The
Police Department requests Council approval for the use of asset forfeiture
funds in the amount of $28,453, for the purchase of a “back end solution” [1]
for the retention of video data. The
department also requests an appropriation of funds in the amount of $80,000 for
the purchase of 16 digital in-car video systems to replace the existing
outdated video systems.
SUMMARY
AND BACKGROUND: The police department currently has
twenty-three patrol cars equipped with VHS in-car camera systems that range in
age from five to ten years old. These
systems are obsolete and frequently create costly maintenance issues and
inoperable cameras in the patrol cars.
Over the last year, the fleet maintenance department has reported over
$11,000 in repairs to the current video systems. (The most current incidents, beginning
October 2007 involved four VHS units being inoperable and caused four cars to
be out of service for a combined total of fourteen months) [2].
After
extensive product research and testing the department has chosen ICOP cameras
and a Dell server, as the most viable companies to solve this situation. ICOP’s product has GSA pricing.
[1] Two Dell servers to store video data, one as a primary, the other as a backup and a
DVD burner.
2 Two units were deadlined from October – February; two more units were deadlined
from November – February, giving a combined total of 14 months down time.
