Council to place body/dash camera, VR trainer, Cellebrite MOU and OVI grant on agenda
Summary
Broadview Heights Police Chief Don Polick told council Jan. 5 he will place items on the agenda to acquire an Axon virtual‑reality taser trainer, replace body and dash cameras, finalize a Cellebrite MOU with Parma, and accept a University Hospitals OVI grant.
Police Chief Don Polick told Broadview Heights City Council the department will place multiple public‑safety items on a future council agenda, including training, equipment replacement and a forensics MOU.
“We have several things tonight,” Polick said, listing a Confitrek training service agreement, an Axon virtual‑reality trainer for taser instruction, a larger Axon purchase to replace existing body and dash cameras, a memorandum of understanding with Parma for Cellebrite phone‑forensics access, and a University Hospitals OVI grant.
Polick described the VR taser trainer as the smaller purchase and the camera system as the larger acquisition; the council did not discuss dollar amounts during the work session. Resident William Tarter later told the council he supports body and dash cameras and said he would follow up with the chief on logistical questions.
All of the police items were slated to be placed on the council agenda for formal consideration; no final awards or ordinance authorizations were recorded at the Jan. 5 work session.
