# James Phillips Sergeant assigned to the Real-Time Crime Center, Little Rock Police Department. **Originator of the 2025 Flock Safety Contract Renewal proposal** — the Phillips memo to Lt. [[Courtney Bewley]] on September 8, 2025 launched the procurement process that resulted in Resolution 16,846 (October 21, 2025). ## Role and affiliations - Sergeant, Real-Time Crime Center, [[Little Rock Police Department]]. - Reports through the RTCC operational chain to the Technology & Equipment Unit Commander (Lt. [[Courtney Bewley]]). ## Appearances in the corpus - **2025-09-08** — Authored the Flock Safety Contract Renewal memo: "The Department's current Flock Safety contracts have either expired or are nearing expiration. After several meetings with Flock representatives, a new contract is ready to proceed through the approval process. Previously, the Department managed three separate invoices throughout the year, the new contract consolidates these into a single annual invoice. The proposed contract covers a 24-month term, from May 18, 2025, through May 17, 2027. The total contract value is $690,000, with payments structured as follows: $345,000 due upon issuance of the purchase order, and $345,000 due on the first anniversary, May 18, 2026… Flock LPRs have proven to be an invaluable tool for the Department, significantly enhancing our operational capabilities. They help identify stolen vehicles, assist in locating suspects, and improve overall public safety. The system allows officers to respond more quickly to incidents, streamline investigations, and leverage data for strategic crime prevention initiatives, ultimately strengthening the Department's ability to serve and protect the community." (Tier-1 corpus, [[Flock LPR Renewal (Resolution 16846)]] — 2025.09.08 LRPD Memorandum) ## Notes - Phillips' RTCC assignment ties this procurement directly to the LRPD Real-Time Crime Center's operational scope; the 115 Flock cameras are operationally tasked to the RTCC, not to precincts. - The memo records the procedural change in contracting: three-invoice → single-invoice consolidation, and dropping the Flex LPR camera type ($35,000 savings).
