The Springdale Police Department, in coordination with Flock Safety, is launching a new voluntary program that allows residents to register their home surveillance cameras.
Community involvement is often crucial in solving crimes. Evidence from video surveillance has proven to be a powerful tool in helping law enforcement investigate criminal activity, locate missing persons, and better assess emergency situations.
When residents register their cameras, they are simply providing the Police Department with their contact information and noting the presence of a surveillance camera at their residence. Your camera will not be livestreamed or directly accessed by law enforcement. If a crime were to occur in your area, officers may reach out to request potential video footage that your camera may have captured.
Residents may remove their information from the registry at any time by contacting the Springdale Police Department or Flock Safety.
To register your camera, please visit our website at:
https://www.springdalear.gov/o/spd/page/programs
and click on “Register or Integrate Cameras.”
Local businesses can register and integrate their security cameras with the Police Department. This integration provides law enforcement with immediate access to specified cameras in the event of a nearby emergency or critical incident.
Only publicly accessible cameras (such as parking lots, entryways, or storefronts) will be connected. Private interior or residential cameras are not included in this program.
To begin the integration process, businesses can submit a request directly to Flock Safety. A Flock representative will then contact you to guide the setup and address any questions you may have.
Through this partnership, residents, businesses, and law enforcement can collaborate to ensure faster response times, more effective investigations, and a safer Springdale.
Take action today! Register your camera and join us in making Springdale a safer, stronger community. Together, we can protect what matters most.
The Springdale Police Department is proud to announce that Captain Paul Gateley was among the 254 law enforcement officers who graduated this past Thursday from the prestigious FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
Captain Gateley completed the rigorous 10-week program as part of the 295th session of the National Academy, which included men and women from 49 states, the District of Columbia, 20 international countries, six military organizations, and four federal civilian agencies.
Internationally known for its academic excellence, the FBI National Academy provides advanced training in communication, leadership, and fitness. Candidates are nominated to attend after demonstrating exceptional professional achievement and leadership ability. On average, participants have 21 years of law enforcement service and return to their agencies to serve in executive-level positions.
The training is conducted by FBI Academy instructors, special agents, and staff recognized worldwide for their expertise. Since 1972, National Academy graduates have also had the opportunity to earn academic credits through the University of Virginia, which accredits all National Academy courses.
Since the program began in 1935, a total of 56,434 law enforcement officers have graduated from the FBI National Academy.
Congratulations and welcome back, Captain Gateley.

We need your help in identifying these subjects who all did pretty well in looking at the cameras. We don't have a name to match these photogenic individuals. If you know these people, we would like to talk with them and possibly use our camera in our holding facility to add to their photo portfolios. Please get in touch with us at 751-4542, CID at 750-8139, or send us a message.
In the wake of the recent storms, our thoughts are with every individual and family impacted. We understand the immense challenges you're facing, and unfortunately, amidst the cleanup and recovery, we must also address a concerning threat: predatory scams targeting storm victims.
We want to equip you with information to protect yourselves and your loved ones from those who would exploit your vulnerability.
Be vigilant against repair scams. Following natural disasters, it is common for opportunistic individuals to go door-to-door, offering "urgent" repair services, particularly for roofs. These individuals may sound convincing and exert pressure for immediate decisions. Please remember:
Do not feel pressured to decide on the spot. Take your time.
Verify their credentials. Ask for a license and proof of insurance.
Confirm local presence and reputation. Check if they are a reputable, local company.
Avoid paying full price up front. Be wary of requests for significant upfront payments.
Obtain multiple estimates. Compare offers from several contractors.
Consult your insurance company. Always check with your insurer before committing to repairs.
Your safety and recovery are paramount. Please remain cautious and use this knowledge to prevent further hardship.
