# SkyCop, Inc.
A Memphis, Tennessee surveillance-systems integrator documented in three Arkansas jurisdictions. SkyCop supplied Genetec AutoVu systems to Conway and Pulaski County, while North Little Rock records show an earlier 2018 foundation, repeated expansion, and continued Genetec/CloudRunner licensing alongside Flock through 2025.
Address of record in the corpus: SkyCop, Inc., 3736 Getwell Cove, Memphis, TN 38118; Tennessee contractor License #1899.
## North Little Rock — expansion and coexistence, 2018-2025
NLRPD's 43-page packet begins with Genetec Security Center 5.7, Active Directory integration, one federated connection, a hot-list updater, and five SkyCop enclosures in late 2018. It then documents seven more enclosures in 2020, five in 2021, separate five- and ten-enclosure acquisitions in 2022, 43-camera Genetec maintenance renewals, and two-unit CloudRunner subscriptions through 2025 ([[North Little Rock SkyCop and Genetec Procurement 2018-2025]], `SkyCop FOIA Documents_Redacted.pdf`, pp. 2, 4, 6, 16, 21, 26-29, 31, 33, 39, 41, 43).
The separate [[North Little Rock SkyCop LPR Location List]] contains 34 nonblank labels, one of which is expressly `Main/18th-NB-Flock`. That entry and the parallel Flock inventory prevent treating the titled list as a clean one-vendor current-state inventory.
## People
- **Joe Patty** — the SkyCop sales representative named on estimate EST-405 (dated 2022-04-11). A single corpus appearance is not enough for a separate person page.
## Roles in this corpus
- **Pre-Flock LPR integrator.** SkyCop quoted Conway PD a complete fixed license-plate-reader system in April 2022: Genetec Security Center 5.10 with the AutoVu LPR module, LPR camera enclosures (each holding "(2) Genetec Readers"), pole-mount installation, an LTE router, power supplies, and Genetec Advantage annual maintenance — a total of **$48,930.00**. The maintenance line is quantity 6 ("per year per camera") and the three enclosures hold six readers, accounting for the six "stationary" cameras the Conway PD semi-annual LPR reports describe as "installed since 2023 … with one company." See [[SkyCop Estimate for Pre-Flock Genetec LPR System]].
- **Genetec channel partner.** SkyCop is the integrator and reseller; the platform it sold — Genetec Security Center / AutoVu — is manufactured by Genetec. The corpus contains no direct correspondence with Genetec itself; SkyCop is the contracting counterparty for the pre-Flock system.
## Pulaski County (PCSO) — the second Arkansas jurisdiction (Contract 6228)
The [[pulaski-county-government/26-365/_overview|`#26-365`]] production from Pulaski County Government documents SkyCop's **second Arkansas LE-agency relationship**: an **executed $75,287.29 SkyCop, Inc. Invoice (#8381, dated 09/08/2021)** for a Genetec AutoVu LPR system deployed at PCSO, funded by the federal PSN18 grant. See [[SkyCop Invoice 8381 — Pulaski County Genetec System]].
The PCSO procurement is structurally similar to the Conway PD estimate but is **fully executed** (PCSO actually purchased what SkyCop offered) and is **federally-grant-funded** (PCSO paid via DOJ BJA pass-through grants rather than out of municipal general funds):
| Dimension | Conway PD (2022 estimate) | PCSO (2021 executed invoice) |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | Genetec Security Center 5.10 + AutoVu | Genetec Security Center + AutoVu (matching) |
| Camera configuration | 3 LPR enclosures with 2 readers each = 6 fixed cameras | 3 SC-Skycop enclosures with 2 LPR each = 6 fixed cameras |
| Total | $48,930 (estimate) | $75,287.29 (executed invoice) |
| Funding | Not documented | Federal DOJ BJA PSN18 grant ($75,500 via Arkansas DFA-IGS, see [[Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration — Office of Intergovernmental Services]]) |
| Mobile component | None in the estimate | **Plus** 1 mobile patrol-car LPR system in Patrol Unit 913 (Genetec AutoVu Patroller; $12,580 additional) |
| ARC server | Not in the estimate | **Plus** 1 ARC server for plate-read storage at PCSO main office |
| Installation date | "Installed since 2023" per LPR reports (estimate not signed; assume mid-late 2022 / early 2023 installation) | **02/07/2021** per the DFA-IGS Equipment Inventory Report |
| Operational outcome | Pre-Flock LPR operations through 2024 (transitioned to Flock per Ord. O-25-09) | Pre-Flock LPR operations through ~2023 (transitioned to Flock per RFP-23-003); 1,386,000 plates scanned by 12/31/2021 |
The two jurisdictions' parallel deployment of the **same vendor's same platform** is documented synthesis material in [[The Genetec-to-Flock Pre-Flock Transition]].
## Notes
- The estimate is dated 2022-04-11; the pre-Flock cameras were "installed since 2023" per [[LPR Report First Half 2025]] — an estimate-to-installation gap of roughly a year. The estimate is unsigned, and the corpus contains no executed SkyCop contract or payment record for Conway; how the ~$48,930 procurement was authorized and funded is not in the record.
- **Cross-jurisdiction note.** The estimate's LPR-enclosure line item states the offered hardware is the "same device as North Little Rock PD" — SkyCop's own record that North Little Rock PD operated the same Genetec LPR enclosure. North Little Rock PD remains a candidate for a future records request.
- The PCSO documentation includes Pulaski County's executed Customer PO **21-000104** dated 09/08/2021. The Sales Rep on the invoice is identified only by initials "JP" — possibly the same Joe Patty named on the Conway PD estimate; possibly a different sales rep. The corpus does not resolve this.
- SkyCop and its Genetec AutoVu platform are the second non-Flock ALPR vendor documented in the corpus, alongside the Axon Fleet 3 trial at [[Fayetteville Police Department]]. Unlike Flock's camera-as-a-service subscription, the SkyCop/Genetec system is a purchased, on-premises platform — the LPR reports describe it running on "a server that is owned and operated by the Conway Police Department"; PCSO's invoice includes a similar ARC server purchase ($1,700).
