# Van Buren JAG Grant-Funded Flock Cameras `ARDOT Financial Report Forms.pdf` is a 20-page state-administered block-grant packet. It documents one 2024 project for two Falcon LPR cameras and a later report recording `$1,072.25` toward a Condor Solar PTZ camera. ## Two Falcon LPR cameras The financial report records: > `"Flock Safety, INC. | 2 Falcon LPR Cameras W/ Services. | 8/14/2024 | $6,327.75"` (`ARDOT Financial Report Forms.pdf`, p. 1.) The quarterly report identifies the subrecipient as the `"City of Van Buren Police Department"`, gives a project period of August 1 through October 31, 2024, and lists `$7,400.00` in allocated funding (`ARDOT Financial Report Forms.pdf`, p. 11). The narrative says: > `"VBPD has purchased two additional Flock LPR Cameras which will be installed on two primary ingress/egress routes for our city, being State Highway 59 South and State Highway 162."` It then states: > `"This will add to our current total of eleven."` (`ARDOT Financial Report Forms.pdf`, p. 11.) The same packet says Flock was ready to schedule installation but ARDOT permitting was delaying the work (`ARDOT Financial Report Forms.pdf`, p. 12). The later Permit 1876 packet identifies the two sites and supplies their plan coordinates ([[Van Buren ARDOT Flock Permits 1866 and 1876]]). ## Planned sharing The six-month planning response states: > `"VBPD will add these new LPR Cameras to our current infrastructure and we will share the access and use of these devices with both in state law enforcement agencies and out of state agencies."` It continues that approved agencies would be able to receive alerts or enter suspect-vehicle descriptors (`ARDOT Financial Report Forms.pdf`, p. 12). This is a prospective program statement. The grant packet does not identify the agencies, sharing directions, dates, user accounts, permissions, hot lists, or later activity. ## Condor Solar PTZ expenditure A later financial report records: > `"Flock Safety, INC | 1 Condor Solar PTZ Camera | 1/31/2025 | $1,072.25"` and bears an authorized-official date of 2025-03-06 (`ARDOT Financial Report Forms.pdf`, p. 20). The associated `INV-57405` has a `$5,150.00` subtotal, a `$750.00` credit, and a `$4,413.88` balance for one solar video/PTZ camera and service ([[Van Buren Flock Invoices 2023-2026]], `Flock Invoice 01312025.pdf`, p. 1). The grant report therefore records only part of the invoice amount; it does not establish the source of the balance. ## Open questions - Federal award identifiers, award documents, approved budgets, reimbursement records, and proof of payment. - Installation, validation, acceptance, activation, and current status of the two LPRs and solar PTZ. - The device-level basis for the report's `"current total of eleven"`. - Actual sharing configuration and use after the prospective grant narrative.
