The board approved a five‑year renewal to provide body cameras, car cameras, tasers and cloud storage and management services. Staff said the contract is a renewal of the borough’s existing arrangement and includes equipment refresh, cloud storage for video evidence, and a VR training system for officers. The first year’s budgeted cost cited by staff was $396,243.61 and the five‑year total shown in the motion was $1,939,000.46.
A police official summarized operational benefits: the procurement will expand body‑camera coverage to roughly 65 cameras and provide additional user licenses for administrators, an upgraded Taser model and IT management systems that will streamline FOI requests and evidence handling. The board voted to waive bidding and authorized the mayor to sign related contract documents as recommended by the police chief.
