Future Budget Considerations

Travel and Schools - Funding for Travel and School accounts has remained relatively static for a number of years, although expenses
such as registration, travel, food and lodging have increased, along with the requirement of attending trainings that have come into
existence in recent years. The Department is needing to seek additional funds in the next fiscal year to ensure adequate funding for
travel and training.

Renovation of Training, Conference and Media Room - Renovation would include update of AV equipment, and replacement of
tables and chairs in the Training Room and Patrol Briefing Room. The building is going into its 21st year of existence and has had
very little renovation and update to these areas other than flooring. Updating the Training Room would include upgraded projectors,
screens and TV monitors - this would be a step in establishing the location as a secondary Emergency Operations Center, as well as
providing an area that would accommodate groups to test and learn computer programs and software used by the Police
Department. The Criminal Investigations Division Media Room is in need of a technology upgrade with computer and software
systems that would improve the process of investigating crimes that rely on the analysis and review of recordings and other digital
evidence.

Renovation of Locker Rooms and Weight Rooms - These areas are original to the building and no longer accommodate the
additional equipment carried by law enforcement officers. Renovations would include transitioning to larger lockers to adequately
store equipment, additional lockers and expansion of male locker area.

In-Car and Body Cameras - The system is entering into its fifth year of operation and devices and back-office equipment are
beginning to fail. Although the entire system, including devices, hardware and software are under warranty, these plans will become
cost prohibitive in FY2022 as the system will be entering its 6th year.
