Purpose

TO AUTHORIZE CONTRACTING WITH SGTS INC TO UPGRADE THE SERVER, CAMERAS & MICROPHONES IN THE DETECTIVES INTERVIEW SYSTEM AND AMEND THE 2023 LAW ENFORCEMENT BUDGET

Background

The sheriff’s department uses and maintains a video and audio recording system as a part of their investigative services.  The exiting digital video recording (DVR) was originally installed around 2016.  The DVR had to be rebuilt in 2020 due to the system starting to fail. The recoding system runs and records 24 hours a day 7 days a week. With the system running 24/7 the life of the system is shortened. The Detective division is required by state statute to record and maintain interviews or interrogation conducted in the interview rooms that the system serves.  The current DVR, cameras, and microphones are in need of updating, along with the ability to turn the recording on when a person enters the interview room. The Buildings Services Assistant Facilities Director requested a proposal to upgrade the cameras, microphones and DVR to be consistent with the recently upgraded cameras in the Law Enforcement Center.  SGTS Inc. responded to the request for proposal at a cost of $19,682.00 to upgrade the system.
