Approval of a Purchase Order for the Amount of $26,325 for the purchase of a Mobile Surveillance Trailer from Wanco. 
 

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Chief of Police to Proceed with the purchase order and purchase a Mobile Surveillance Trailer from Wanco. 

 UASI program funds address the unique planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high threat, high density urban areas, and assists them in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism.

The UASI grants are administered by the Los Angeles Mayor's office, who recently called for project proposals for grant year 2024. This 2024 UASI grant will provide $117,640 in funding for the purchase of automated license plate reader (ALPR) equipment, and a mobile camera trailer. The vendor, Vigilant Solutions, is a provider of equipment for our current ALPR network within the City, utilized by the Police Department. Expanding the existing network will increase the level of safety for the community and City staff. The system allows information to be provided to officers in the field, in real time, that they might otherwise be unaware of, as well as provides investigators with possible additional investigative leads to identify a suspect of a crime.

UASI 2024 was previously approved by Council under Resolution No. 8557. Since that approval, the vendor has increased its pricing, citing tariffs and inflationary impacts as the basis for the adjustment.
