Police Department <br />https://www.santa-ana.org/pd <br />Item # 16 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> Staff Report <br />February 16, 2021 <br />TOPIC: Body-Worn Cameras <br />AGENDA TITLE: <br />Approve Agreement Amendment with Axon Enterprise, Inc. to Provide Additional Body- <br />Worn Cameras and Related Equipment for the Santa Ana Police Department in the <br />amount of $80,624.29 (Non-General Fund, General Fund) <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Approve an amendment to the agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for additional body- <br />worn cameras, related equipment, and operating licenses for the Santa Ana Police <br />Department for the period of April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, in the amount <br />$80,624.29, and amending the term end date to June 30, 2022, subject to non- <br />substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />In 2016, the Police Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP #16-053) for body- <br />worn cameras. Axon Enterprise, Inc. was the most responsive and capable respondent. <br />A five-year agreement was executed and on May 2, 2017, the Police Department <br />implemented its body-worn camera program with 200 cameras. Body-Worn cameras <br />were issued to all uniformed personnel assigned to the Field Operations Bureau and <br />special units (Gangs, Directed Patrol, etc.), with tentative expansion over the course of <br />the five-year contract. Since implementation, deployment has expanded to all Crime <br />Scene Investigators and Parking Control Officers (not including contracted parking control <br />officers). Additionally, emerging laws have required detectives to deploy body-worn <br />cameras during the course of their respective duties. The continued hiring of sworn police <br />officers has now necessitated the purchase of 24 additional body-worn cameras and <br />related equipment. This agreement amendment will provide the Police Department with <br />an additional 24 body-worn cameras, associated mountings, charging/docking stations, <br />and 34 additional operating licenses (24 for sworn officers and 10 for support staff). <br />Axon Enterprise, Inc. has agreed to provide the additional body-worn cameras and related <br />equipment to support the remainder of the five-year contract in the amount of $80,624.29. <br />In addition, Axon has agreed to amend the agreement term end date from May 1, 2022 <br />to June 30, 2022 to coincide with subscription services being provided.
