# LPR Report First Half 2025 The `PD-2026-354` copy of the **statutorily required semi-annual LPR statistical report**, authored by **Lt. Andrew Burningham** on **July 1, 2025**, addressed to the **Office of Professional Responsibility**. A second version of this report — reporting a different period — was produced in `PD-2026-477`; see [[LPR Report First Half 2025 (PD-2026-477 Copy)]] and the contradiction callout below. Discloses fleet size, hot-list configuration, reads, hits, and "successful outcomes" for the reporting period. The only operational-usage document in the production that names a body — Burningham as author, OPR as recipient — and quantifies the LPR system's actual policing output. ## What's inside Header (verbatim): > Date: July 1, 2025 > To: Office of Professional Responsibility > From: Lt. Andrew Burningham > Re: Semi-Annual License Plate Reader Report Body (verbatim, lightly cleaned): > The Conway Police Department has 6 stationary license plate readers installed since 2023 and working through the present with one company. An additional 20 with a different company have been ordered. In the time between January 1, 2025, and the present a total of 8 of those have been installed and working. The LPR Camera compares license plate reads to hotlists, as indicated below, along with local lists generated by Conway PD officers. The camera is currently connected to a server that is owned and operated by the Conway Police Department. > > NCIC The hotlist provided daily by ACIC includes all stolen vehicles, and license plates in the United States, as tracked by NCIC. > > CPD hotlist Officers can manually enter license plates into the system, relevant to investigations. > > From January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024, the Conway Police Department system of 6 stationary LPR "read" a total of 6,316,810 license plates. A total of 2,007 "Hits" recorded in the same period. It is not possible at this time to enumerate a complete total of how many of the hits confirmed by officer nor how many resulted in arrest as the data is not available with the current system, however a total of 3 successful outcomes were logged. No misreads indicated during the listed time. > [!contradiction] Two versions of the H1 2025 semi-annual LPR report > `PD-2026-354` and `PD-2026-477` each contain a document dated **July 1, 2025**, from **Lt. Andrew Burningham** to the **Office of Professional Responsibility**, titled **"Semi-Annual License Plate Reader Report."** The two are substantially the same document, but their statistical paragraphs report different reporting periods and different figures. > > **`PD-2026-354`** — `raw/conway-pd/PD-2026-354/LPR Report First half 2025.docx`: > > "From January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024, the Conway Police Department system of 6 stationary LPR 'read' a total of 6,316,810 license plates. A total of 2,007 'Hits' recorded in the same period. … however a total of 3 successful outcomes were logged." > > **`PD-2026-477`** — `raw/conway-pd/PD-2026-477/Memo first half of 2025.docx`: > > "From January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025, the Conway Police Department system of 14 stationary LPR 'read' a total of 7,458,633 license plates. A total of 3,327 'Hits' recorded in the same period. … however a total of 4 successful outcomes were logged." > > Both documents' opening paragraphs are the same and describe the 2025 state of the deployment ("An additional 20 with a different company have been ordered. In the time between January 1, 2025, and the present a total of 8 of those have been installed"). The `PD-2026-477` statistical paragraph is internally consistent with that opening — January–June 2025, a 14-camera system (6 pre-Flock + 8 Flock). This `PD-2026-354` statistical paragraph reports the January–June **2024** period on a **6**-camera system, which does not match its own 2025-facing opening paragraph. > > *Resolution:* the two are two versions of one report — the H1 2025 semi-annual report. The `PD-2026-477` copy is the operative, internally consistent version and reports the January–June 2025 figures; this `PD-2026-354` copy carries a statistical paragraph for the January–June 2024 period (the 6 pre-Flock cameras). Read together, the two documents disclose both periods: **H1 2024** — 6,316,810 reads / 2,007 hits / 3 logged outcomes; **H1 2025** — 7,458,633 reads / 3,327 hits / 4 logged outcomes. The same callout appears on [[LPR Report First Half 2025 (PD-2026-477 Copy)]]. ## Key takeaways - **Two LPR generations.** Six "stationary" LPRs from "one company" installed since 2023; twenty more from "a different company" (Flock, per [[Flock Safety Order Form and Contract]]) ordered with eight installed by the report date (2025-07-01). This corroborates the 2025-01-23 onboarding date in [[AR - Conway PD - Welcome to Flock!]] and dates the original (non-Flock) LPR vendor to ~2023 or earlier. The prior vendor is not named in any document surfaced in *this* production — but it **is** named in `PD-2026-477`: a Genetec AutoVu platform supplied by SkyCop, Inc. See [[SkyCop Estimate for Pre-Flock Genetec LPR System]] and [[SkyCop, Inc.]]