DISCUSSION
On May 10 2005 (M&C G-14793) the City Council authorized the City Manager to submit to the Crime
Control and Prevention District (CPD) Board of Directors an amendment of $292 026 to the FY2004-2005
budget for the following equipment:
1 Child Identification Digital Camera System Replacement ($39 975) The Crime Prevention Unit makes
Child I D cards for the Operation Safe Child program issuing almost 10 000 cards annually that could be
used for identifying information if a child is abducted
2. Sig Sauer Weapon Replacement Plan ($99 830) The Police Weapons Range is recommending
replacement of the Berettas currently in use by officers due to the age and failure rates
3 Crime Response Team (CRT) Surveillance and Raid Equipment ($48,208) The Police Department is
receiving grant funding for the East Division to purchase equipment for CRT including ballistic vest plates,
night vision binoculars Kevlar helmets headsets and spotting scopes. These tools are necessary for the
teams to execute search warrants and conduct surveillance It is appropriate to expand the tools to the
three other CRTs In addition this proposal includes specialized entry shotguns for all four teams.
4 Firearms Microscope/Mideo System ($104 013) The Firearms Section of the Crime Lab is staffed
with three examiners who currently share one microscope that is out-of-date New equipment will increase
the efficiency of the unit and offer better optics with digital recording capability that will improve evidence
documentation and court presentations
The CCPD Board held a public hearing on May 19 .2005 and recommended amending the Sig Saur
Replacement Plan by doubling the funding to reduce the replacement scheduled from four years to two
years This action increases that program to $199 660 and the total mid-year amendment to $391 856 This
request, as amended was unanimously approved
