Background and Discussion:

On October 10, 2023, Court approved a renewal option with Utility Associates, Inc. for body worn camera for Harris County. Since that time there have been additional requests made for body worn cameras from several of the Constable’s offices. These additional body worn cameras are needed as vehicles previously purchases are finally being received and increased hiring by some of the Constables Offices.

 

Expected Impact:

This increases the overall number of body-worn cameras deployed in the field. The additional cameras are also for the increase contract patrol officers. A portion of this expense is recovered from the revenue of contract patrol.
