Smith pushed; Conway accepts by enabling audience.** No countersignature, MOU, or even reply email is required. The arrangement operates through the Flock admin interface alone. - **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. - **The single instance is unlikely to be alone.** This is the only "shared a Hot List" auto-notification in the production, but the [[SharedNetworks 2025-12-17 Snapshot]] lists 1,384 organizations; hot-list sharing among them is presumably common. The single-instance surfacing here suggests either (a) most hot-list shares predate the corpus's email-capture window, or (b) the original FOIA's responsive-set filter excluded older notifications. ## People and orgs mentioned - **Brittany Smith** — Escambia County FL SO; entity page deferred (single mention, role unspecified). - [[Lt.

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.
