POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Replacement Laptops for Patrol & Mobile Command Vehicle — Request Approval.
In 2003, the Town through a federal grant, purchased laptops for each patrol officer and
patrol supervisor to be used in the patrol car as part of a wireless project. The laptops
purchased were standard office/personal type equipment in lieu of the more expensive
laptops built for police work. IT recommends these laptops be replaced. Funds were
not budgeted for 2006; however, there is adequate space savings from the
department's current budget due to seven vacancies in the past year.
IT recommends the Panasonic CF-29 Tough Book, a sturdier computer for patrol work.
This particular unit will be phased out by the manufacturer this year in lieu of a smaller
unit with the same technology and components; however, the manufacturer will
continue to support the product through its useful life. These units, if single user issued,
have a life expectancy of five years. Staff recommends initiating an incremental
replacement schedule for these units starting in 2011. An additional laptop is being
requested for the Mobile Command Vehicle that would be funded by LETA.
Panasonic Tough Book CF-29 NASGZBM
Base price $4,055.00
Office Pro Software $ 296.00
Cases $ 30.00
Total unit cost $4,381.00
Mgr. Pallissard informed the Committee the old laptops would be used in house for
emergencies such as a pandemic flu outbreak. After further discussion, the Committee
recommended the purchase of 13 laptops for patrol in an amount of $56,953 from
account 101-2100-421-26-33 and 1 laptop for the Mobile Command Vehicle paid by
LETA funds in an amount not to exceed $5,500 from account 101-2155-421-26-33.
