# 2026-07 Fort Smith Reconciles Camera Count On July 29, 2026, [[Dan Dennis]] answered the count-reconciliation portion of Fort Smith Police request `P009213-072126` in writing. He said the reported increase from 21 to 31 readers reflected a budget for ten additional ALPR cameras that "were never purchased." He described the current 44-camera figure as 21 Flock ALPR cameras, five installed Flock-provided PTZ cameras, and eighteen PTZ camera streams from six leased [[WCCTV]] trailers integrated into FlockOS. (Gmail message/thread `19faebede163c914`.) Dennis also said the Department is contracted for six Flock PTZ cameras on Garrison Avenue. One was relocated across the street because of power availability and is awaiting an [[Arkansas Department of Transportation|ARDOT]] permit, leaving 26 of 27 contracted Flock cameras installed. On his account, installing that remaining PTZ would raise the integrated total from 44 to 45. The message includes no attachment, native inventory, location list, configuration export, permit, or production file; Dennis said the team would continue producing records. ## Sources - City of Fort Smith Records Request Center, `P009213-072126`, message/thread `19faebede163c914`, July 29, 2026. ## Significance The written answer separates budget authorization from acquisition and separates Flock-provided cameras from third-party streams integrated into FlockOS. It resolves the arithmetic behind the public 44-camera figure as a custodian statement while leaving the underlying records, exact sites, lifecycle fields, sharing configuration, and requested production outstanding.
