The Board approves a five-year Axon agreement
The Board approves purchase and implementation of Probation body-worn cameras under an Axon agreement not to exceed $52,090.53. The item is adopted on the consent calendar. [1]
On March 9, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved a five-year agreement with Axon Enterprise for the purchase and implementation of body-worn cameras for the Probation Department. The amount was not to exceed $52,090.53. The item appeared on the consent calendar, the group of items approved in one vote, as Resolution 2021-119.[1]
The same consent calendar included a separate Probation agreement with Lexipol for policy management and training. The minutes do not connect that agreement to a body-camera policy.[1]
The Board record does not state the number or model of cameras, the Evidence.com storage tier, the deployment date, or the rules for recording and retention. It also does not say what happened after the stated five-year agreement term.[1] The approved status on this page reflects what the minutes establish without treating the approved purchase as proof of current operation.
