# AR - Conway PD - Welcome to Flock! The Flock onboarding-day email chain (2025-01-23). Brittney Hall (Flock Territory Sales) introduces Chief Chris Harris and Lt. Burningham to the Flock implementation team; Skylar Lindner (Flock Senior Project Manager - Core, Arkansas) walks through the 20-camera deployment plan; Melissa Lee (Flock Customer Success Manager) requests the agency's LPR policy. Burningham replies with the policy as an attachment. The single artifact that converts the executed contract into an active deployment. ## What's inside - Email thread on 2025-01-23 between Conway PD (Chris Harris, Andrew Burningham, Bob Blanchard) and Flock (Brittney Hall, Skylar Lindner, Melissa Lee, LaShaunda Stafford, Brittnie Hendrix, Aly Bolick). - Skylar Lindner's deployment summary: **20 cameras** total — **12 in DOT right-of-way**, **8 in City right-of-way**. - A list of the 12 DOT-right-of-way Flock device IDs and intersections (page 3 of extracted text). - Burningham's reply attaching **CPD Policy 800-32, "License Plate Reader Vehicle Operations,"** Effective Aug 30, 2013, Revision R3 dated 1/18/2023, 4 pages, approved by then-Chief **William Tapley**. ## Key takeaways - **Onboarding date is 2025-01-23**, the day Flock takes over from sales-handoff into project-management and customer-success. This date anchors the deployment-rollout timeline. - The deployment plan splits the 20 cameras across two right-of-way jurisdictions: - **12 DOT right-of-way** (Skylar Lindner asks Burningham to use a Flock template to "request access to install in the DOT right-of-way" from "the City Mayor or County Judge"). The 12 device IDs are F#001–F#014 (with gaps: F#005, F#006, F#007, F#008, F#009, F#010, F#012, F#014, and F#001–F#004 listed). Locations cluster along Skyline Dr, Harkrider St, Dave Ward Dr, Diane Ln, Oak St / Caskay Dr, Hwy 365 / Bronnie Ln, S Donaghey Ave, Hamilton St. - **8 City right-of-way** (locations not enumerated in this email; cross-reference [[Flock Devices 2 (admin screenshot)]]). - The "request access … from the City Mayor or County Judge" step implies the contract execution path did **not** go through the Mayor's Office. CPD signed the contract, then asked the Mayor's Office to grant permitting access via a Flock-provided template. This is consistent with the diagnostic finding that **zero Mayor's Office addresses** touch the production: the procurement was CPD-autonomous; the Mayor's Office was a downstream permission-granting party for DOT-right-of-way placement, not a contracting party. (See [[2026-05 Bounce-Scope Diagnostic]].) - The attached **CPD Policy 800-32** carries the formal LPR regime that the rest of the corpus operates inside: - **Retention: 150 days max** "in accordance with State Law" on the fixed LPRs or the LPR server, "and then automatically purged by the system. (41.3.9d)" The 150 days is CPD's policy ceiling; the 30-day retention on the Flock Order Form ([[Flock Safety Order Form and Contract]]) is below the policy cap. - **Statistical reporting: semi-annual** to the LPR supervisor, kept in the Patrol Administration Office for 18 months and accessible to the public on request. Reporting fields enumerated: plates scanned, hot list names, per-list confirmed matches/non-correlates/arrests. The [[LPR Report First Half 2025]] is the corpus's only surfaced instance of this required report. - **Data sharing**: "LPR Data captured by the department's LPRs may be shared with other law enforcement agencies if evidence of an offense is indicated." The threshold is "evidence of an offense indicated," which is narrower than the data-sharing pattern the corpus reveals (default-on national network, hot-list-based sharing with private parties — see [[Federal Searches CSV]], [[Home Depot Camera Sharing Series]], [[Escambia County FL SO Hot List Share]]). - **Approval signature on policy 800-32 is "William Tapley, Chief of Police."** Tapley appears in the [[2026-05 Bounce-Scope Diagnostic]] header scan as one of the 11 CPD command/admin addresses. Whether he is current Chief, former Chief, or another rank — and the date he signed the policy — is the next [[Conway PD Command Admin Cohort]] question. The 1/18/2023 R3 revision date and current Chief Harris's Nov 2024 appointment mean Tapley signed under a different administration. ## People and orgs mentioned - [[Lt. Andrew Burningham]] — CPD Narcotics Division, Lieutenant #428 per signature block; primary Flock administrator on Conway side. - [[Chris Harris]] — Conway Police Chief; primary recipient of the welcome email. - [[Bob Blanchard]] — CPD, CC'd on the onboarding chain. - [[William Tapley]] — signed CPD Policy 800-32 as "Chief of Police" on its 1/18/2023 revision. - [[Brittney Hall]] — Flock Territory Sales Manager. - [[Skylar Lindner]] — Flock Senior Project Manager - Core, Arkansas. - [[Melissa Lee]] — Flock Customer Success Manager. - [[LaShaunda Stafford]] — Flock team. - [[Brittnie Hendrix]] — Flock team. - [[Aly Bolick]] — Flock team. - [[Conway Police Department]] - [[Flock Safety, Inc.]] - [[Mayor's Office (Conway)]] — referenced as permission-grantor for DOT right-of-way, not as contracting party. ## Concepts invoked - [[Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR)]] - [[CPD Policy 800-32 — License Plate Reader Vehicle Operations]] - [[Flock Audit Logs and Retention]] - [[Hot List]] — defined in CPD Policy 800-32 to include ACIC, NCIC, FBI Kidnapping and Missing Persons database, Office of Motor Vehicles data. ## Events documented - [[2025-01 Flock Onboarding Meeting]] — 2025-01-23 sales-to-deployment handoff. ## Cross-references - [[Flock Safety Order Form and Contract]] — the executed contract this onboarding implements. - [[LPR Report First Half 2025]] — the semi-annual report this policy requires. - [[Flock Devices 2 (admin screenshot)]] — 20-camera placement as deployed. - [[Conway PD Project Update - ARDOT Permits Series]] — the DOT-vs-City right-of-way permitting trail for the 12 DOT / 8 City camera split. ## Open questions / follow-ups 1. **William Tapley's status.** The policy is signed by Tapley as Chief in 1/18/2023; the [[Conway PD Command Admin Cohort]] header scan shows `[email protected]` as a present-day CPD address. Confirm whether he is now a retired-rank-retaining email, an actively serving lower-ranking officer, or stepped aside for Harris (appointed Nov 2024 per Tier-2 archive). 2. **DOT-right-of-way permitting docs.** The Flock template for requesting access "from the City Mayor or County Judge" implies a permitting paper trail outside CPD. Records review watches for the executed permitting requests; if absent from the corpus, file a supplemental FOIA to City of Conway and Faulkner County. 3. **CPD Policy 800-32 itself** is now part of the wiki citation chain; its full text in the OCR'd extract (pages 5–8) can be quoted for any deliverable. The attachment is preserved at `extracted/conway-pd/PD-2026-354/AR - Conway PD - Welcome to Flock!_attachments/800-32 - License Plate Reader Vehicle Operations .doc` if present (verify next pass).
