slide1. Body Worn Camera 2021 Program recommendation Dover Police Department<br>
slide2. Background The last decade has featured an ongoing call for expanded:
Transparency
Accountability
Evidentiary Proof
Acquisition of emerging technologies
within the criminal justice system and policing profession.<br>
slide3. Background Body Worn Camera (BWC) devices advance all four of these priorities as they:
Offer another dimension of post-incident review
Increase the public’s confidence in police
accountability mechanisms
Capture video and audio corroboration of
written reports
Increase the effectiveness of policing priorities<br>
slide4. Coban Technologies *An existing vendor Currently provides in-car/interview room cameras
It was hoped that their BWC product would:
Easily integrate with existing systems
Improve internal processes
Save a substantial amount of money
It did none of those things.<br>
slide5. Axon Enterprise, Inc. Body camera 3 Currently enjoys 80% of the large agency market
Was the next lowest quote from the 2020 survey
Was an existing vendor (Taser program)
Consistently the most often recommended device **
Met or exceeded all Dover Police requirements
Advantages in areas not initially identified<br>
slide6. recommendation City Council Approve the addition of one (1) FTE to manage the program
This is a reduction from the original estimate of 1.5 FTE [LAN Analyst]
The position has also proved to be more of an Evidence-related task
The proposed Evidence Manager would be non-bargaining and supervise the existing Evidence Technician position. [FY 22 Personnel Request is filed]
Both positions would be cross-trained to handle all non-supervisory tasks
City Council Approve the purchase of the Axon/Taser Officer Safety Plan
Complete five (5) year solution to agency BWC and Taser program requirements
Highest potential available for achieving community satisfaction<br>
slide7. Evidence Manager Position Traditional Evidence work
(2019 Data) 6,600 separate transactions
66 separate transports for testing
300+ separate court transfers
350+ investigative transfers
Ongoing inventory/audit tasks Body worn Camera impact
Projections ~30 Active Officers per day
365 24-hour days per year
~11,000 BWC data dumps per year
Each dump has 8-12 hrs. of files
Before file maintenance begins<br>

Latest Generation (Cam 3) Improved Video Images
Enhanced Audio Capture
Automatic Activation Options
Integrated GPS data [‘respond’]
Advanced Oversight Capability Taser 7
Integrated to BWC Activates BWC upon deployment
Additional options for use
Smart voltage technology
More accurate device
Automated technology<br>
slide9. Question: So how does the Dover PD Taser Program become part of the Body Worn Camera presentation?
Answer: While researching the Axon BWC product, certain facts came to light about the relationship between our Conducted Energy Device (CED) program and the proposed BWC program.<br>
slide10. Taser Model x-26 This was the original device issued to Officers.
Axon discontinued it around 2014.
It is no longer supported with parts/service.
Very few remain at Dover PD.<br>
slide11. Taser Model x-26-P This is the current device issued to Officers.
It has better technology & adjustable energy effect.
Most Officers at Dover PD carry this device.
Most will be beyond warranty by 2022.<br>
slide12. Taser Model x-26-P It is more weather-proof and has reduced voltage.
This device is generally less effective.
There is conflicting research data in print.
May have resulted in the increased UOF (Unintended Consequence)
Source: American Public Media<br>
slide13. Taser Model T-7 It has wireless connection to BWC.
This device adjusts energy to the probes.
It has automatic in/out data transfer.
Also integrates to our reporting software.
[BlueTeam, IAPro]<br>
slide14. Taser Model T-7 Avoids close to $20,000 in X-26-P-related costs pending in January of 2021 (batteries/cartridges)
X-26-P on track to early end of life.
Axon migrating toward subscription model.
