# West Memphis ARDOT Permit 1987 and Camera Locations ARDOT issued Traffic Control Device Permit 1987 on 2026-05-14, with an expiration date of 2027-05-14. The permit authorizes `"Installation of 3 ALPRs in West Memphis, Arkansas"` on Highway 70 Section 20, Highway 77 Section 5, and Highway 191 Section 1 (`P1987, ALPR, D1, Crittenden County, West Memphis Police Department - Approved as Noted - TSMO Division Reviewed - 5-14-2026.pdf`, p. 1). ## Exact permitted points | Plan label | Corridor and direction | Exact coordinate | Plan location | |---|---|---|---| | P#003 | AR-77 @ East Service Rd SB | `35.166133, -90.184821` | pp. 5, 8 | | P#004 | N 7th St @ Interstate Center Dr SB | `35.163392, -90.176076` | pp. 5, 9 | | P#006 | AR70 SB @ East Broadway Blvd | `35.146299, -90.140794` | pp. 5, 10 | The location table labels all three products `"LPR + VIDEO"` and identifies existing light or traffic-signal poles (same file, p. 5). The map preserves the three coordinate strings at the `issued_signed_permit` stage; it does not convert them into as-built or current-inventory records. ## Agency purpose statement Chief [[Harvey Taylor III]] wrote on 2026-05-04 that `"The city of West Memphis has purchased several \"LPR/PTZ\" cameras to be installed on State Highways around the city"` and represented that the cameras and data would be used by local sheriff/police departments (`Signed letter.pdf`, p. 1). A 2026-05-12 letter in the signed permit package says WMPD was aware of proposed Flock projects on Highways 77, 191, and 70 and agreed with implementation (`- Signed Permit Package P1987, ALPR, D1, Crittenden County, West Memphis Police Department -.pdf`, p. 3). Those letters state the agency's purpose and agreement. They do not independently establish platform permissions, sharing configuration, installation completion, or live use. ## Closeout state The approved engineering notes require the permittee to `"REQUEST A FINAL INSPECTION AND A NOTICE OF FINAL ACCEPTANCE"` after notifying the permitting agency of completion (approved-as-noted file, p. 7). No separate completion notice, final inspection, final acceptance, or as-built survey appears in this production. Six JPEG filenames identify proposed or documented labels F#001 through F#006, but only P#003, P#004, and P#006 carry exact coordinates in the issued permit. The other three photographed labels are not assigned inferred coordinates. ## Cross-references - [[west-memphis-pd/2026-07-30-first-production/_overview|West Memphis Police Department First Production]] - [[West Memphis Flock Order and First-Validation Invoice]] - [[2026-05 ARDOT Issues West Memphis Permit 1987]] - [[Arkansas ALPR Camera Coordinates and Directional Nomenclature]] ## Open questions / follow-ups - Preconstruction-conference, construction, completion, final-inspection, final-acceptance, and as-built records. - Native platform coordinates and lifecycle history for all six ordered cameras. - A documented crosswalk among permit labels `P#003/P#004/P#006`, photograph labels `F#001-F#006`, and any earlier SkyCop site identifiers.
