RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No.005025 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $600,000 from Service Area P-6 funding and appropriating it in the Sheriff's Office (0255) Training Division (2501) for the purchase of Tasers.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases revenues and appropriations by $600,000. There is no impact on the County General Fund. This purchase is to be funded through Sheriff’s budget Org# 2501 using the Service Area P-6 Ad Valorem Property Tax fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff’s current stock of TASER Conducted Energy Weapon systems, Axon Enterprise’s X26P, has reached its five-year recommended use life span and needs to be replaced. Per Axon, the X26P will soon be discontinued and no longer manufactured due to its dated technology. The Office of the Sheriff would like to purchase the Taser 7, also manufactured by Axon Enterprises, as a replacement of the X26P weapons systems. The Taser 7 is Axon Enterprise’s newest model and has improved technology and features that are in more in line with today’s law enforcement industry standards. The Taser weapons system has proven to be an essential tool for the Office of the Sheriff personnel, and has proven to be highly effective in subduing combative/assaultive subjects while reducing the potential for injury to both the deputy and the suspect.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve this appropriation adjustment could result in the Office of the Sheriff not being able to purchase equipment necessary to ensure Public Safety.
