# William Tapley Conway PD command personnel; **signatory as "Chief of Police"** on the 1/18/2023 revision (R3) of CPD Policy 800-32 ("License Plate Reader Vehicle Operations"). Email `[email protected]` per [[2026-05 Bounce-Scope Diagnostic]] header scan — still an active CPD address at the time of the FOIA production. Whether he remains a serving officer at a different rank, retired, or other is not visible in the corpus. ## Role and affiliations - Title (per 1/18/2023 policy approval): **Chief of Police**, Conway Police Department. - Successor: [[Chris Harris]] was appointed Chief in November 2024 per (primary public record, [Conway PD home](../../web%20archive/2026-05-18/conwaypd.org/home.md)). - Current status: unknown from corpus. ## Appearances in the corpus - [[AR - Conway PD - Welcome to Flock!]] — Embedded LPR policy attachment (CPD 800-32 R3) signed "William Tapley, Chief of Police" on the approval page, dated 1/18/2023. - [[2026-05 Bounce-Scope Diagnostic]] — Header-scan listing identifies `[email protected]` as one of the CPD command/admin email addresses present in the production (touch count not separately enumerated; bundled with the 11-address [[Conway PD Command Admin Cohort]]). ## Notes - Tapley signed CPD's LPR governing policy in early 2023; that policy is what every Flock-platform usage rule and audit-log retention requirement inside the corpus traces back to. He is therefore a foundational figure for the **policy** side of the investigation even if he is not the operational counterparty for the **procurement** side (Chief Harris). - Whether Tapley remained Chief between the policy signature (1/18/2023) and Harris's appointment (Nov 2024) — or whether someone else held the role in the interim — is a Tier-2 question (Conway PD historical press releases, Conway gov't records).
