T T1�T L�iAT Item No: 8D MOUNDS VIl.1'Y Meeting Date:12/09/2024 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: City or Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Ben Zender, Chief of Police Item Title/Subject: Resolution 10021, Approving the Purchase of Command Central to Enhance Video Evidence Library Capabilities. Introduction: The Police Department is striving to continue to advance our technological capabilities to include enhancing our video evidence library. Discussion: The department is requesting the purchase of command central to enhance video evidence library capabilities. The Mounds View Police Department, as well as the public, deserve to have reliable video evidence camera systems. The physical server was replaced in October of 2023, and the additional video footage migration from the physical server to the cloud was completed in February of 2024. This allowed the Mounds View Police Department to begin replacing the old in-car camera systems and the body worn cameras along with additional equipment as necessary. In a continuing effort to improve and enhance our video evidence library, staff reached out to Motorola inquiring about command central. Central command can store all digital evidence under the specific case, and easily share case files with the county attorney, city attorney, and anyone requesting data. This will reduce the need for physical disks, flash drives, and other hardware in order to share digital evidence. This will also drastically reduce the need to download videos, which often takes an excessive amount of time. Furthermore, officers will have the capability to upload photos, videos, and audio evidence right into the case file. Command central software includes transcripts, redactions, and a QR code for citizens to upload a video for a specific case. By adding this additional software, our redactive subscription doesn't need to be renewed. The upfront cost for hardware, accessories, and implentation will be approximately $8,966.56 for the first year with each of the next 4 years costing approximately $7,926.00 annually. The total purchasing cost of command central costs approximately $40,670.56 for 5 years with the initial year being paid from Account 480-4200-3030 (2023 Public Safety Aid money) and the next 4 years being paid from the operating budget (100-4200-5100).
