That screenshot is the online report portal at secure.coplogic.com. The same vendor handles incident report retrieval for Little Rock residents. For FOIA, Little Rock uses littlerock.justfoia.com.
Accident reports go through a different portal. Little Rock uses BuyCrash, run by LexisNexis, for crash report downloads.
The site is buycrash.lexisnexisrisk.com. Select Arkansas, then Little Rock Police Department, then search by report number or driver last name plus date. Fees vary by report type but usually run $5 to $15.
North Little Rock and Other City Police Records
The North Little Rock Police Department runs its own records section at 501-771-7119. Media Relations and FOIA requests go to 501-771-7109.

FOIA Process for Pulaski County Police Records

The custodian has three working days to respond. Copy fees are capped at actual cost of reproduction. If the fee will top $25, the agency can ask for prepayment.
Most Pulaski County agencies accept FOIA by email, mail, fax, in person, or through an online portal. Little Rock uses JustFOIA. The county sheriff uses its own online system. Pulaski County police records that are open to the public include arrest logs, incident reports, accident reports, mugshots, warrants served, and jail bookings. Exemptions include ongoing investigations, juvenile files, undercover officer identities, and concealed handgun license data.
Note: Give as much detail as you can in a Pulaski County police records request. Case numbers speed things up, but a name, date, and location are usually enough.

The Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility holds inmates arrested by the sheriff and by every city police department in the county. The online inmate roster on the sheriff's site shows current bookings with mugshots, charges, and bond amounts.

Victim notifications run through VINELink at vinelink.com. Sign up with an inmate ID or name to get a call or email when the inmate is released or moved. VINELink is free. The service also covers county jail transfers, not just state prison moves.
The detention facility address on file is the main sheriff's office location. Visitation is by appointment. The county also runs a central dispatch center that handles 911 calls for the unincorporated parts of Pulaski County. Call logs themselves are public under FOIA, though some call content is exempt if tied to an active investigation.
