Summary
The police chief reported a vendor quote of $29,005.18 for five body cameras and associated software and explained the department's upcoming hiring and testing process for two open positions.
The police chief (Chief, S6) presented a vendor estimate for five body-worn cameras and the associated software and storage, saying the estimated total with tax was $29,005.18.
"It's the estimated total with tax would be $29,005.18," the chief said, noting the ongoing majority of the cost is storage/software rather than the cameras themselves and that five-year maintenance/replacement costs are additional and not yet precisely known.

The chief said the department had about five applicants ready to enter the process and planned to start interviews the following month.
