# Flock Safety, Inc.
The Atlanta-based **automatic-license-plate-reader (ALPR) vendor** that supplies Conway PD's 20-camera deployment. Legal entity: **Flock Group Inc.** doing business as **Flock Safety**. Address 1170 Howell Mill Rd NW, Ste 210, Atlanta GA 30318. Banking at Silicon Valley Bank (account opened 03/06/2017). The central counterparty for the entire Conway investigation: every contract, every camera, every audit log, every shared network, every federal-LE lookup in the production touches Flock's platform.
Flock also appears in the corpus as a **prospective** vendor in a second jurisdiction: at the [[Fayetteville Police Department]] (`PD-2026-1484`), Flock has run an extended sales courtship — an on-site demo, a camera deployment plan, and tiered pricing for a roughly $435,000 three-year package — that, as of that production, had not produced a signed contract. See [[Flock Safety Procurement Courtship]].
## People
Flock personnel identified in the Conway PD corpus:
- [[Brittney Hall]] — Territory Sales Manager (Arkansas); contract execution.
- [[Skylar Lindner]] — Senior Project Manager - Core, Arkansas; deployment and installation.
- [[Melissa Lee]] — Customer Success Manager; onboarding and training.
- [[Garrett Yosenick]] — Project Manager (Majors); carried the 20-camera deployment through ARDOT permitting to completion.
- [[Gena Hatch]] — Customer Success Manager; routed the Home Depot camera-share request and the April 2026 Council information-security reply.
- [[Danica Pierce]] — Onboarding Specialist; sent the 2026-03 Home Depot state-wide camera-share announcement.
- [[LaShaunda Stafford]], [[Brittnie Hendrix]], [[Aly Bolick]] — Flock team members named on the 2025-01-23 onboarding email; specific roles not stated in the corpus.
- "Ashley" — Flock Safety first-line support; named only by given name, so no entity page.
Flock personnel identified in the Fayetteville PD corpus (active procurement courtship):
- [[Jason Lanthier]] — Account Executive; the early Fayetteville deployment plan and tiered pricing.
- [[Houston Whatley]] — Territory Sales Manager (Texas); Fayetteville point of contact from early 2026; also copied on Conway's deployment-update thread.
- [[James Allen]] — Account Executive; assembled the spring 2026 Fayetteville proposal.
Per the [[2026-05 Bounce-Scope Diagnostic]] header scan, **43 unique `@flocksafety.com` addresses** appear in the 389 `.msg` Conway production; the lists above are the named, corpus-anchored subset.
## Roles in this corpus
- **Vendor of record** on the executed [[Flock Safety Order Form and Contract]] (36-month / 20-camera / $180,000).
- **Platform operator** for the Conway PD deployment — provides the ALPR cameras (Flock Safety Falcon), the cloud platform, the audit-log system, the network-sharing infrastructure, and the customer-success / project-management / support workflows.
- **Coordinator** of multi-party data-sharing arrangements — e.g., the [[Home Depot Camera Sharing Series]] state-wide rollout was Flock-executed, not directly THD-to-PD-bilateral.
- **Exporter** of regulatory-style audit deliverables — the [[Federal Searches CSV]], the [[SharedNetworks 2025-12-17 Snapshot]], and the [[Conway PD Audit Logs Series]] are all Flock-platform-generated artifacts produced for Conway PD's internal or FOIA-response use.
- **Information-security counterparty** — when the Conway City Council asked about data-breach exposure in April 2026, Conway PD turned to Flock for the talking points. See [[Flock Cameras Apr 2026 City Council QA Thread]].
- **Prospective vendor at a second jurisdiction** — at the [[Fayetteville Police Department]], Flock is the competing ALPR vendor in an active procurement courtship against [[Axon Enterprise, Inc.]]; the same Arkansas sales personnel ([[Brittney Hall]], [[Melissa Lee]]) appear on the Fayetteville demo invitation. See [[Flock Safety Procurement Courtship]].
## Notes
- Legal entity is "Flock Group, Inc."; trade name "Flock Safety." Verified against W-9 (dated 4/10/2024) attached to [[Flock Safety Past Due Balance INV-81961]] and the Order Form cover page.
- Insurance posture as of 08/2024–08/2025 (per Marsh-issued COI in INV-81961): CGL $1M/$2M; Auto $1M CSL; Umbrella $10M; Workers Comp statutory; Errors & Omissions / Cyber with $100K SIR. Carriers: Travelers, Charter Oak Fire, Homeland Insurance of NY.
- The vendor's published self-positioning around information security (ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, NIST 800-53, Secure By Design CISA principles, MFA default since Nov 2024) is captured in the [[Flock Cameras Apr 2026 City Council QA Thread]] attached one-pager — recorded for citation in later synthesis but not yet validated against external sources within the wiki.
