| | | | | | | | ITEM SUMMARY:
This item is pursuant to the Police Department’s replacement of all car, body, and interview room cameras. Over the last several years, the police department has been experiencing significant performance issues with the current vendor’s body cameras. The department has been unable to repair existing models and unable to purchase the newer models due to a design flaw. Over the last year, the department has been deploying another agency’s old body cameras who has also moved on to another vendor citing the same performance issues. The department has field tested and evaluated no less than three reputable alternatives for an all-inclusive camera solution. The department has chosen WatchGuard, a Texas company who maintains a strong performance track record and is on state contract (DIR).

-
78 - Vehicle cameras
