  2. Background Body worn cameras capture audio and video evidence of incidents involving police personnel interacting with citizens/suspects. This evidence is crucial when responding to complaints and can reduce exposure to litigation from false complaints and/or frivolous lawsuits, thus mitigating costs and risk to the City. Recording of critical incidents also provides more accurate review and analysis for improved training for Department personnel and improved service to the community.  Recordings may also capture important evidence related to criminal activity in support of prosecution.

  7. Staffing Evidence suggests two additional employees are needed to maintain adequate controls of the body worn camera programs in agencies of similar size. Other needs, such as IT and legal review have not been factored into the full operating costs. Staff recommends the addition of two new full-time positions, one Police Supervisor (Technical Services Section) to handle imperative tasks related to accountability, policy review, research and recommendations, and one Property and Evidence Technician (Digital Media Evidence Specialist) to handle the day-to-day video recording requests.  Beginning in FY 2017, the annual cost for these two new positions is estimated at $190,782 and are included in the recommended FY 2017 operating budget.

  8. Recommendation Find that the proposed contract is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b) (3);  Authorize the Interim City Manager to enter into a five-year contract with TASER International, Inc. to furnish and deliver software, hardware, and services for a Body Worn Camera System in an amount not to exceed $1,532,258, which includes the base contract amount of $1,392,962 and a contingency of $139,296. Competitive bidding is not required pursuant to City Charter Section 1002(F), contracts for professional or unique services; and Authorize the addition of two new full-time equivalent (FTE) positions to the Police Department’s FY 2016 Operating Budget, increasing the department total FTE count from 369.75 to 371.75, and authorize staff to make necessary adjustments to the budget.
