BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of a Purchase Order to Motorola Solutions for the fiscal year ending 2024, in an amount not to exceed $243,930.00 for the purchase of the Body Worn Cameras.
BACKGROUND:
The Sheriff’s Department is requesting to purchase body worn camera. The cameras that are being requested are the only ones that will sync with the current dash cameras installed in the Sheriff’s Office cruisers, and are forensically saved in the current software. The V300 Body-Worn Camera captures clear video and audio of every encounter from the user’s perspective. Its continuous operation capabilities allow constant recording, helping the user to capture every detail of each situation and create a reliable library of evidence for case-building and review. The V300 is easy to operate, with four control buttons. Its built-in Record-After-the-Fact® (RATF) technology enables the device to capture important video evidence that can be retrieved hours or days after an incident occurs, even if a recording is not triggered by the user or sensor. With RATF, officers can prioritize response to immediate threats over manually activating their camera.
