Description

For $83,000.00 in payment authority to purchase FARO Technologies Focus S70 Scanners for the Phoenix Police Department (PPD). The acquisition of the FARO Focus S70 scanner will allow PPD to scan vehicles that are involved in fatal collisions and impounded as evidence. Obtaining this scanner will further allow PPD to release impounded vehicles from nearly full impound lots, thus further allowing the cleanup of leaking vehicle fluids that are an environmental hazard. The FARO scanner is the only scanner that has hash values, as it scans, giving Detectives the hash value scans a self-authentication for rules of evidence, thought of as fingerprints to a file, that are used in court proceedings. The scanner will provide the PPD with realistic and true to detail scan results. Additionally, the scanner provides on-site registration, rescanning of distant targets in high resolution, retake photo options and precise crush measurements. The scanner will satisfy the PPD requirement for an ultra-high accurate scanner for measuring other objects such as: buildings, complex structures and accident sites.
