# Jason French
Captain in the Fayetteville Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division. French announced the Axon ALPR trial's start, extension, and conclusion to all sworn officers, and authored the October 2025 briefing that carried Flock Safety's pricing tiers to the Chief and Deputy Chief. His mailbox is the production's `CID Admin - ALPR.pdf` (242 pages). He announced a coming retirement during the corpus period.
## Role and affiliations
- Captain, Criminal Investigations Division, [[Fayetteville Police Department]] (`
[email protected]`).
## Appearances in the corpus
- [[Axon Fleet 3 ALPR Trial]] — reported "over 7,500 plates" read in the first five hours; announced the trial's extension "until April 22nd" and its conclusion on 2026-04-23; noted FPD's first stolen-vehicle hit.
- [[Flock Safety Procurement Courtship]] — authored the 2025-10-16 "Flock" briefing to Chief Reynolds and Deputy Chief Scott, conveying the three Flock pricing tiers, the negotiated $145,000/year package, and a ~$435,000 three-year project estimate; recommended FPD "crawl before we walk."
- [[Axon RTCC and Surveillance Ecosystem Pitch]] — participated in Axon "Outpost Reference Sync" calls about fixed LPR cameras.
## Notes
French and Lt. [[Christopher Moad]] jointly fronted the Axon trial to the department. French's framing of the Flock project — pacing it, sizing it down, deferring a decision to "mid-2026 at the earliest" — is the clearest statement of FPD's procurement posture in the corpus.
