Plan represents my "best guess" at what we need in this area. In many ways, our ability <br />to keep up with technology is directly related to maintaining an up-to-date professional <br />police operation. <br />MDC /Squad and Portable R adi – Prior to 800 MHz, we leased all of our radio <br />equipment from Hennepin County. Upon moving to 800 MHz and mobile data <br />computers (MDC) we were required to lease to own all equipment. After 3 to 7 years <br />(depending on the equipment) we will be responsible for replacement and repair. This <br />capital plan represents the serviceable life and replacem <br />Pieces of equipment. ent schedule for each of these <br />Firearms – The department keeps and maintains department owned firearms. These <br />firearms include primary <br />several handguns (officer weapons in our squads (MP5s), shotguns, AR15s, and <br />fficers are required to purchase their own on and off duty guns), We <br />have some firearms that are 10 to 15 years old and have some need for additional <br />weapon systems. The stated capital need and schedule should maintain a serviceable <br />armory. <br />Office— Furir_ture – Our operation has 22 police officers, 14 reserves, 2 part -time CSOs, <br />and 2 firll time support staff. We work out of our office 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. <br />Our gun belts and hours take a toll on office furniture and a viable schedule for <br />replacement is necessary. <br />Miscellaneous laneous – The other items that I have listed, I believe speak for themselves. <br />Defibrillators, police bikes, fax machines, copy machines, and radar units also have a <br />serviceable life and require a replacement schedule. <br />I respectfully submit the aforementioned and attached schedule as an expenditure plan for the <br />capital equipment needs of the St. Anthony police Department out to the year of 2012. <br />JO:vj <br />Attachment <br />
