Title
Joint resolution authorizing a two-year contract with Insight Public Sector SLED, Chandler, Arizona for the purchase of 15 Flock Safety Cameras for the Lake County Sheriff's Office in the amount of $90,000 out of the Sheriff's Asset Forfeiture Fund.
Staff Summary
* Flock safety cameras are solar powered cloud-based software systems shown to reduce crime by capturing objective evidence and delivering unbiased investigative leads to law enforcement.
* Flock software identifies body type, make, color, license plate (partial, missing, or covered plates), temporary plates, license plate state and unique features like decals, bumper stickers and accessories that create a traceable vehicle fingerprint in real time.
* A large percentage of crimes occur with vehicle involvement and obtaining a vehicle license plate is often the best evidence to assist in solving crimes. License plates are open to plain view to anyone on the public roads and give officers the first investigative leads when vehicles involved in criminal activity pass through a Flock Camera.
* Pursuant to Section 33.115 of the Lake County Purchasing Ordinance, Cooperative Purchasing, Lake County may participate in a cooperative purchasing agreement for the procurement of goods with one or more public procurement units in accordance with an agreement entered between the participants.
* The Lake County Sheriff's Office identified a joint purchasing contract with Flock through OMNIA Partners Cooperative Contract held by Insight Public Sector works contract number 23-692-03, to procure Flock Cameras that were competitively solicited and awarded.
* The Sheriff's Office is purchasing the cameras using its Sheriff Asset Forfeiture Fund for the first year's payment in Fiscal Year 2024. The Sheriff intends to request the year 2 and subsequent years' costs through its General Fund budget.
