# T021 — Cabot Axon LPR Discontinuation Reports vs 2024 Renewal Agreement Cabot's own public report describes the Axon relationship as ended for accuracy reasons, while the newly produced contract file shows the City signing a fresh five-year Axon Fleet 3 agreement — with ALPR licenses — three weeks before that report's coverage period began, and a further signed refresh a year later. Both records are Cabot's own; the production contains nothing that reconciles them. ## Statement A Cabot's January–June 2025 semiannual report says the agency was no longer integrated with Axon because the results "were inaccurate and provided almost all false hits"; the 2023–2024 reports attributed 370 and then 762 of 763 non-correlating alerts to Mobile Axon LPR ([[Cabot Semiannual LPR Reports]], cited reports, p. 1). ## Statement B Quote Q-595239-45629.839JS — Fleet 3 Advanced ×5, 60 months, estimated contract start 02/01/2025, including `AXON FLEET 3 - ALPR LICENSE - 1 CAMERA ×5` for 02/01/2025–01/31/2030 — is signed in ink "…, Mayor," dated 12/17/24; and quote Q-776129-45994JS (three antennas plus per-vehicle installation-refresh, estimated start 02/01/2026) is signed 12/3/2025 ([[Cabot Axon Fleet 3 Agreements and Invoice]], `AXON signed contract.pdf`, p. 6; `Axon Fleet 3 Transfer Signed.pdf`, p. 6). ## Why it matters If "no longer integrated with Axon" means only that the Axon-Flock alert integration ended while Fleet 3 in-car systems and ALPR licenses continued, the report understates Cabot's operating mobile-ALPR capability during the very period its public transparency instrument covers. If the agreement was signed and then canceled or left idle, the City committed roughly $79,786 per year against a system its own report calls inaccurate. Either resolution changes what Cabot's six-month reports actually measure, and the choice bears on every jurisdiction where public ALPR reporting is the principal oversight instrument. ## Resolution status `open` — resolve through current-status records for Q-595239 (payment, activation, cancellation, amendment), the meaning of the 2025 "transfer/refresh," per-unit ALPR-enablement records, and the H2-2025/H1-2026 semiannual reports when produced. Sgt. Elliott's 2026-07-23 statement that no other responsive documents exist (Gmail message `19f8f5d6c0de0fbb`) means resolution likely requires a follow-up directed at payment and platform records specifically. ## Discovery Surfaced during the 2026-07-23 Axon supplement ingest by comparing the signed agreement dates against the discontinuation language already compiled from the initial production. ## Notes The signatory title "Mayor" is visually verified from the ink signature; the name is not fully legible and is not asserted. The tension is between two agency records' implications, not an accusation of misstatement.
