I. RECOMMENDATION:
The Police Chief and City Manager recommend that the City Council approve the expansion of the Police Department's Community Video Policing Program.
II. BACKGROUND:
The City applied and was approved for a CIRA grant in the amount of $48,627.30 to purchase 6 additional cameras to expand the Police Department's Community Video Policing Program.
III. DISCUSSION:
Approval of the expansion of the Police Department's Community Video Policing Program authorizes the Police Chief to purchase 6 additional cameras and locate 3 around the schools with the other 3 being located at selected high crime intersections.
This will enhance safety around the schools and assist in following up on investigations.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Do not approve (not recommended).
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
This is an unbudgeted expense, but it will not have a negative impact on the City's budget or General Fund as the expense is fully covered by the CIRA grant. |
