# Little Rock Police Department Municipal police department of the [[City of Little Rock]], headquartered at 700 W. Markham Street, with technology and headquarters operations at 615 W. Markham. Its surveillance and investigative-technology procurement for FY2024–2025 is documented in the `CLR-2026-778` production ([[_overview]]). LRPD operates a **[[Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC)]]** that several of these systems feed. > [!info] Cross-corpus: an ELSAG bid to displace Flock at LRPD (Dec 2025) > The 2026-07-07 [[Arkansas State Police]] internal-comms production shows Leonardo/[[ELSAG ALPR Systems|ELSAG]] using ASP Lt. Overton's relationship to pitch [[Street Sentry (ELSAG Solar ALPR)|Street Sentry]] to LRPD as a Flock alternative — a 105-camera comparison projecting *"a $945,000 savings over Flock over the course of 5 years,"* with Overton brokering the introduction (*"I've got a good contact over there… they'll be interested due to concerns that have come up recently"*) ([[Leonardo ELSAG Vendor Coordination and Procurement]], Tier-1 corpus, `RE_ LIttle Rock PD.msg`). LRPD's response is not in the ASP sent-mail set; the "concerns" are unspecified. > [!info] ACIN names LRPD as a development partner > ACIN's May 2026 executive overview says the statewide incident-data initiative was "Developed through a partnership between the 6th Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney's Office and the Little Rock Police Department" ([[ACIN Executive Overview 2026-05-15]], p. 1). ACIN's produced biography says Executive Director [[Casey P. Clark]] retired from LRPD after 30 years as a Major and Division Commander ([[Casey P. Clark Executive Biography]], pp. 1-2). The first batch includes no partnership agreement, LRPD implementation record, participant roster, funding record, or technical allocation of responsibility. ## Command and units (as named in this corpus) - **Chief of Police:** [[Heath Helton]] (signs the 2024 ACIC payment authorization and the Guardian Alliance Account Activation Request). The 2022 Fusus proposal was addressed to an earlier "Chief [[Wayne Bewley]]"; LRPD's chief through the bulk of this production (2024–2025) is Helton. - **Executive Bureau (Assistant Chiefs):** [[Troy Ellison]], [[Micheal Miller]]. - **Headquarters Division (Majors):** [[Ty Tyrrell]] (2023-2024 era), [[Jonathan Prater]] (2025 era), [[Christna Plummer]] (Major; notice contact on the [[NICE Systems]] agreement); [[Brittany Gunn]] (Major; notice contact on the Flock MSA); Lieutenants [[Natalie Ball]], [[Kenneth Baker]] (acting commanders at various dates). - **Training Division:** [[Cody Miller]] (Major) — authored the 2024 transition memo from Background Solutions LLC to [[Guardian Alliance Technologies]] for background investigations. - **Technology & Equipment Unit:** [[Courtney Bewley]] (Lieutenant / Commander; badge #33426) — the recurring signatory on technology renewals (Flock, Motorola Watchguard, Utility, Fleetio, First Arriving). - **Real-Time Crime Center:** [[James Phillips]] (Sergeant) — originates the Flock renewal memo. - **Investigations:** Detective [[William High]] and Detective [[Loni Lichti]] (Cellebrite certified operators; the two LRPD operators identified by Sgt. [[Stephanie Whitaker]]'s 2024 renewal memo); Sgt. [[Stephanie Whitaker]] (Cellebrite renewal memo author); Lt. [[John Trent]] (memo recipient); Special Investigations Division, Major Crimes Division, Gun Crimes Intelligence Unit (i2 link-analysis users per Mullins-Sanders i2 memo). - **LRPD Vice Squad:** the operational user-group for [[Callyo]] covert-communications subscription. - **LRPD Community Response Team (CRT):** social-worker-embedded program funded by ARPA; uses Apricot 360 case management. - **Administrative Services / Finance:** [[Latreasa Mullins-Sanders]] (Administrative Services Finance Manager; the single most-recurring LRPD signature in this production). ## Surveillance & investigative-technology stack (this production) - [[Flock Safety, Inc.]] — Falcon **automatic license plate readers** (115 cameras; operational since 2020) → [[Flock LPR Renewal (Resolution 16846)]] - [[Cellebrite]] — **mobile-device forensic extraction / phone unlocking** (UFED/Inseyets + lab "Advanced Services") → [[Cellebrite Advanced Services Agreement]] - [[NICE Systems]] — **NICE Investigate** digital-evidence-management cloud → [[NICE Investigate (MRA and Order 00479378)]] - [[Fusus]] (an [[Axon Enterprise, Inc.]] company) — real-time-crime-center video/data integration & community camera registry - [[SoundThinking]] (formerly ShotSpotter) — **gunshot detection** (operational since 2018) + CaseBuilder - [[Motorola Solutions]] — Watchguard M500 in-car video (MVR) + cloud evidence