Council tables five-year body-camera/cloud contract after extended public concerns about access and use
Summary
Council members and residents questioned a proposed five-year agreement for body cameras and cloud storage (vendor cited as Axon/quote materials) and voted to table the item for more information about access, licenses, audit trails and discipline.
The Hammond City Council voted to table action on a proposed five-year agreement for police body cameras and cloud storage, after several council members and multiple residents raised questions about the contract terms, delivery schedule and whether officers are using equipment consistently.
City staff presented a multi-year quote for licensing, cloud storage and hardware support under a state contract (listed in the staff packet as state contract 4400028582). Staff said the vendor offered a multi-year pricing package that, when broken down, equated to roughly $89,100 per year in recurring service costs; the written materials in the packet contained inconsistent figures and delivery dates that council members and residents highlighted during public comment.