Also migrating back to the ‘two cartridge’ model<br>
slide15. Axon Body camera 3 Reduced Motion Blurring
Enhanced Low-light performance
Live-stream capabilities
Now has 4 microphones for better audio<br>
slide16. Axon Body camera 3 Comes with a blue tooth device
[Hand-held for each officer]
Wireless real-time connection to Taser 7
Wireless auto-activate capabilities
Multiple mounting options<br>
slide17. Axon/Taser officer safety plan Begins with the merger of the existing Taser and pending Body Worn Camera programs
Includes a five-year package - covers all devices & accessories
70 New Body Worn Cameras with two (2) sets of scheduled replacement cameras (damage/failures/upgrades) [210 total]
85 New T-7 Tasers with replacement Tasers (damage/failures)
Device Docking Stations, Cables and Replacement Batteries
Replacement Training and Duty Taser Cartridges [Unlimited]<br>
slide18. Axon/Taser officer safety plan Concurrent unlimited subscription to data storage via Evidence.com
All training-related necessities
Full-body Taser training suit
Instructor and Online User training
Virtual Reality Training System
Equipment & Current/Future software
Vehicle hardware for data transfer and activation features<br>
slide19. Axon/Taser officer safety plan Axon Evidence.com Complete DPD File Support
Desktop/Mobile Integration
Audit Trails (Digital)
Automated Redaction
Automated File Identification
Connection to Attorney General Virtual Reality Training Schizophrenia
Suicidal Ideation
Autism
Hard of Hearing
Peer Intervention (pending)
Post-Traumatic Stress (pending)<br>
slide20. Axon/Taser officer safety plan Total Cost of Officer Safety Plan is $799,930.10 over 5 yrs.
Back-loaded (Covid-19) payment plan
Year 1 is 8% or $63,944.70 (can be deferred 90 days)
Years 2 - 5 are equally divided at $183,996.35 per year
Effective “out-clause” language if funding threatened
Some program costs may still be eligible for grant funding
Remaining costs in support of X-26-P will be either defrayed or eliminated<br>
slide21. Evidence Manager Position Total Cost of Evidence Manager is $357,572.00 over 5 years
$69,274.00 in FY 22
$80,236.00 by FY 26
A part-time position may be necessary in the future should workload exceed current projections<br>
slide22. Overall value to Dover A demonstrated commitment to industry best practices
Ownership of leading-edge technology in multiple categories
Improved organizational efficiency in case management
Meeting stakeholder expectations in 21st Century law enforcement
Cost consolidation at a strategic moment [1st Gen BWC, 3rd Gen Taser, COVID pricing]
Multi-disciplinary approach to better outcomes following force application *Training (VR, Online, Live) *Technology (inter-operability) *Oversight (random, event)<br>
slide23. Risk Management Taser units not under warranty no longer have the Axon insurance coverage
10 Million per occurrence if harm is related to product failure
Information from Traveler’s Insurance Company
Most use-of-force related lawsuits are now Taser deployments
More than all other less-lethal events combined (baton/pepper spray/etc.)<br>
slide24. the bottom line The cost of the Axon BWC, by itself, over 5 yrs., is just under $293,000
Historical data projects our Taser X-26-P costs, over 5 yrs., is over $130,000
Staffing aside, to incorporate the Axon BWC, without OSP, is $423,000
The basic difference between the two approaches is appox. $377,000
Historical data shows there is grant money available to defray Taser costs
Grant dollars are potentially available for BWC technology as well<br>
slide25. the bottom line The Officer Safety Program upgrade delivers the following:
A better, smarter, more humane conducted energy device (CED) **
Automated assurance that Taser uses are captured via BWC features
Automated assurance that Firearms leaving the holster are captured as well
Automated BWC activation parameters via vehicle installed signal unit
Little room for Axon to deflect liability back to the City of Dover [Warranty]
A giant stride forward in training capability for CED (At-risk populations)
Currently in use at the New Castle Co. Police Department [Baltimore/Annapolis]<br>
slide26. Axon/taser offers the most complete solution to the Body worn Camera needs of the Dover police. The “Officer Safety Plan” has value in the direct delivery of proven BWC technology as well as the indirect benefits to Patrol, Investigations, Training, Administration and Professional Standards through it’s companion products.<br>
