Home My WebLink AboutAgenda Report - June 18, 1997 (103)CITY OF LODI I I COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: Purchase of Police Surveillance Camera Equipment For City Parks DATE: June 18, 1997 PREPARED BY: LARRY D. HANSEN, CHIEF OF POLICE RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize the Lodi Police Department to purchase police surveillance camera equipment from the Alamo Alarm Company, 431 N. Cluff Avenue, Lodi. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: For the past several months the Lodi Police Department has been evaluating a variety of surveillance equipment options to meet the needs of our community and department. We recommend that the proposal from the Alamo Alarm Company will meet our current needs and provide video surveillance at the Lodi Lake Park and Hale Park. We will also have one portable video surveillance camera which will be available for use in a variety of situations (graffiti and other criminal activity, etc.), and one miniature surveillance camera to be used in covert types of surveillance situations. Paul Alamo, Alamo Alarms, has proposed their company will donate as a community service, all profits, labor, installation and one year maintenance costs for this project, providing the City makes its initial purchase through their company at their cost. Normally, the City of Lodi would bid a project of this size, however, I am requesting a sole source vender for the following reasons: wholesale costs; free installation; free maintenance during warranty period; community based company; outstanding past performance record with the City of Lodi. Captain Charles Mauch will be attending the Council Meeting to answer any questions regarding this matter.

Hansen Chief of Police cc: City Attorney APPROVED: WO Flynn -- ity anager, TO: CHIEF LARRY HANSEN FROM: CAPTAIN CHARLES MAUCH DATE: JUNE 2, 1997 SUBJECT: SURVEILLANCE CAMERA AND SITE PROPOSAL LODI POLICE DEPARTMENT SURVEILLANCE CAMERA AND SITE PROPOSAL For the past several months we have been evaluating a variety of surveillance equipment options to meet the needs of our community and department. Pinole Police Department has used a system similar to the one we will propose and it has been extremely successful since its inception. While their system utilizes fiber optics and a network of approximately sixty pan/tilt/zoom cameras at a cost of approximately 1.5 million dollars, our system will utilize four cameras, recorders and computer hardware and software at two sites, one mobile system and one portable system. The project cost is $30,000. The major differences in the two systems are: • Number of cameras -Sixty vs. Four. Retail cost: $5,000 per Unit. • Fiber optics (real time) vs. Landline (delayed picture-approx. 15 seconds). • Multiple cameras per site vs. one camera per site. While we would be operating on a much smaller scale, our goals would be relatively the same: • Deter Criminal Activity • Apprehend Criminal Offenders • Recall Surveillance Information Paul Alamo, Alamo Alarms, 431 N. Cluff Avenue, Lodi has proposed that his company will donate as a community service, all profits, labor, installation and 1 year maintenance costs for this project, providing the City makes its initial purchase through his company at wholesale prices. The Electrical Utilities Department has agreed to assist and provide the specialized equipment that may be needed to install the surveillance equipment at the proposed sites. Normally the City of Lodi would bid a project of this size, however I am requesting a sole source vender for the following reasons: • Wholesale costs on equipment • Free Installation • Free Maintenance during Warranty Period • Community Based Company • Outstanding Past Performance Record with the City of Lodi Again, the Alamo Alarm Company is proposing this as a Community Service Project to the City of Lodi and they will not be compensated for any phase of this project. The following is a list of our site selections: • Hale Park • Lodi Lake Park • Mobile system to be use by the Investigations Unit for surveillance's • Portable unit to be utilized in a variety of setting, depending on criminal or suspicious activity. The receiving station for the predetermined locations will be located in the Dispatch Center, Lodi Police Department, 230 W. Elm Street. Refer to equipment list.

