# 2024-08-09 ASP–ARDOT ALPR Siting Meeting On the Wednesday before 2024-08-09, [[Dennis Overton|Lt. Dennis Overton]] met three ARDOT engineers — Chief Engineer Joseph Hawkins, Hussain Alfaraj, and Michael McHenry — at the ARDOT building in Little Rock about *"the installation of ALPR's at designated locations around Arkansas."* The engineers said they could not assist *"until they were told from their Directors office that they would be participating,"* and asked ASP to route the request through ARDOT's Director. Overton reported the meeting to Colonel [[Jason Aaron]] on 2024-08-09 ([[ALPR Meeting with ARDOT]]; Tier-1 corpus, `ALPR Meeting with ARDOT.msg`). ## Sources - [[ALPR Meeting with ARDOT]] — `ALPR Meeting with ARDOT.msg` (2024-08-09). ## Significance The earliest dated moment in the internal-comms production and the corpus's first documentary anchor for ASP–ARDOT coordination on statewide camera siting. It locates the authorization for placing ASP ALPRs on state right-of-way at ARDOT's Director-level office, not the engineering staff — a control point for the whole fixed-network rollout.
