Vendor said the device is flexible to use any Wi -Fi, and can store up to 128 networks. Commissioner Rich asked if it is constantly uploaded. Vendor said no. He said the deputy can select to upload at the end of a shift, or it happens automatically when the device is in the dock. Commissioner McKee said his question was answered above. Commissioner Jacobs congratulated Sheriff Blackwood for getting to this point. Commissioner Jacobs said when the BOCC previously talked about this, there was discussion regarding the public record component, and there were some different opinions as to how to proceed. He asked if there was an update on this topic. Sheriff Blackwood said he will be handing out his Department's adopted policy, which reflects the State law. He said there are different ways the content can be released, and the most important thing to remember is that anyone who feels they were mistreated will not be given the video, but are able to view it. Commissioner Price asked if this equipment will substitute for the regular radios. Sheriff Blackwood said it is in addition to the regular radios. He said instead of the officer having a body mic and a camera, he /she will have one device that does both functions. He said he really cares about the way the officers look, and this equipment allows function without a lot of extra stuff being added to the uniform. Commissioner Price asked if an officer is in a rural area with no Wi -Fi, will there still be a regular radio frequency, by which to communicate. Sheriff Blackwood said the radio frequency and the downloading of information are two separate things. He said the radio works off the radio, and the camera downloading happens at access points at certain times. Vendor said the radio will be able to work on the radio system, regardless of Wi -Fi. Commissioner Price asked if maintenance of records have been considered. Sheriff Blackwood said all of this is addressed in their policy. He said his IT team has met with Motorola, as well as County IT, to work out all questions. He said maintenance will cost about $300,000. Commissioner Marcoplos referred to the hypothetical situation of a child who reports police mistreatment to his /her parent, and the parents look at the video and are disturbed. He asked if there is a process from that point forward. Sheriff Blackwood said these steps are covered in the state statute, but HB 972 is not perfect. He said this statute is always being talked about, with possible tweaking of the statute moving forward. Chair Dorosin said he would like to know when the cameras will be turned on or off, and how this decision is made. He clarified that the $300,000 is the cost of the equipment, and asked if there is a cost estimate for the data storage. Vendor said the $300,000 includes both the device and the back end storage for 5 years. Chair Dorosin asked if the policy will address how long information be kept, and how and when things are deleted. Sheriff Blackwood said the policy will address this, and it is open for discussion. Chair Dorosin said it is a complicated situation.
