Officer honored; staff says grants will pay for body-worn camera replacement
Summary
Staff reported Officer Bob Rinkin received an officer-of-the-year award and that the city received combined grants that will fully fund replacement of its body-worn camera system, equipment, and cloud storage; the exact grant total was not specified in the transcript.
City staff reported two items related to law enforcement equipment and recognition.
Officer Bob Rinkin was recognized as the city’s officer of the year and also was a county traffic-officer nominee. Staff said Rinkin wrote 98 traffic citations during last year’s OVI task-force grant work and received a certificate at a recent CPDA awards dinner.
Staff also reported that the city received two grants, combined, that will fully fund replacement of its body-worn camera system, related equipment and cloud storage. The staff speaker said the grants will cover the entire project; the precise grant total was not specified in the meeting transcript and staff indicated the number would be included in department records.
Staff thanked the grant writer for pursuing the awards and said the city will update retention schedules and other public-records practices related to body-camera footage as required.
