The Council has <br />been supportive of both the policy and purchase of equipment. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />Staff has received quotes from Watchguard body worn cameras for both cameras and <br />related equipment which were discussed at the December 5, 2016 work session. <br />Watchguard cameras have been tested and are the recommended cameras due to <br />their performance, durability, and ability to synchronize with our existing squad <br />cameras. Initial purchase of cameras will come out of forfeiture fund (225-4200-1230) <br />at $5585 in the 2016 budget. Anticipated 2017 costs include additional cameras and <br />associated equipment ($4043 quote) and compatible redactive software ($3995 quote) <br />as well as associated data storage costs (estimated $4000). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends council approval of resolution 8678 authorizing the purchase of Body <br />Worn Cameras and related peripheral equipment at $5585 from the forfeiture fund. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Nate Harder <br />Chief of Police <br /> <br />
