personnel have also provided input on preferred locations for camera deployment, and they will <br /> also do on-sight analyses before the LPR's are put in place (if approved by the council). <br /> The Chief of Police, the IT Director and other staff have met several times with Flock Safety via <br /> webinars. The Chief of Police and IT Director believe the leasing of the LPR Cameras is the best <br /> and most efficient option for the City's Neighborhood Camera Project. The lease opportunity <br /> allows this project to be a turnkey operation with a pilot program beginning in early summer. <br /> This would allow the City to take advantage of a 60-day pilot program with at least the 40 non- <br /> Johns Hill cameras in place during the high crime period of the summer. The Johns Hill project's <br /> cameras will be installed in coordination with other infrastructure improvements being made this <br /> summer in the Johns Hill neighborhood. Staff has not yet determined if it will be possible to <br /> install all of the cameras at about the same time. <br /> As part of the staff research,the Chief of Police has spoken to several police departments that <br /> have this same system in place. All have been very complimentary of the system. One Illinois <br /> police department had 10 cameras installed in June of 2020. The cameras were integral in <br /> solving 2 homicides and 1 armed robbery in the first six months. This local police department is <br /> currently adding 15 more cameras. <br /> Approval of the proposed lease will require amendment of the budget at a later date. <br />
