Council reviews JAG grant items including 'soft target' festival protections
Summary
Officials outlined U.S. Department of Justice JAG grant items shared with the county, including 'soft target' security materials (bollards/planters and anti-vehicle protections) and a list of technology and equipment the police plan to purchase if funded. Councilors requested itemized appendices to support decisions. (Provenance: SEG 848–SEG 783)
Councilors reviewed proposed items for a U.S. Department of Justice JAG grant that the city plans to split with the county. Staff described "soft target security" items aimed at protecting festival circuits — concrete planter boxes and anti-vehicle measures — and agreed to provide an itemized list for council review.
Staff also listed larger-ticket technology items intended for other grants and equipment requests, including cell-phone extraction tools, additional body-worn cameras, drones and counter-drone equipment, in-car modems and Axon Translate subscriptions. Councilors asked for appendices so they could evaluate specific purchases before voting.
