SUMMER OFFICERS/TRADE-OFF DATES:
Police Chief Ault reported CSU has requested return of the summer
officers for campus traffic duty on August 28, 29 and 30. A few of
the officers will remain in Estes on Friday and Saturday, August 29
and 30 with all summer officers being present to direct traffic in
Estes on Sunday and Monday, August 31, September 1. Full-time
officers will assist with traffic on August 29 and 30. The
Committee recommends that six part-time officers return to Estes
Park for traffic duty during the Scottish Highland Festival,
September 6-7.
RADAR:
A letter and related information from Officer Emerine, regarding a
survey conducted by members of the Estes Park Police Department of
potential radar units, was submitted to the Committee. After
interviews with three representatives of radar manufacturers ("MPH",
Kustom and Decatur), the survey concludes that Decatur Electronics'
"Hunter" is the most cost efficient and reliable radar unit
available and recommends purchase of these units for placement in
three patrol vehicles at the following cost:
3 units
3 extra antennas
3 switches
- 695.00/unit
- 200.00 each
- 25.00 each
$ 2,085.00
600.00
75.00
Total $ 2,760.00
Decatur's unit is the only computerized radar unit available, is the
smallest unit on the market, and service time is minimal (72 hours
to 1 week). Kustom and MPH do not offer the same advantages as
Decatur and cannot compete competitively with the price. Due to
this new concept in radar units, the company is aggressively
pursuing sales; hence, one reason for the reduced cost of this unit.
In discussions with the Westminister Police Department, Chief Ault
reported that Westminister has had no problems with the unit.
Approximately twelve police department personnel will receive a
one -day training course at CLETA and forty hours of "hands on"
training in Estes Park. Upon receipt of an order, Decatur will ship
within 4-6 weeks.
The Committee recommends purchase of three radar units (with extra
antennas and accompanying optional switches) from Decatur
Electronics, Decatur, Illinois at a total cost of $2,760.00. The
Committee also recommends that police department personnel receive
required training in the use of these units.
I.S.O. COMMERCIAL RISK SERVICES, INC.:
Fire Chief Rumley submitted a letter from I.S.O. Commercial Risk
Services, Inc. dated July 18, 1986, indicating that they have
reviewed the information forwarded to them by the Estes Park Fire
Department and plan to conduct the survey as soon as possible. This
survey will determine a fire insurance classification which may
result in reduced fire insurance rates.
