Summary
Village will send a two-year equipment and storage contract to the board after staff said a soon-to-be-graduated officer needs body-worn camera hardware, a Taser and evidence storage under the Body-Worn Camera Act.
The board voted to send a two-year equipment and storage contract to the board that will provide a newly graduated police officer with a body-worn camera, Taser and associated storage costs.
A staff member said one officer will graduate from the academy next week and, to remain compliant with the Body-Worn Camera Act and department policy, the village must provide a body-worn camera, a Taser, licensing and data storage. Staff described the proposed contract as a 19-month agreement to run concurrent with the village’s current Axon contract so that all equipment and storage contracts will align and expire at the same time. The board approved forwarding the contract to the board by roll call.
The item was presented as administrative housekeeping to ensure compliance and consistent contract expiration for vendor negotiations at the next renewal window; no detailed contract price was discussed in the committee presentation.
