Sources & records

Everything on this page traces back to the records below. Where a record carries no linked document, we say so instead of filling the gap.

Documented deployment records

Deployment records come from the EFF Atlas of Surveillance ↗. Database last updated 2026-08-07.

Community-mapped camera locations

36 mapped camera points inside the Fort Smith boundary, from OpenStreetMap contributors via the DeFlock ↗ dataset (ODbL). Each point links to its own OpenStreetMap record in the camera list on this page.

Camera points are matched to this municipality by point-in-polygon containment against US Census Bureau cartographic boundaries (2023) — the coordinate falls inside the municipal boundary. Containment is a statement about location only, never about ownership, operation, purchase or deployment.

CONTRACT ENDEDSearcy, AR

Searcy will stop using Flock Safety cameras; firm had installed 22 surveillance devices around city ↗

Searcy's council voted unanimously to begin ending the city's Flock contracts after the police chief said officers largely weren't using the cameras and the city wasn't getting its money's worth. That makes Searcy at least the sixth Arkansas city to end or suspend the technology — and this one was driven by cost and utility, not only privacy.
