Regional Strategic Planning Summary-Replace and update patrol car video equipment per state Page 3 mandate Page Page Project Synopsis —provide a brief description in each of the categories below: Problem Statement What problem(s) will be impacted by the project(s)? VHS and micro-cassette technology has become obsolete and needs replacement. Under separate grant application a request has been made to purchase a computer server to house in-car video recordings; however,funding to outfit the entire fleet with digital format video is necessary. In addition, a digital tape recorder and software solution is necessary to ensure that the recordings cannot be appended should they be needed as evidence in future court proceedings. Provide locally relevant, grant-specific statistical evidence with sources cited below: City reviews requring audio and/or videotape retrieval by internal affairs: 2007 -31; 2008 -44.