storage - [[Callyo]] — covert / undercover communications - [[i2 Group]] — intelligence **link analysis** (Analyst's Notebook + iBase) - [[Guardian Alliance Technologies]] — applicant background investigations - [[NetMotion]] — mobile VPN for secure CJIS data / video offload from vehicles - [[Utility Associates]] — Rocket Modems + Polaris in-vehicle connectivity (225 patrol vehicles) State systems referenced: the **Arkansas Crime Information Center (ACIC)** warrant/plate/gun query backbone ([[ACIC NCIC Hot-List Feed]]); LRPD operations are governed by [[CJIS Compliance]] requirements. ## Roles in this corpus The **procuring agency** for the surveillance stack. Procurement is executed by the City through the Department of Finance, but the operational need, sole-source justifications, and renewal memos originate in LRPD (Technology & Equipment Unit and the RTCC). ## In PDFOI-2026-1874 (LRPD Flock emails) The `PDFOI-2026-1874` production ([[2026-06 Little Rock PD PDFOI-2026-1874 FOIA Response]]) is LRPD's first **operational** email production, complementing the procurement-focused `CLR-2026-778` corpus and adding day-to-day detail on how the stack is run. - **Dual RTCC stack:** LRPD operates two real-time-crime-center platforms in parallel — [[Flock Safety, Inc.]] for LPR hot-lists and searches, and [[Fusus]] (Axon FususOne) as its RTCC/ALPR/BWC integration layer ([[Flock-Axon API Dispute and the Dual RTCC Stack]], Emails 1-24.pdf pp. 75-76; Emails 25-35.pdf pp. 476-560). The two vendors' July 24, 2025 API split therefore directly affected LRPD's interoperability ([[Flock-Axon API Dispute and the Dual RTCC Stack]], Emails 36-63.pdf pp. 789-796). - **RTCC as a Flock Alert Owner:** the Real-Time Crime Center holds its own Flock hot-list account, `[email protected]`, which appears as a first-class "Alert Owner" on many hot-list overlaps ([[Flock Deconfliction Advisories and the LRPD Sharing Network]], Emails 36-63.pdf p. 1456; Emails 25-35.pdf pp. 1167-1398). - **Regional Arkansas hot-list network:** deconfliction advisories place LRPD inside a multi-agency Flock hot-list-sharing network spanning [[North Little Rock Police Department]], [[Sherwood Police Department]], Springdale, Pine Bluff, Morrilton, and Haskell PDs, the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office, and the Arkansas State Police, with out-of-state and fusion-center reach (e.g., the Missouri Information Analysis Center) ([[Flock Deconfliction Advisories and the LRPD Sharing Network]], Emails 36-63.pdf pp. 1454-1589; Emails 25-35.pdf pp. 658-661). - **sUAS / drone unit:** LRPD runs an active small-unmanned-aircraft (drone) program within the Technology & Equipment Unit, with quarterly training and in-service instruction, led by Lt. [[Courtney Bewley]] with Sgt. [[James Phillips]] co-leading, and is upfitting specialized vehicles for the unit ([[LRPD sUAS Drone Unit]], Emails 36-63.pdf pp. 1558-1559). - **Camera expansion stalled in permitting:** roughly 12 paid-for Flock cameras sat uninstalled for about a year due to a City of Little Rock permitting bottleneck (a single permit reviewer), described internally as devices LRPD has "NEVER been able to access" ([[Flock LPR Deployment Expansion and Permitting Delays]], Emails 1-24.pdf p. 148). - **Exact directional nomenclature recovered:** the same source supplies sixteen device-level corridor/direction names—twelve permitting/relocation positions and four maintenance/support positions—but no latitude/longitude fields. The visually verified register is at [[Flock LPR Deployment Expansion and Permitting Delays]] and [[Arkansas ALPR Camera Coordinates and Directional Nomenclature]]. ## Notes - Many of these systems explicitly route to or fund the **RTCC** (the Flock renewal, i2, and Utility memos all cite RTCC use or RTCC funding accounts) — making the RTCC the integrating hub of LRPD's surveillance architecture. See [[Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC)]] and the synthesis [[Competing ALPR Vendors and the Real-Time Crime Center]]. - **LRPD staffing (per the Guardian Alliance Account Activation Request, 2024-07-08):** **705 total agency personnel; 595 authorized sworn strength; 516 actual sworn officers.** The corpus's clearest documentary anchor for LRPD staffing levels. The 79-officer gap between authorized (595) and actual (516) indicates LRPD was running approximately 13% understaffed against authorized sworn strength as of mid-2024. - **One additional vendor surfaced beyond the initial inventory:** [[CovertTrack Group, Inc]] — a covert GPS vehicle-tracking subscription ($3,000/yr for 5 stealth trackers). The estimate is in the production but unsigned; whether the procurement was consummated is not documented in `CLR-2026-778`.
