CITY COUNCIL <br />STAFF REPORT <br />AGENDA ITEM 1.J. <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Curt Boehme , Chief of Police <br /> <br />MEETING DATE September 8, 2025 <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM: Approve Disposal of Obsolete Police Department Property <br /> <br />VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority <br /> <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The Lino Lakes Police Department has surplus obsolete city property that needs to be properly <br />disposed of. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />Around 2012, the police department purchased Panasonic squad cameras, which were used <br />until approximately 2018. At that time, they were replaced with new Panasonic squad and <br />body-worn cameras. These cameras remained in use until spring of 2025, when they were <br />replaced by Axon cameras. <br /> <br />Police staff have consulted with Metro-Inet, who advised the Panasonic camera devices and <br />accessories are no longer supported by software and have no further use. All data has been <br />removed from the camera devices to ensure criminal justice is not released. <br /> <br />Additionally, the police department has obsolete police radios, non-functioning speed- <br />detecting radar and laser units, and other miscellaneous non-functioning electronics. <br /> <br />The radios will be decommissioned through the Anoka County Radio Shop, ensuring all <br />programming is deleted. All other electronic items will be disposed of through an appropriate <br />facility to ensure the secure handling of any residual data. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the council approve disposal of the property listed on the inventory of items <br />to be disposed of. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