- External research could further document the vendor's: (a) corporate filings (SEC if applicable, state corporate filings), (b) publicly-known security disclosures and CVEs, (c) news coverage of customer relationships (404 Media, EFF, Brennan Center). For now the characterization above rests on the documents in this corpus.
## Little Rock — the third jurisdiction footprint (CLR-2026-778)
The [[CLR-2026-778]] production extends Flock's documented Arkansas footprint to a third jurisdiction: **[[Little Rock Police Department]]**. Per Resolution 16,846 (October 21, 2025), Little Rock entered into an **initial Flock contract in 2020** — making LRPD the **earliest** documented Flock customer in the corpus by approximately five years. Subsequent renewals are documented at Resolution 15,892 (Feb 7, 2023), Resolution 16,489 (Nov 4, 2024), and Resolution 16,846 (Oct 21, 2025).
| Conway PD | Fayetteville PD | Little Rock PD |
|---|---|---|
| 20 Flock Falcon cameras since 2025 | Active courtship; no executed contract | 115 Flock Falcon cameras since 2020 |
| $180,000 / 3 years ($60K/yr) | Proposed ~$435,000 / 3 years | $690,000 / 2 years ($345K/yr) |
| Asset-forfeiture funded (Ord. O-25-09) | TBD | General fund (Account 105225-63360) |
| 30-day retention | TBD | 30-day retention |
| Reseller: direct Flock | Direct sales pitched | **Reseller: Insight Public Sector** (OMNIA Partners #23-6692-03) |
| Notice contact: [[Lt. Andrew Burningham]] | TBD | Notice contact: **Major [[Brittany Gunn]]** |
| Funding-source pattern: asset forfeiture + sole-source ordinance | TBD | Funding-source pattern: cooperative-purchasing vehicle + Board resolution |
LRPD is the largest documented Flock customer in the corpus by camera count (~6× Conway's), by per-year cost (~6×), and by deployment age (since 2020 vs Conway's 2025). It is also the corpus's primary example of Flock LPR cameras tasked to an *operational* Real-Time Crime Center — see [[Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC)]] and [[Fusus]] for the RTCC integration target.
LRPD also documents a **Master Service Agreement § 4.4 that expressly incorporates the [[Arkansas Automatic License Plate Reader System Act]]** — making the LRPD Flock MSA the corpus's clearest documentary anchor for Flock contractual acceptance of state ALPR-statute terms (150-day retention cap; OMV/ACIC/NCIC/FBI comparison-only; audit-log discipline). See [[Flock LPR Renewal (Resolution 16846)]] for full contract analysis.
The LRPD-Flock relationship reveals additional Flock personnel beyond the Arkansas-sales subset documented in Conway and Fayetteville: **Shane Hanna** (Insight Public Sector sales contact on the OMNIA quote) and the Major **[[Brittany Gunn]]** Notice-contact relationship on the LRPD MSA.
The Tier-3 archived Arkansas Times reporting on the LRPD Flock renewal (archived 2026-05-19 in `web archive/2026-05-19/arktimes.com/`) reports the camera count as **116**; the corpus Tier-1 documents (Resolution 16,846 and the Insight Public Sector quote) report **115**. The discrepancy is noted on [[Flock LPR Renewal (Resolution 16846)]]; the corpus figure controls in the wiki.
## Arkansas State Police — the corpus's first non-Flock procurement (2026-06-05 batch 1)
On 2026-06-05, the [[Arkansas State Police]] produced batch 1 of its rolling FOIA response (Item 1 / Fiscal Section / procurement records). The headline analytical finding: **ASP did NOT select Flock.** ASP procured **ELSAG ALPR Systems** from [[Leonardo US Cyber and Security Solutions, LLC]] (via reseller [[John Wright Associates, Inc.]]) through State Term Contract 4600055190, drawn against a Texas Region 14 ESC NCPA cooperative-purchasing contract. Two POs documented: $481K (2024-08-19) for the initial system and $18.5K (2025-02-24) for additional cameras. See [[_overview|the ASP `2026-06-05-batch-1-fiscal` production overview]].
