The South Station (Station‐681) has surpassed its useful life span as the facilityinfrastructure no longer meets the needs of the UVFA as current staffing levels haveoutgrown the existing living space. Station‐681, initially a California Highway Patrolstation, was converted into a fire station and designed to house one full‐time staffmember; UVFA currently staffs the station with three full‐time team members per day(24‐hours). Additionally, as UVFA grows, it is anticipated that a full‐time ambulancewith another two full‐time team members will be there per day in the foreseeablefuture. Station‐681's current footprint would not be equitable or appropriate for use ora remodel due to size.

The Ukiah Police Department has been using the same Computer AidedDispatch (CAD) platform since 1998. The provider of this CAD system changedownership multiple times, since our initial purchase. Currently there are only 6agencies in the state using this system and it does not have standardfunctionality such as mapping. It is likely that this CAD system will bediscontinued in the future. Fortunately, the current owner of this old system isour Records Management System provider and offers a modernization upgrade.This would allow for the seamless flow of information from our CAD system,Records Management System and our MDT’s. This modernization softwarewould also provide a mapping component to our CAD and MDT software whichis an industry standard now. Additional Comments: Cost of project per Fiscal year may vary depending onstart date, but total cost is identified. Moved from starting in FYE 24, andincreased total project amount from $491,593. Staff is still looking for grantfunding. Additionally, current staff resources are unable to support a project ofthis size.The Ukiah Police Department maintains a universal power supply, which isfailing and past its life cycle. This UPS is a battery backup system which isneeded to maintain phone and radio communications in our EmergencyDispatch Center in the event of a power outage and generator failure. Additional Comments: Cost of project includes equipment and on site serviceand setup. Increased budget amount for FYE 23 from $28,727. $ 35,208 38,333 $ 90,325 $ 90,325 $ 90,325 $ 180,651 $ 220,617 $ 617,126 $ The Ukiah Police Department has maintained a Gun Range at the end of VichySprings Road adjacent the old dump property for more than 50 years. Inprevious years, staff identified the need to perform what is known as bermmining prior to any future improvements and had previous budgeted monies inthe Fiscal Year 19/20, which was cut due to COVID, but still remains a priority.Additional Comments: Currently there are a number of improvements at thefacility that need to be made, however none of these can be accomplished, untilthis can occur.

Annually the Police Department schedules the replacement of two patrol cars.Typically, a patrol car lasts about 3 years before it reaches the end of it's servicelife. It takes the department about a year to order, receive and outfit a car forpatrol use. By scheduling regular replacement of cars, the department ensureswe have enough cars available for use. Additional Comments: The Department has maintained a vehicle replacementplan of two vehicles per year, which was previously reduced due to COVID‐19.The budget has been increased from $100k yearly, as current vehiclereplacement actual cost exceeds prior budgeted amounts. This is also aconsideration of inflation. Revised PC's. Increased amount in FYE 23 from$150k to reflect cost increase for two hybrid vehicles currently on order.Increased future years from $150k as well in consideration of inflationThe Ukiah Police Department has deployed Tasers since 2018, utilizing a 5‐yearpurchasing program to maintain current equipment and which provides supportfor hardware, supplies, and technology through the term of the agreement. Thecurrent agreement with Axon expires in 2022. Additional Comments: As explained in our prior CIP plan, the department hasmaintained a purchasing plan to support our tasers, which is expiring this year.Unless renewed, equipment will not be repairable or supported. Yearly pricinghas increased from $15k. Unencumbered contract was awarded FYE 23.Reduced amount in FYE 23/24/25/26/27 from $32k to reflect five‐year contractcommitment that will have to be rebudgeted for the life of the contract.The Ukiah Police Department has deployed body‐cameras to memorialize officercontacts, criminal conduct, and investigative activities for more than 10 years.These video and audio recordings are used as evidence in criminal and civilcases, as well as for internal quality assurance. The current purchasing programexpires in 2023, and provides for evidence storage, current and reliableequipment, and support for hardware and software for the term of theagreement. Additional Comments: As explained in our prior CIP plan, the department hasmaintained a purchasing plan to support our body worn cameras, which isexpiring in May of 2023. Unless renewed, equipment will not be repairable orsupported, essentially making them inoperable. Due to the fact that our tasersare also due for renewal, the department is exploring a bundling option as a costsaving measure. Overall cost has increased from $79k. Unencumbered contract was awarded FYE 23. Reduced amount in FYE 23/24/25/26/27 from $52k toreflect five‐year contract commitment that will have to be rebudgeted for thelife of the contract.The Ukiah Police Department would like to purchase two "DJI Mavic 3T"unmanned aircraft systems (drones) from Axon. The drones are $7,500 each.Each drone has an annual software cost of $2,200 a year and a $360 pilot licensefee. Ideally the Ukiah Police Department would have two staff trained to pilotthe drones. The training for each pilot would be a one time cost of $999. Additional Comments: Unmanned Aircraft could be very useful and important ifworking a barricaded hostage situation, natural disaster such as flood, or fire.

