Police Department The FY 2024/25 proposed budget includes budget items that will provide
significant enhancements in surveillance, data analysis, operational efficiency and officer safety.
The proposed equipment is listed below.

• Real Time Crime Center Technology (RTCC) & Flock License Plate Reader (LPRs): RTCC
technology allows for the live monitoring of crime activities, enabling quicker response

times and more efficient deployment of resources. Flock (LPRs) can identify stolen
vehicles, track suspect movements, and provide real-time alerts to officers, significantly
improving crime detection and prevention capabilities. The projected funding for these
items is $49,720.
• Axon Tethered Drone: Funding of $9,892 is budgeted for the tethered drone, which would
provide continuous aerial monitoring, an extended flight duration, ability for rapid
emergency deployment and captures high-resolution footage for officers to use.
