ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding authorization to accept a service agreement and enter into a contract with Flock Group Inc. (Nigel Reynoso, Chief of Police)
SUMMARY:
The deployment of up to 24 Flock Safety video cameras across San Luis is poised to significantly deter crime and aid in police investigations. By strategically placing these high-definition cameras in key areas, the city enhances visibility and surveillance, which serves as a strong deterrent to potential offenders who recognize that their actions are being monitored. Additionally, the cameras utilize advanced Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology, enabling law enforcement to swiftly identify and track vehicles involved in criminal activities. This capability not only accelerates the resolution of ongoing investigations but also provides valuable evidence that can be used in court. Ultimately, the presence of these cameras fosters a safer community by discouraging criminal behavior and supporting law enforcement efforts to maintain public safety.
The San Luis Police Department, with the assistance and recommendation of Information Technology, is requesting to enter into a one-year agreement with Flock Safety for a total cost of $99,130.00 per year. The cost will be covered through funds awarded by the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs Border Fencing and Technology Grant and approved as part of the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Capital Projects Grant Funds.
Flock Safety is the sole manufacturer, developer, and distributor of the proprietary Flock Safety Falcon ALPR Camera and FlockOS Real Time Crime Center integrated solution. It is an exclusive service under 3.05.020 Exclusive Services.
