# Celeste Phillips Conway PD personnel in the [[Conway PD Command Admin Cohort]] (one of the 11 CPD addresses identified by the [[2026-05 Bounce-Scope Diagnostic]] header scan). Email `[email protected]`. Recipient of Lt. Burningham's 2026-01-06 forward of the Flock past-due-balance notice with the single-line escalation "**Have they been paid?**" — implying Phillips owns or routes the agency's accounts-payable processing for the Flock contract on the CPD side. ## Role and affiliations - Title: not confirmed in the corpus. - Employer: [[Conway Police Department]]. - Functional role (inferred from the [[Flock Safety Past Due Balance INV-81961]] forward): financial / billing escalation point inside CPD. Whether this is a formal admin title (Records Manager, Office Manager, Financial Clerk) or a delegated responsibility under a different formal role is open. ## Appearances in the corpus - [[Flock Safety Past Due Balance INV-81961]] — 2026-01-06 14:35 UTC: Burningham forwards the Flock past-due notice to Phillips with "Have they been paid?" - Bundled in [[Conway PD Command Admin Cohort]] header-scan total (~102 messages across 11 addresses). ## Notes - Open question: did Phillips kick the past-due notice up to City Finance, or resolve it inside CPD? The corpus does not show her reply or subsequent action. A closer review of the `2026-01-06` to `2026-02-06` correspondence may surface a follow-up. - Her position is structurally important to the investigation: she is the actual locus of payment authorization for what Chief Harris described as an asset-forfeiture-funded acquisition. Tracing the funding-source authorization runs through her or whoever she escalates to.