This is **the corpus's first documented Arkansas LE-agency ALPR procurement that did not select Flock**. Flock's documented Arkansas footprint remains four jurisdictions (Conway PD, Fayetteville PD courtship, LRPD, PCSO); ASP is the fifth Arkansas LE jurisdiction in the corpus but the first to operate a non-Flock ALPR platform. *Observation, distinct from the record:* the ASP outcome indicates Flock's Arkansas LE-market dominance is not exclusive — ELSAG (Italian-parented; Greensboro NC US operations) has the corpus's first documented Arkansas state-LE-agency win.
| Conway PD | Fayetteville PD | Little Rock PD | Pulaski County SO | **Arkansas State Police** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 Flock Falcon cameras since 2025 | Active courtship; no executed contract | 115 Flock Falcon cameras since 2020 | 6 Flock Falcon cameras since 2023 | **ELSAG cameras (25+ F4 base + Street Sentry components); deployment from 2025** |
| $180,000 / 3 years ($60K/yr) | Proposed ~$435,000 / 3 years | $690,000 / 2 years ($345K/yr) | $36,900 / 2-3 years (~$18K/yr) | **$500K total (Term Contract drawn fully)** |
| Asset-forfeiture funded (Ord. O-25-09) | TBD | General fund | General fund | **Federal ARPA pass-through (A.0960.ARPERR)** |
| 30-day retention | TBD | 30-day retention | 30-day retention | **Customer-controlled; retention period not yet documented** |
| Reseller: direct Flock | Direct sales pitched | Insight Public Sector (OMNIA Partners) | Direct Flock (no reseller) | **John Wright Associates (Texas Region 14 ESC / NCPA)** |
| Procurement track: sole-source language laundering | TBD | Cooperative-purchasing vehicle | Competitive RFP through ARBid | **Cooperative-purchasing vehicle (NCPA)** |
The ASP procurement extends the **[[Cooperative Purchasing Vehicle]]** track now documented at LRPD and ASP — making it the corpus's most-common procurement-track class for surveillance-adjacent buys.
## Pulaski County (PCSO) — the fourth jurisdiction footprint (#26-365)
The [[_overview|`#26-365`]] production from the Pulaski County Government adds a fourth documented Arkansas jurisdiction: **[[Pulaski County Sheriff's Office]]**. Per Contract #6764 (executed 2023-11-28), PCSO leases **6 Flock Falcon cameras** at **$3,000/camera/year × 6 = $18,000/year recurring** + $977.63 one-time startup, on a 24-month initial term (per the Order Form) / 3-year initial term (per the Award Letter, August 21, 2023 – July 20, 2026). **Contract total $36,900** per the executed MSA Order Form.
| Conway PD | Fayetteville PD | Little Rock PD | **Pulaski County SO** |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 Flock Falcon cameras since 2025 | Active courtship; no executed contract | 115 Flock Falcon cameras since 2020 | **6 Flock Falcon cameras since 2023** |
| $180,000 / 3 years ($60K/yr) | Proposed ~$435,000 / 3 years | $690,000 / 2 years ($345K/yr) | **$36,900 / 2-3 years (~$18K/yr)** |
| Asset-forfeiture funded (Ord. O-25-09) | TBD | General fund (Account 105225-63360) | **General fund (Account 3015-0400-3073)** |
| 30-day retention | TBD | 30-day retention | **30-day retention** |
| Reseller: direct Flock | Direct sales pitched | Reseller: Insight Public Sector (OMNIA Partners) | **Direct Flock (no reseller)** |
| Notice contact: [[Lt. Andrew Burningham]] | TBD | Notice contact: Major [[Brittany Gunn]] | **Notice contact: [[Joe Garza]]** |
| Procurement track: sole-source language laundering ([[Sole-Source Procurement Language Avoidance]]) | TBD | Cooperative-purchasing vehicle ([[Cooperative Purchasing Vehicle]]) | **[[Competitive RFP Procurement (Arkansas Counties)|Competitive RFP through ARBid]]** |
PCSO is the **smallest documented Flock customer** in the corpus by camera count and contract value — and the **first competitively-bid Arkansas Flock procurement**. The RFP-23-003 procurement is also the corpus's first documented Flock head-to-head competition against [[Utility Associates]], [[John Wright Associates, Inc.]], and [[Insight LPR, LLC]]. Flock won unanimously across 5 PCSO evaluators with a composite score of 100/100 (vs. Utility 45, John Wright 35, Insight LPR 20).
PCSO is also the corpus's second documented [[The Genetec-to-Flock Pre-Flock Transition|Genetec-to-Flock transition]] (after Conway): PCSO operated a [[SkyCop, Inc.]]-installed [[Genetec, Inc.]] AutoVu LPR system from February 2021 (federally PSN-grant-funded) before transitioning to Flock in 2023.
The Pulaski County-Flock relationship reveals two additional Flock personnel: **[[Tom Dull]]** (Territory Sales Manager who submitted the original April 2023 bid; succeeded August 1, 2023) and **[[Philip Nanni]]** (Territory Sales Manager who took over the account and finalized the contract) — plus **[[Mark Smith (Flock Safety General Counsel)|Mark Smith]]** (Flock General Counsel; DocuSign-countersigned the executed Order Form 2023-11-28).
