BACKGROUND
With the assistance of a state grant from The Governor’s Crime Commission, the Sheriff’s Office purchased 64 body-worn cameras in June 2017 from AXON Enterprise, Inc. In an effort to enhance officer safety and decrease liability office-wide, the Sheriff’s Office requests to expand the body-worn camera project and purchase 125 additional body-worn cameras from AXON Enterprise, Inc. The Sheriff’s Office was awarded a new state grant award from the Governor’s Crime Commission for the second deployment of cameras. The grant match will come from SCAAP funds and the Sheriff’s Civil Processing fees. These additional cameras will outfit Court and Jail personnel.
The justification to purchase additional cameras from a sole source (AXON Enterprise, Inc.), meets the standardization and compatibility condition. Purchasing additional cameras from the same vendor will ensure continuity with all cameras, software, and technical support.
