The Faulkner County 911 Addressing Office has a limited number of unclaimed 911 address markers remaining from the sign order completed last year. These signs were ordered but never picked up. Rather than allowing them to go unused, we are making them available to Faulkner County residents on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Please review the attached list to see which address markers are currently available. These signs may be picked up through June 12, 2026, at the following location:

Faulkner County Office of Emergency Management
57 Acklin Gap Road
Conway, AR 72032

Important information:

• You must be a Faulkner County resident to receive a sign.
• If you already received a 911 address marker through this program, you are not eligible to receive another one.
• We will not be ordering additional signs, so please do not request addresses that are not listed.
• We will not mail or deliver signs. Signs must be picked up in person.
• You are responsible for installing the sign and providing any necessary mounting hardware.
• Due to the volume of signs available and the first-come, first-served nature of this giveaway, please do not call or email asking whether a specific sign is still available. Availability changes as signs are claimed.

Visible address markers help emergency responders locate homes and businesses more quickly during emergencies. Thank you for helping keep Faulkner County safe!

When you wear your seat belt, staying safe is a cinch! Seat Belts Saves Lives. Buckle Up May 18 - May 31, and Every Day. Faulkner County Sheriff's Office is pleased to join the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in urging drivers to buckle up ahead of the Click It or Ticket seat belt safety campaign. The national high-visibility seat belt enforcement effort, which coincides with the Memorial Day holiday, runs May 18-31, 2026.

Seat belt use should be an automatic habit for drivers and passengers alike. During the Click It or Ticket campaign, we'll be working with our fellow law enforcement officers to ensure the message gets out to drivers and passengers. Not buckling up could mean a ticket, or worse, risking a life.

In 2024, there were 9,758 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes. The national seat belt use rate in 2024 was 91.2%, which is good - but it can be better. The other 8.8% still need to be reminded that seat belts save lives. Participating law enforcement agencies will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt law enforcement, writing citations day and night.

One of the focuses of the Click It or Ticket seat belt campaign is nighttime enforcement. NHTSA data shows a higher number of unrestrained occupant fatalities happen at night (56% between the hours of 6pm. and 5:59am). Of the males killed in crashes in 2023, more than half (53%) were unrestrained. For females killed in crashes, 41% were not buckled up.

Buckle Up the Right Way

•Place the shoulder belt across the middle of the chest and away from the neck.
•Lay the lap belt across the hips and not the stomach.
•NEVER place the seat belt behind the back or under arms.

We are asking friends and family to remind each other to buckle up in the front and back seats and to consider changing their habits if they don't. Seat belts save lives, and everyone - front seat and back, child and adult - needs to remember to buckle up.
