# CPD Strategic Reporting to Mayor's Office — 2024-2025 Four documents covering Conway PD's reporting cadence to the Mayor's Office Chief of Staff: the 2023 End of Year Report, the 2024 State of the City contribution, the June 2025 CPD Future Goals update, and the July 2025 2nd Quarter Report. The LPR / Flock content in these documents is sparse but anchors two findings: **the cameras began operating before the ARDOT permits were issued**, and **the long-term plan is to grow the LPR network every 2-3 years**, with 26 cameras already deployed as of June 2025. ## What's inside | File | Date | From | To | Substance | |---|---|---|---|---| | `End of Year Report.pdf` | 2024-01-03 4:25 PM | Chief Chris Harris (then Interim Chief) | Felicia Rogers | The 2023 CPD Annual Report (32 pp PDF) — comprehensive statistics, divisions, and programs. The 2023 report does not specifically name Flock or LPR cameras in the year's narrative — the LPR pilot at that time was the pre-Flock SkyCop / Genetec program under [[William Tapley]] (see [[2023 Pre-Flock LPR Support Letter to ARDOT]]). | | `State of the City.pdf` | 2025-01-30 3:11 PM | Felicia Rogers | Helpdesk (City IT) | The bundled 2024 State of the City Year End Reports (~63 pp) compiled for the Mayor's Office page on the City website. Includes contributions from Mayor, Conway Regional Airport (Jacob Briley), Community Development & Diversity (Shawanna Rodgers), Finance (Tyler Winningham), Fire, Police, Parks. The Police section's content is part of the bundle but is not separately analyzed here — the document is broad-scope. | | `CPD Future Goals_2023.pdf` | 2025-06-23 1:26 PM | Chief Chris Harris | Felicia Rogers | Updated CPD vision and 5-year goals at Rogers's June 18, 2025 request. The document itself is the updated version (filename retains "2023" suffix from the previous version that was being updated). Six numbered goals: increase sworn officer count 138 → 145; replace aging vehicle fleet; add fleet technician; **continue expanding LPR camera network every 2-3 years (currently 26 cameras deployed)**; expand Community Crisis Response Teams 2 → 4; expand facilities | | `2nd Quarter Report.pdf` | 2025-07-07 2:11 PM | Chief Chris Harris | Felicia Rogers | The CPD 2025 Q2 quarterly report (~1 p memorandum). Notes: 5 new officers joined CPD in Q2; the 5th Avenue incident internal investigation is complete; violent crime down 11% YTD, property crime up 6% YTD; **"The installation of our license plate reader cameras is still underway across the city. While we are still awaiting a few permits from the state, the cameras that have already been installed are actively being used to support ongoing investigations."** | ### Key passages — LPR content, verbatim From the June 23, 2025 CPD Future Goals: > *4. We plan to continue expanding our license plate reader (LPR) camera network every 2-3 years. Currently, we have 26 cameras positioned throughout Conway, and they've been instrumental in solving cases ranging from homicides to vehicle break-ins. While many of our major roads are already covered, our long-term goal is to extend this technology to more areas of the city and enhance public safety.* From the July 7, 2025 2nd Quarter Report: > *The installation of our license plate reader cameras is still underway across the city. While we are still awaiting a few permits from the state, the cameras that have already been installed are actively being used to support ongoing investigations.* ## Key takeaways - **26 cameras were deployed in Conway by June 23, 2025.** Chief Harris's CPD Future Goals update records the count. This is more than the 20 cameras the original Capital Request priced ($9,400 × 20 = $188,000) and more than the 14 cameras the ARDOT permit eventually covered. The reconciliation runs through camera locations — 14 in state-highway right-of-way (ARDOT permits cover those); the remaining 12 in municipal / county / private right-of-way (other permitting authority or none). - **Cameras were operational before ARDOT permitting completed.** The July 7, 2025 quarterly report states that "the cameras that have already been installed are actively being used to support ongoing investigations" while permits from "the state" were still pending. ARDOT Permit P1948 issued December 31, 2025 — over five months later. Whether the cameras "actively being used" in July 2025 included any in state-highway right-of-way (where ARDOT permitting would be required pre-installation) is not directly resolved in this production. The simplest reading is that the cameras in non-state-right-of-way (12 of the eventual 26) were operating first, and the 14 ARDOT-permitted cameras came online after permitting. - **The 5-year plan is to continue expanding the LPR network every 2-3 years.** This is Chief Harris's stated strategic posture. The June 2025 deployment count of 26 is therefore a snapshot of an expanding network, not a steady-state. - **The Chief of Staff is the Mayor's-Office liaison for CPD strategic reports.** All four documents are addressed to Felicia Rogers. The cadence — End of Year Report (annual), 2nd Quarter Report (quarterly), Future Goals (on request) — is consistent across two years. ## People and orgs mentioned - [[Chris Harris]] — CPD Chief; Interim Chief in early 2024 ("Interim Police Chief" in the January 3 2024 email signature); full Chief by mid-2025. Author of all four documents. - [[Felicia Rogers]] — Chief of Staff; recipient of all four documents; the institutional liaison. - [[Conway Police Department]] - [[William Tapley]] — pre-Flock Chief (2023 LPR pilot context, not directly in these documents). ## Concepts invoked - [[Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR)]] — the 26-camera deployment. ## Cross-references - [[_overview]] (`FOIA-2026-127`). - [[ARDOT Right-of-Way Permitting — Case 941655 and Permit SP-08-2025-0036]] — the permitting trail for 14 of the 26 deployed cameras. - [[Flock LPR Cameras Capital Request]] (`FOIA-2026-125`) — the 20-camera capital request that started the procurement. ## Surveillance-PII handling The 2023 Annual Report (the `End of Year Report.pdf`) contains arrest and case statistics in aggregate form; nothing is reproduced from those statistics here. The State of the City compilation is publicly published; nothing in the wiki-reproducible content is sensitive. Officer cell phone numbers in email signatures are not reproduced. ## Open questions / follow-ups 1. **Reconciliation between the 26-camera deployment and the 14-camera ARDOT permit.** The location list for the remaining 12 cameras is the natural follow-on request — to Conway Engineering or to CPD directly. 2. **Which cameras were "actively being used" in July 2025 and whether any operated in state-highway right-of-way without ARDOT permitting.** The Conway PD's `PD-2026-354` Audit Logs Series (Apr 2025 – ) and the deployment-location data Joshua's `PD-2026-477` did not produce would be the next step in resolving this.
