RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with Axon Enterprise, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $12,503,168 for the purchase of body-worn cameras, in-car camera systems, storage, and software for the term of January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2032.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Total cost of agreement is $12,503,168; annual cost is approximately $1.2 million. By entering into a 10-year agreement, the Office of the Sheriff will be saving $5 million over the term of the agreement.The Board of Supervisors has approved an allocation of Measure X funding for this program in the amount of $1.3 million annually through June 30, 2024. The Office of the Sheriff will be requesting continued Measure X funding at a future date. In the event the Board of Supervisors does not approve continued funding, the Office of the Sheriff will attempt to identify other funding sources.








BACKGROUND:

Axon has been providing body-worn cameras for 10 years, evidence management software for 13 years, and in-car camera systems for 6 years, having done so for law enforcement agencies across the United States and in numerous other countries. Axon was selected as the vendor which would provide the Office of the Sheriff with the greatest value after a request for proposal (RFP) process in which several vendors submitted bids were evaluated. This contract will allow the Office of the Sheriff to increase transparency, accountability, and thoroughly investigate citizen complaints, while also collecting video evidence that can be used in future prosecutions.  
  
Under the terms of the agreement, Axon’s liability is limited to the amount paid by County in the twelve months preceding the claim, except with respect to a breach of County data, which is limited to $5,000,000. County may only terminate the agreement for an uncured breach by Axon or the board of supervisors’ failure to appropriate funds for amounts due under the agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Office of the Sheriff will lose the ability to increase transparency, reduce citizen complaints, and enhance evidence collection used for prosecution.
