Council approves new Lenslock body‑worn camera system after patrol battery concerns
Summary
Police Chief Adrian Day said department had recording gaps and battery issues with current cameras; council approved a five‑year contract with Lenslock for roughly $55,817 per year, funded by state alcohol funds and grants, to replace the system.
Tooele's police chief, Adrian Day, told the council that the department's current body‑worn camera system had experienced lost recordings and battery life that sometimes failed to cover a full shift. He recommended replacing the system under a five‑year contract with Lenslock Incorporated at an annual cost of about $55,817 — higher than the previous roughly $47,000 per year — but Day said the department expects state alcohol funds and grants to cover most of the expense.
Day described features of the new equipment — including dual batteries and a hot‑swap discharge station — and said staff had trialed the device for several weeks with improved recording and battery performance. Council voted 5‑0 to approve Resolution 2026‑54. No public comment was offered during the meeting.
The resolution authorizes the procurement and cloud storage contract for cameras, body units and related software.