The citizens of Lodi are concerned about the growing issues of vandalism, graffiti and other crimes occurring in public places. These destructive actions result in the loss of property, damaged property, visually offensive conditions, public disturbances and physical violence. In an effort to deter future such actions, the Lodi Police Department and the Lodi Parks and Recreation Department, in a cooperative effort, have elected to place surveillance equipment in public places. The equipment consists of video cameras and computerized recording and monitoring systems. H. Goals A. The City of Lodi endeavors to meet the following goals by utilizing surveillance equipment: • Deter criminal activity such as those related to vandalism, gangs and narcotics. • Apprehend criminal offenders by retrieving video data to identify suspects. • Recall Surveillance information. • Use information to facilitate prevention of criminal activity by posting signs to create public awareness. III. Policy A. As authorized by the Lodi City Council, the City Manager may direct the Chief of Police to use surveillance equipment for law enforcement and prevention purposes. Personnel using surveillance equipment will follow all requirements of Federal and State laws regulating use of such equipment. B. Employees will use the following guidelines: • Obtain authorization from the Chief of Police or his designee to the equipment. Prior to using equipment, personnel will complete necessary training to insure proper use and care of equipment. Personnel using equipment will provide security, maintenance, and storage of equipment to ensure that it is not compromised, damaged or stolen. • Under no circumstances will equipment be used for other than official purposes consistent with this policy. IV. Eligible Sites A. Site locations may include city parks, public parking street lots, and other locations permitted by law and as authorized by the Chief of Police or his designee. V. Site Selection Criteria A. Site selection will be based on historical data and current needs. Selection criteria will include: • Severity and frequency of calls for service and reported crimes • Permanent versus temporary nature of problems • Potential effectiveness of this program versus the use of alternative deterrent solutions. • Input from other Departments within the City • Input from general public or citizen's groups. VI. Posting Sites A. Fixed equipment location signs will be posted to inform citizens that surveillance equipment is in use. Signs should be posted at prominent locations in public areas so as to deter undesirable or criminal activity and to inform the public that surveillance equipment is in use. Example: "Notice- For your protection this area may be monitored by electronic surveillance equipment". B. Mobile site locations will not be posted. Mobile equipment will mainly be used to gather evidence of specific crime problems which may not occur in the fixed site locations. Identification and apprehension of suspects is the primary intended application for this equipment. VII. Program Evaluation A. Evaluation of fixed site locations should be based on, but not limited to the following: • Increase/decrease in crime or calls for service. • Increase/decrease in citizen complaints. • Increase/decrease in traffic related incidents. • Other circumstances that contribute to ongoing or reoccurring problems. B. Evaluation of mobile site locations may be based on, but not limited to the following: + Temporary or occasional problem areas requiring short term surveillance. 2 • Individual case needs as determined by the Chief of Police or his designees. Vill. Monitoring Site A. The monitoring site for all fixed site locations will be located in the Dispatch Center at the Lodi Police Department. 3 L ----J L- r— C) 1 - LOCUST 5TFEET t 13 e (D FLM -13 T - m r r i - Hi k -S � Vict�Sucuelliance stems 9 � �Y Cylyertyomew, - - .. .. .. � _. a— � ' f �G � 35 ._ r-Y�Y 'i'a{L .r �. _•.S - f sy K ',F' � '�! -- ..rti�y_0. r s_-t..w-_.r :-- :'iatlr'4: a:�F'ei«... i.:_- �6'•e... r r i �Y • aac jw- y to lrtstctt�-=k�i�t�-(��tt der— Cc mega 12k--Autcx-Rdct You--- won" fate anything easier... • SmolL87Diometer Domer e4cciable:Speeds up to = S ..1_Laam tens" _ -74 '� _ err- 3+•..-... _�. w ...fes ♦ -a - - . - �'�..0-- _ - f t - •Input Power 2W- zz- . � _ 'sly,; � � t►-��'. 1� Easy to Mount... -rreas arecdy :o 7.2S NPT soe or 0000nal wad Backer.

