DEPARTMENT: Police Department
SUBMITTED BY: Jason Arres, Chief of Police
BACKGROUND:
On August 6, 2021, the City Manager awarded a one-year contract to Flock Safety based on a one-year subscription-based model. The award was made pursuant to an RFP issued by the Naperville Police Department (NPD) to source a qualified vendor to furnish and install 18 solar powered LPR cameras at locations near the City's roadway entrances and exits. The cameras capture and store image data used to help deter crime and increase clearance rates. The annual fee includes installation and ownership rights to the captured data. The City may elect to renew the contract in one-year increments.
On December 7, 2021, the City Manager awarded Change Order #1 to purchase 11 additional cameras and add advance search software to help identify vehicles based on specific search criteria.

This change order is requested for one additional camera to be installed at Walmart. Walmart agreed to the camera being installed on their property because of the number of calls for service at their location.

Walmart awarded the Police Department $1,750 from their community grant program to help offset the cost of the camera.
At this time not all 30 cameras have been installed due to delays with getting permits approved. As of the end of December, 27 cameras have been installed with 3 remaining to be completed in early 2023. ...
