Pecchia, Public Safety Director /Chief of Police July 10, 2006 Designating Forfeiture Revenues Simple Majority The City of Lino Lakes receives DWI and drug forfeiture funds from time to time. Based on the State Law and the Department's Policies and Procedures these funds must be expended for Law Enforcement purposes. We are proceeding with the upgrade of the current video security system within the police department. The project includes upgrading the existing recording VHS tape format to digital format being saved on a server. The hardware and software allows us to utilize the current analog cameras with progression to IP based cameras as we expand to cover areas other than the police department. The software included in the project allows for various recording levels such as during specific time periods, when motion is detected, or as directed manually. The system will record both video as well as audio which can be copied to CD for evidentiary purposes. Client software associated with this project will allow monitoring of the cameras and audio from workstations throughout the department. The project will also replace the video and audio system in the interview rooms that are currently out of service. The total project cost is $12,698. We are requesting that the Council approve the purchase of the video security system and software utilizing $12,698 from the Drug Forfeiture fund.
