RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to ProForce Law Enforcement for Taser electronic control
devices, ammunition and accessories in the amount not to exceed $250,000.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department utilizes electronic control devices to gain
control over violently resisting subjects. The new X26 Taser will replace,
supplement and upgrade the department's current inventory of M26 Taser
electronic control devices. The M26 Tasers purchased in 2001 are obsolete
and due for replacement. The new X26 Taser electronic control device is
smaller, lighter, and more effective. It also incorporates a data chip
that records the time, date and duration of discharge each time the Taser
is used. Ammunition and accessories for the X26 Taser are also required.
ProForce Law Enforcement is the sole source distributor for the X26 Taser
electronic control devices, ammunition and accessories for California. As
a result, staff recommends Council approval of the recommended action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Law Enforcement Services Fund Operating
Materials & Supplies account (account no. 128-349-6391)
