# Russellville 2026 Semi-Annual ALPR Usage Report
The [[Russellville Police Department]]'s two-page semi-annual practice-and-usage report for **January 1 – June 30, 2026**, published July 13, 2026, citing Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1803(b) and § 12-12-1805 and department Policy 312.2 § IV.B.1.a. It is the corpus's largest reported single-agency six-month scan volume and its most granular voluntary query-audit summary.
## What's inside
- **Volume** (p. 1): "Total License Plates Scanned: 17,624,832 license plate reads (Jan 1, 2026 — Jun 30, 2026)," with a "Data Retention Limit: 150 days maximum server storage."
- **Lists checked and matches** (p. 1): checks against NCIC, ACIC, and local lists; a nine-category match table totaling **1,851** — Warrants/Wanted Persons 999, Registered Sex Offenders 523, Stolen License Plates 118, **Non-Owned Custom Hotlists (Shared Networks) 115**, Stolen Vehicles 46, Local Custom Hotlists 24, Protection/Restraining Orders 20, Missing Persons/AMBER/Morgan Nick 6, Gang/Suspected Terrorist/Violent Persons 2.
- **Verification and outcomes** (p. 2): "All 1,851 system alerts were subject to mandatory verification prior to enforcement action"; "Unverified or non-correlating reads resulted in zero enforcement stops"; **5 arrests across 4 logged cases** (charges including aggravated assault, domestic battery 3rd, terroristic threatening, felony narcotics possession, motor-vehicle theft, and 7 active NCIC warrants served); 2 stolen vehicles recovered ($2,500 value plus one "stolen out of Atkins"); 7.7 grams of methamphetamine seized.
- **Query audit summary** (p. 2): "Total LPR Data Queries Executed: 881 manual searches," of which 413 logged a case number and 468 were for active calls for service or field checks; "Policy Misuse / Unauthorized Access Complaints: 0 (Zero) instances."
- **Sharing and security** (p. 2): dissemination "governed by written MOUs signed by the Chief of Police"; transmissions via encrypted VPN.
## Key takeaways
- **Scale.** 17.6 million reads in six months for a city of roughly 29,000 far exceeds the corpus's prior largest six-month figure — [[PCSO ALPR Six-Month Practice and Usage Report|PCSO's 1,422,898]] (Jan 1 – May 19, 2026) — and yields roughly a 1-in-9,500 read-to-match ratio.
- **Network dependence is quantified.** 115 matches (6.2%) came from other agencies' custom hot lists via Shared Networks — the operational counterpart of the SharedNetworks topology the corpus documents from Conway's and Benton County's exports.
- **Outcome reporting exceeds peers.** Unlike PCSO's "not currently tracked" outcomes, Russellville reports arrests, cases, recoveries, and seizure quantities, and voluntarily includes a manual-query audit summary — while 468 of 881 queries (53%) carry no logged case number, only a calls-for-service/field-check rationale.
- **The Atkins vehicle** ties an outcome to Pope County's second city, inside the county whose Sheriff's Office request is pending.
