Maybe because there was/is no DSO in Arkansas?

Interesting DSO...unfortunately, with a non-special paint, generic DSO POLICE stamping on your DSO tag, you may have a difficult time identifying the original agency it served with. It's not impossible, but may be a challenge.

Thanks Mike,
At this point i'm most interested in finding out if it's a Tenn on an Arkansas SSP ??? so i can further my search .....
Is there anyone else that can help ????

So does this make my car a little rare or an odd ball????
i noticed in the SSP registry that there are no Tenn or Arkansas cars registered ????


thanks

It wasn't necessarily a state car. Many city and county departments used these as well.

Maybe you could start with a title search in Arkansas?

Question

ok, i called several places in Arkansas and they all point to the city of West Memphis Arkansas.....
The agencies that i spoke to would were not very helpful , they mention that there is a privacy act and will give no info.. I have sent an email to the city dept so we will see on monday what happens ..

Kind of like when I talked to CHP Motorpool about my '93 SSP. It was before they kept records on computer and all the paper records had been thrown out. So sad. :-(
