ITEM SUMMARY:
In June 2020 the City replaced existing Panasonic brand in-car camera systems with AXON brand systems in 17 police cars.
The switch to AXON was driven by a number of factors, including a desire to employ camera equipment with the most up-to-
date technological features as well as capture the benefits of having all officer-generated audio/video files created, managed
and stored using the same platform (as all officers were equipped with AXON brand body worn cameras beginning in March
2019).
The Panasonic camera systems removed from the police cars are owned by the City; however, Police Department staff have no
use for any of the components and the equipment is currently in storage. Meanwhile, the Village of Tower Lakes equips their
police cars with Panasonic brand in-car cameras. Staff with the Village of Tower Lakes is aware we have the Panasonic
camera systems on hand and has requested a donation of four (4) of these Panasonic systems for installation and use in police
cars utilized by the Tower Lakes Police Department.
The Village Board of Tower Lakes has approved the attached Intergovernmental Agreement relative to the donation and
transfer of this equipment.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 21-R-0037.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Public Affairs Committee recommends approval of Resolution No. 21-R-0037.
