Which Agency Holds a Report from Conway
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
Inside Conway that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Conway Police Department); outside it, the Faulkner County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's list also carries the University of Central Arkansas (campus police) and the State Park at Woolly Hollow State Park (state agency), each with a records office of its own.
The Quitman Police Department and the Damascus Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Faulkner County, so their arrests are not broken out for Faulkner County here.

What the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act Requires
Under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act the agency must answer a request within 3 working days when the record is not immediately available, and it may charge the actual cost of copying. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at faulknercountyar.nextrequest.com (page title: Freedom of Information RequestsNextRequest | Modern FOIA & Public Records Request Software).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the Prosecuting Attorney, 501-450-4927, handles discovery for pending cases.
