AGENDA TITLE: Purchase of voice Recorder for Police Department
MEETING DATE: November 6, 1991
PREPARED BY: Police Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize the purchase of
one previously budget multi -channel voice
logging recorder system manufactured and sold by
Racal Recorders, for the amount of $9,900.00
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The current voice recorder is at least
eight years old. It malfunctions
frequently, and the police department is
unable to retrieve necessary radio and
telephone communications.
This recorder is a new concept. It utilizes VHS cassettes (at less
than $4.00 ea.) instead of the current eleven inch reel to reel
tapes, which cost approximately $50.00 each. The current recorder
malfunctions `requently, causing the inability to retrieve critical
radio and telephone conversations. The current recorder is in the
communications center, where space is drastically needed. The
current machine is approximately 60"x24"x24". The Racal recorder is
approximately 19"x16"x9".
Racal has just developed this new product. Its design of using VHS
cassettes is radically different, and Racal is a sole provider of
this new technology. Several public safety agencies have purchased
this new product and recommend it highly.
FUNDING: $11,922 for this system is included in the 1991-92 budget.
The overage is to allow for the purchase of VHS cassettes