. - **Local server, not vendor cloud, for the older fleet.** "The camera is currently connected to a server that is owned and operated by the Conway Police Department." This describes the **pre-Flock** infrastructure, not the Flock deployment (Flock's product is cloud-only). The first-vendor system is on-premise; Flock moves data to a vendor-controlled cloud. - **Hot-list configuration:** ACIC daily feed (which includes NCIC and "all stolen vehicles, and license plates in the United States") plus a "CPD hotlist" of officer-entered plates. ACIC = Arkansas Crime Information Center. The hotlist scope is broader than CPD Policy 800-32 contemplates — 800-32 lists ACIC, NCIC, OMV, and FBI Kidnapping/Missing Persons databases as in-scope hot lists; this report mentions only ACIC and the CPD-internal list. - **Volume (H1 2024, per the body):** **6,316,810 plate reads** over six months on the six older (Genetec) cameras. **2,007 hits** (read matched against the hot list). **3 logged "successful outcomes."** Approximately **3 outcomes / 2,007 hits = 0.15% hit-to-outcome conversion**, and **3 outcomes / 6.3M reads = ~1 in 2.1 million reads producing a documented successful outcome**. Treat this metric carefully — Burningham's report itself discloses that the system is incapable of confirming how many hits an officer confirmed or how many produced arrests; "3 successful outcomes" is a floor, not a complete count. The H1 2025 figures (7,458,633 reads / 3,327 hits / 4 outcomes) are in [[LPR Report First Half 2025 (PD-2026-477 Copy)]]. - **The reporting period in the body is January–June 2024, not 2025.** The cover and opening paragraph describe the 2025 state of the deployment (8 of the 20 Flock cameras installed during 2025), but the statistical paragraph reports "January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024" on a 6-camera system. This is not a simple typo: the `PD-2026-477` production contains a second version of this same July 1, 2025 report whose statistical paragraph reports the actual January–June 2025 period on a 14-camera system. See the contradiction callout above. The figures in *this* copy are the **H1 2024** figures. ## People and orgs mentioned - [[Lt. Andrew Burningham]] — author. - [[Conway Police Department]] — the agency operating the LPR system. - **Office of Professional Responsibility (CPD)** — recipient. (Anchored to [Conway PD org chart](../../../../web%20archive/2026-05-18/conwaypd.org/org-chart.md) as a Chief-direct unit under the Office of the Chief.) ## Concepts invoked - [[Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR)]] - [[CPD Policy 800-32 — License Plate Reader Vehicle Operations]] — the semi-annual reporting requirement (Section D.2) that this report fulfills. - [[Arkansas Automatic License Plate Reader System Act]] — § 12-12-1805, the statutory "practice and usage data" reporting requirement this report answers. - [[Hot List]] - [[ACIC NCIC Hot-List Feed]] ## Events documented - [[2025-07 Burningham Semi-Annual LPR Report]] — the writing of this report. ## Cross-references - [[LPR Report First Half 2025 (PD-2026-477 Copy)]] — the `PD-2026-477` version of this report; the contradiction callout above also appears there. - [[Flock Safety Order Form and Contract]] — the 20-camera order this report partially describes (8 of 20 installed by report date). - [[AR - Conway PD - Welcome to Flock!]] — the 2025-01-23 onboarding into the new (Flock) system. - [[SkyCop Estimate for Pre-Flock Genetec LPR System]] — the 2022 procurement record for the six pre-Flock cameras. - [[Flock Devices 2 (admin screenshot)]] — the deployed Flock camera inventory. ## Open questions / follow-ups 1. ~~**Pre-Flock vendor identity.**~~ **Resolved (2026-05-22):** the "one company" running the 6 cameras since 2023 is identified by the `PD-2026-477` production as a Genetec AutoVu platform supplied by SkyCop, Inc. of Memphis, Tennessee. See [[SkyCop Estimate for Pre-Flock Genetec LPR System]] and [[SkyCop, Inc.]]. 2. **Subsequent semi-annual reports.** CPD Policy 800-32 requires semi-annual reports kept on file for 18 months. `PD-2026-477` item F produced only a second copy of this H1 2025 report; the response letter states no completed H1 2026 report exists ([[Custodian Response Letter]], p. 4). An H2 2025 report has not surfaced in either production. 3. **Outcome metric integrity.** "3 successful outcomes" (H1 2024) is anchored against 2,007 hits and 6.3M reads; "4 successful outcomes" (H1 2025) against 3,327 hits and 7.46M reads. Whether these are meaningful denominators for cost-benefit analysis is an open question — but the ratios are what they are. 4. ~~**Year typo.**~~ **Resolved (2026-05-22):** the body's "January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024" is not a typo — it is the H1 2024 reporting period. The `PD-2026-477` production produced a second version of this report covering H1 2025 ([[LPR Report First Half 2025 (PD-2026-477 Copy)]]); the two are reconciled in the contradiction callout above. This copy's figures are H1 2024.
