Subject:
Sole Source Purchase of Police Interview Room Camera System
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council approve the sole source purchase of the Police Interview Room Camera System, from Axon Enterprise, Inc., in the amount of $230,214.90.
Background/Discussion:
The Chandler Police Department (CPD) currently houses seven interview rooms, some of which contain equipment installed over a decade ago. With advancements in crime-fighting technology, it is prudent to modernize CPD interview rooms to align with contemporary standards. This modernization initiative aims to afford CPD a clearer visual perspective during interviews, enhanced sound quality, and features that facilitate expeditious and efficient capture of interviews and dictations.
Integration of Axon equipment into CPD interview rooms will streamline workflow and reduce training requirements. Given CPD's existing utilization of Axon for its evidence repository, tasers, and body-worn cameras, incorporating Axon equipment into interview rooms represents a logical progression, ensuring seamless compatibility with the tools officers employ on a daily basis. Notable enhancements include the ability to securely view interviews from police-issued mobile devices, automatic transcription of interviews, and the establishment of motion boundaries within rooms for enhanced officer safety.
The acquisition of Axon equipment for CPD interview rooms is a strategic investment aimed at enhancing investigative processes, fostering accountability, and safeguarding the reputation of law enforcement personnel. By harnessing cutting-edge technology to capture precise evidence, enhance transparency, and mitigate risks, CPD underscores its commitment to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.
Evaluation:
Axon Enterprise, Inc., is the sole source company that will allow for seamless integration of the interview room camera system with the existing body worn camera system. CPD has utilized the current Axon Enterprises system since full implementation in 2016. This purchase is for a five-year period and includes hardware, software licenses, and warranty. Staff recommends approval of this purchase.
