Moore approves $78,210 cloud storage for police body and in-car cameras

Summary
Council approved a one-year contract to move police body- and in-car-camera footage to cloud storage, citing remote access, CJIS compliance and AI-assisted redaction; $30,000 was already budgeted and the remainder would come from asset-forfeiture funds.
Moore City Council voted to purchase one year of cloud storage for police body and in-car camera systems at a cost of $78,210, staff said on Oct. 6.
Staff told the council the cloud option would expand remote access to video for supervisors, allow an email portal to share evidence with the district attorney and accelerate public-records redaction using AI tools. The vendor channel will meet FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) requirements, staff said.
Chief Gibson described standard retention policy: "So, standard video is 90 days. If it's of evidentiary value, we keep it for a lifetime," he said. Staff said $30,000 of the purchase was already budgeted under IT for on-site storage; the remainder would come from asset-forfeiture or drug-seizure funds.
Council members asked about security and vendor arrangements; staff clarified Motorola is the procurement channel and the cloud provider is a larger contracted vendor. Staff recommended the cloud as more capable and potentially more secure than on-site storage. The council approved the purchase by roll call.
Next step: staff will implement the cloud storage and follow CJIS and evidence-retention procedures specified in the contract.
