Description
For $57,000.00 in payment authority to purchase an upgrade to the portable, vehicle-mounted camera system used by the Police Department's Homeland Defense Bureau. The equipment is used to provide live video of events for the command post, allowing decision makers to make critical decisions using real-time information. The system can also record imagery, providing evidence that can be used to help further investigations of incidents. The camera system was purchased by the Phoenix Homeland Defense Bureau with Urban Areas Security Initiative grant funds in 2010. Technology has changed significantly since then and the vendor can no longer support the existing system in its current outdated configuration. The upgrade will supply new hardware components and installation and training services to ensure fully functional operation of the camera system. This critical tool is used by the Phoenix Police Department to provide life safety services to the public and used during critical incidents and complicated scenes.
