Body Worn Camera 2021 Program recommendation Dover Police Department<br>
02
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>
Transparency
Accountability
Evidentiary Proof
Acquisition of emerging technologies
within the criminal justice system and policing profession.<br>
03
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>

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>

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>

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>

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>

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>

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)

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>

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>

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>

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)

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>
