The Traffic Unit will be purchasing rifles which are slightly modified from standard Patrol rifles due to limited mounting applications on their motorcycles. • Respirator Fit Tester $9,900 Cal OSHA requires annual testing of the department's gas masks. A quantitative fit tests the adequacy of the respirator fit by numerically measuring the amount of leakage into the respirator. In past years the department has relied on the availability of a fit tester from the fire department. That equipment is dated and not able to produce a written record of the tests. Purchase of our own Respirator Fit Tester will permit the Police Department to be self-sufficient in our annual testing, the portability of the tester will allow for testing in various locations, and results of individual tests can be stored electronically and as necessary printed and placed in employee training files. • Crime Prevention Supplies $3,000 The Youth and Community Services, Crime Prevention, and DARE are seeking public outreach campaign monies to impact front line law enforcement services. These outreach items and materials would include items such as personal alarms, portable door alarms, property ID dots and pens, ID and fraud protection pens, and counterfeit detecting pens. Specifically branded items and materials with our social media tools are effective in outreach efforts and can serve to reduce crime and enhance law enforcement services. • Portable/Lightweight Video Cameras $2,600 Since the Police Department has delved into social media and webcasting, it is important to have sufficient equipment to provide the level of quality the public expects from our department. Today's small and lightweight cameras are designed to be strapped to individuals, equipment, etc. in an effort to obtain "action" footage. These types of cameras would allow for recording in inclement weather without the risk of water damage. They can also provide the ability to record the same event from multiple angles, recorded video can be used for both promotional and training purposes. • Police Motorcycle Emergency Lights $14,500 The Police Department's motorcycles are currently outfitted with first generation LED lights which were introduced into the fleet in 1997. As the fleet was transitioned these lights were transferred to new motorcycles. The latest generation of lights is significantly brighter with a 43% increase in candela power and a wider viewing angle. New lighting will aid in increasing the visibility of the police motorcycles while they are being operated in emergency mode. • Motorcycle Rifle Mounts $8,200 The mounting of rifles on the police motorcycles presents some unique challenges due to limited space. One solution is the mounting of the rifle inside one of the saddle bags; this is permissible on the Harley Davidson models due to the large saddle bags. The purchase of rifle mounting kits will permit secure installation of the rifle inside a saddle Page 4 of 5
