RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with Flock Group, Inc., on behalf of the Office of hte Sheriff, effective October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2024 in an amount not to exceed $70,200 for the acquisition and installation of automatic license plate reader cameras in County Service Area P-2B and provision of a hosted software system.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County Impact; 100% funded by County Service Area P2-B Alamo.

BACKGROUND:

Flock Group, Inc. provides license plate reading cameras with 24/7 monitoring for homes, businesses, and neighborhoods to protect against property crime, violent crime, stolen vehicles, and more.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In June of 2021, members of the Alamo Police Service Advisory Committee (P-2B) began to review options for increased security in their area due to increased burglaries and violent crime in their community. A review of actual crime statistics in the Alamo area did not show a significant increase in reported crimes; however, there were several high-profile cases that news outlets covered in the area.

After reviewing several options and fiscal impact, the Advisory Committee agreed that implementing automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras in the district neighborhoods will significantly help prevent and solve crime in the Alamo district.

Flock ALPR cameras provide the preventative and investigative value needed in the Alamo area. The cameras are the same type utilized in the neighboring community of Danville and would provide continuing coverage of the area to prevent and investigate crimes within the communities.

The proposed contract obligates the County to indemnify Flock for any third party claims arising out of a breach of County’s obligations under the agreement, County’s and from County’s use of the Services. Flock’s liability under the agreement is limited to the amounts paid by County in the 12 months preceding any claim.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

ALPR cameras will not be purchased and there will be no additional measures in place to deter and solve crime.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
