Council approves $8,995 purchase of computerized voice stress analyzer for police

The Kirkwood City Council on July 3 approved Bill 11081, appropriating $8,995 from the equitable sharing fund balance to the police department’s machinery and equipment account and accepting a single-source quote from NITV Federal Services LLC for computerized voice stress analyzer software.

City staff presented the ordinance authorizing the director of procurement to issue a purchase order to NITV Federal Services LLC for the $8,995 acquisition. Council members asked no substantive questions during the roll call, and the bill passed final reading on a unanimous vote.

The purchase will be funded from the city’s equitable sharing fund balance. The transcript records the council’s roll-call yes votes but does not include additional detail about vendor selection beyond the single-source designation.

City procurement and the police department will complete the purchase and deploy the software per department policy and applicable law.
