I. RECOMMENDATION:
The police department is requesting permission to declare 21 Taser X26P's and 2 Taser X26's as surplus and dispose of them.
II. BACKGROUND:
The police department has recently upgraded their Tasers from the Taser X26P to the Taser 7. The reason for the upgrade was that Taser would no longer cover Taser deployments on the X26P due to the age of the devices.
III. DISCUSSION:
Now that officers have been trained with the Taser 7, they have been deployed and the old Taser X26P's have been collected and are being stored at the police department.
The Chief is requesting to dispose of the old Taser X26P's as well as two Taser X26's that have been in the armory. Both the X26P and the X26 are outdated and no longer covered by Taser for any deployments. In speaking with Taser International, there is no value to them if they were to be returned so the police department will destroy them if approved.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Council can deny this request and the police department will store the Tasers.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
None. |
