# SkyCop, Inc. A Memphis, Tennessee surveillance-systems integrator, and the vendor of the Conway Police Department's pre-Flock automatic-license-plate-reader system. SkyCop appears in the corpus through a single document — a 2022 sales estimate (EST-405) for a **Genetec AutoVu** license-plate-reader platform, produced by Conway PD under item L of `PD-2026-477` ([[SkyCop Estimate for Pre-Flock Genetec LPR System]]). The pre-Flock LPR system the wiki previously attributed only to "Genetec" is a Genetec AutoVu platform sold and installed by SkyCop, Inc. Address of record in the corpus: SkyCop, Inc., 3736 Getwell Cove, Memphis, TN 38118; Tennessee contractor License #1899. ## People - **Joe Patty** — the SkyCop sales representative named on estimate EST-405 (dated 2022-04-11). A single corpus appearance; no entity page, per the AGENTS.md person-page rule for thin evidence. ## 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 [[_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 is an anticipated FOIA target in `PLAN.md`. - 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).