HANSEN, CHIEF OF POLICE RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Chief of Police to expend S126,757 in State funds to support"Front Line" police services. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: AB 3229, Section 1, Sub -paragraph a, states, "The Legislature hereby finds and declares that there is a compelling need for additional resources to be applied at the local level for the purpose of insuring public safety." This legislation also dictates that the City Council shall appropriate existing and anticipated moneys exclusively to fund front line municipal police services in accordance with written requests submitted by the Chief of Police. It should be noted that this legislation provides for front line law enforcement services including anti -gang and community oriented policing programs. The City of Lodi and Lodi Police Department have been very fortunate in the past 18 months and have received notification for funding on the following four grants: Federal Universal Hiring Grant This Grant authorizes the City to hire six additional Police Officers and will provide Federal funds over a three-year period totaling $450,000. Public Safety and CqMmunity Policing Grant This Grant provides 5368,305 for a one-time expenditure for lap tops and computer terminals for the patrol cars. Federal Law Enforcement Block Grant totals $104.057 This Grant provides funding for a variety of law enforcement purposes and it is my intent to use these funds for future technology that have not been identified at this point. State of California COPS (Citizen's Op ion for Public Safety) Program - $126.757 This money provides funds for local law enforcement to support front line police services. The total of Federal and State funds is S1+Q49.119. The Federal Universal Hiring Grant provides funds that will be distributed to the City of Lodi over a three-year period. The breakdown of City Match and Federal funding is as follows: APPROVED: H. Don Flynn — City Manager, i zen s p ion or ME !;afety Program eg s a ion- September 24, 1996 Page Two The City Match for each of the six police officer positions, over a three-year period, is as follows: Year 1 $ 9,536 x 6 = $ 57,216 Year 2 $29,535 x 6 = $177,210 Year 3 $34,535 x 6 = S207,210 The breakdown of Federal funding for this grant is as follows: Year 1 $40,000 x 6 = $240,000 Year 2 $20,000 x 6 = $120,000 Year 3 $15,000 x 6 = $ 90,000 The Public Safety and Community Policing Grant is a one-year Grant and it is not anticipated that additional funding will be provided through this grant for technology. The funds from the Federal Law Enforcement Block Grant can be expended over a two-year period and it is possible that Lodi Police Department may receive funding in future years through this program. The State COPS Program is based on legislation that could provide ongoing funding if the legislature authorizes a new appropriation on a yearly basis. It is my recommendation that Council not use State COPS funds to fund additional personnel. This funding is brand new and although there are strong indicators that this could be an ongoing funding stream. I would advise caution at this time. My budget focuses primarily on providing complete funding for six police officers by combining Federal and State funds and by providing some much needed equipment to support our front line police services. The City's cost for Police Officers in the first year is S -0-. PROPOSED COPS BUDGET 1. Mobil Data Computer/Lap Top $32,000 2. Mobile Radio, lights and siren $ 5,142 3. Secure Net for portable radios $ 4,672 4. Body Wire Transmitter $ 1,038 5. Video Surveillance Equipment $30,000 6. Three new Bicycles and related equipment 5 4,500 7, Range equipment for training purposes $ 4,602 8. Preemption Traffic Emitters $13.387 9. Two non -lethal projectile launchers $ 3,000 10. Projectile launcher ammunition $ 500 11. Infrared detection system $10.000 12. One hand-held radar unit $ 2,700 13. Funding for Parks & Rec Youth and Anti -Gang $ 5,000 14. Funding for Eastside Improvement Committee $ 2,500 15. Funding for Gang Alternative Project (GAP) S 2,500 16. Contingency S 5,216 Citizen's Option for Public Safety Program (COPS) Legislation September 24, 1996 Page Three • Mobil Data Computer/Lap Tops for four Investigative Units. The Federal Grant which provides moneys for MDCs was limited to Patrol functions. These funds allow us to use this technology in Investigations. • Secure Net for portable radios will insure that all investigators' portable radios will have a secure channel. • Body Wire Transmitter will be used in undercover operations and will replace some defective equipment. • Video Surveillance Equipment will be used to provide surveillance capabilities in high crime areas. • Three New Bicycles and Related Equipment will replace the existing bicycles used for the Bicycle Unit and will enable us to use the old bicycles for Reserve Police Officers to expand our Bicycle Patrol Program. This also provides one new bicycle for Park Police. • The Range Equipment For Training Purposes will enable us to provide more realistic training for our police officers in simulated training scenarios. This money will be used to purchase the necessary equipment. • Preemption Traffic Emitters will be placed on each patrol unit to provide a safer response for Code 3 calls. • Two Non -Lethal Projectile Launchers and Ammunition will provide us a non -lethal tool to use in volatile situations. • The Infrared Detection System is a unit that will be installed in the Sergeant's patrol car to enhance our ability for locating suspects in fields, school yards, shopping centers, etc. • The Hand-held Radar Unit will increase our ability to effectively reduce speed and have a greater impact on traffic accidents. • The funding for the Parks and Recreation project and two community based organizations will be used to provide anti -gang and community policing strategies to support the police departments goals and objectives.
