County approves Prosecure security contract, sheriff‑PBA deputy service and Axon camera agreements
Summary
Oklahoma County approved a 24‑hour security services renewal with Prosecure ($336,286.88 split with PBA), a sheriff deputy contract for PBA properties (amount in transcript appears garbled), and an Axon body‑worn camera contract for law enforcement evidence programs.
The Oklahoma County Board of County Commissioners approved several public safety and security contracts during the meeting. The board renewed a Prosecure contract for 24‑hour security services covering the county campus and Metro Parking at a total amount reported in the transcript as $336,286.88; the expense is split with the Public Building Authority (PBA) based on square footage allocation and was approved by voice vote.
Separately, the board approved a contract between the sheriff’s office and the PBA to fund a sheriff's deputy to serve PBA properties (the figure read in the transcript appears as '105,5443' and is likely a transcription error). The transcript does not provide a clearly parsed dollar amount; recorded discussion described the deputy’s patrol responsibilities across campus and PBA properties and the motion passed by voice vote.
Mr. Compton introduced a separate contract with Axon to provide body‑worn cameras, noting the agreement is similar to the county’s prior arrangement and includes multiple‑year extension options; commissioners approved that contract as presented. The district attorney’s office also had a yearly Axon evidence program contract on the agenda that received board approval.
Commissioners discussed the security contract's benefits, including fewer incidents in courtyards, camera monitoring from Metro offices and periodic security rounds; staff said Prosecure provides after‑hours escorts for employees working late. The board approved the security, deputy‑service and Axon items during the consent agenda.
