In a meeting on Monday, commissioners will vote to renew the city\u2019s contract with Axon Enterprise for an additional five years at $605,204.97.<\/p>\n
The renewal covers 50 body-worn cameras, along with hardware, software, storage, and evidence management tools through fiscal year 2032.<\/p>\n

Officials also cited the ease of use and staff familiarity as key factors in recommending the renewal, noting that continuity with the existing platform reduces the need for additional training.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur personnel are familiar with the equipment and associated technology, which minimizes the need for additional training and allows officers to remain focused on their primary responsibilities,\u201d the department noted.<\/p>\n
Beyond operational efficiency, department leaders emphasized the program\u2019s broader public safety value.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe body-worn camera system benefits both our officers and the community we serve,\u201d officials wrote in the renewal recommendation. \u201cIt provides an objective record of interactions, enhances accountability, assists with investigations and prosecutions, and can help resolve complaints or questions regarding officer conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n
The renewal also maintains continuity of operations across the county, including with the State Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
Staff has recommended the city commission approve the renewal and authorize the city manager and city attorney to prepare and execute all applicable contract documents.<\/p>\n
Commissioners will vote on the contract renewal during a meeting on Monday at 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
