Council OKs special-purchase, five-year body-camera contract for police department
Summary
Resolution 2025-15 authorizing purchase of body cameras was approved 5–0. The town will pay about $340,000 over five years for interoperable cameras chosen for compatibility with Marion County and current uniforms; staff cited a substantial vendor discount.
The Speedway Town Council approved Resolution No. 2025-15 on Oct. 27, authorizing a special purchase agreement to supply body cameras for the Speedway Police Department under a five-year payment plan totaling roughly $340,000.
Grant Kleinheinz said interoperability with Marion County, uniform mounting compatibility and data access considerations guided the selection of the recommended camera provider. Lieutenant Jake McAtee led the procurement and negotiations, Kleinheinz said, and secured what staff described as a substantial discount to make the price favorable.
Councilors asked about rollout timing and continuity of data access. Kleinheinz said the town’s current service provider is Utility (name used in procurement conversation) and that the proposed vendor would provide new equipment and continued archiving; the exact timing of replacement for existing cameras depends on contract terms. The council voted 5–0 to approve the resolution.
