# T016 — Cabot 2024 Semiannual LPR Report Accuracy Cabot's two 2024 half-year reports contain distinct alert and outcome figures but print the exact same 7,365,404 scan total, while the January-June report also calls its period the "second half of 2024." The record proves the repetition and period-label error but does not establish which scan figure, if either, is wrong. ## Statement A The report titled `2024 LPR Chief Letter January to June.pdf` says, "During the second half of 2024, to include the months of January through June," and reports **7,365,404** plates scanned ([[Cabot Semiannual LPR Reports]], p. 1). It separately reports 1,022 positive alerts, 763 non-correlating matches, and 13 arrest/prosecution outcomes. ## Statement B `Flock Audit 2nd half 2024.pdf` expressly covers July through December and also reports **7,365,404** plates scanned ([[Cabot Semiannual LPR Reports]], p. 1). Its other figures differ: 770 alerts, one false Flock hit, and 24 hits associated with arrests, recovered vehicles, and located missing persons. ## Why it matters The public six-month reports are the statutory/policy-facing summary of Cabot's ALPR activity. A copied or mislabeled scan total can distort trend analysis, throughput comparisons, and any claim about changes following the Axon integration. Treating both figures as independently verified would create false precision. ## Resolution status `open` — resolve through the underlying 2024 spreadsheets, report metadata/version history, Flock scan exports for both periods, and a custodian statement identifying the authoritative figures. ## Discovery Surfaced during the 2026-07-22 Cabot production ingest. ## Notes The exact equality is not itself proof of a copy error; it is the combination of the equality, the January-June report's incorrect period phrase, and the absence of underlying spreadsheets that makes the figure unresolved.