The Ukiah Police Department would like to purchase and implement anadditional 12 Flock cameras in or around the Ukiah City Limits to help withsolving felony crimes occurring in our community. Additional Comments: Flock cameras have been proven to assist officers inlocating stolen vehicles, wanted persons and helped in solve crimes around theCity of Ukiah. Currently we have some areas of the City of Ukiah that are notcovered by Flock Cameras. The Ukiah Police Department would like to update it's Fleet Cameras inside thepolice patrol vehicles. Currently the 9 UPD patrol vehicles are outfitted withFleet 2 Axon cameras. These cameras are becoming outdated and will need anupgrade in the next few years. Updating our Fleet 2 cameras to Fleet 3 cameraswould give the police department a wider view and the Feel 3 cameras are alsoLicense Plate Reader compatible. Additional Comments: For an additional fee the LPR can be turned on to assistofficers in locating stolen vehicles or felony wanted vehicles entered into theState of California DMV system and Stolen Vehicle System. The proposed Axonquote for Fleet 3 cameras would provide new cameras for all 9 patrol vehicles,include all hardware, software, and warranty. The payment would be broken upinto 5 years for a total of $122,193 (FYE 29 not currently on CIP). The Ukiah Police Department is in need of 13 new body armor vests for ourpolice officers. We have several that are end of life and need replacement inthe upcoming year. The cost of a bullet proof vest is approximately $1,000 avest. Additional Comments: Vests are personally fitted for each officer and are forthe safety of our staff. $ 241,928 74,380 $ 325,928 $ 274,367 $ 274,367 $ 99,367 $ 24,439 $ 1,240,396 $ Project NameProject DescriptionOrg/ObjectProject NumberAllocation to Multi‐fundsProject StatusFunding SourceFunding IdentifiedFunding Source Add'l CommentsCosts to dateEstimated Costs per Fiscal YearTotalsCommentsCity Council StatusShovel Ready Not Reviewed X

Our current AT&T Internet gateway provides service to all of the City of Ukiahdepartments for Internet access, as well as Public Safety access to lawenforcement websites and other important services. If service fails, we donot have a failover scenario in place. A failover scenario would involve anadditional Internet Gateway with a different Internet service provider (ISP).If one ISP fails, the gateway would failover to the alternate one available.This would ensure service availability, virtually 100% of the time. Additional Comments: Moved from FYE 21 due to COVID‐19. Reduced FYE22 amount from $166,800, and FYE 23 from $48,400. This is contingent onour Cloud Data and Server Migration in 21/22, which will determinenecessary bandwidth for our current gateway. Moved from FYE 23.
These switches connect the City's computers, phones, printers, and Wi‐Fiunits into the core infrastructure. The switches allow these devices toconnect to the Internet and internal servers. They will be End‐Of‐Life and willno longer be supported by the manufacturer.Additional Comments: Some switches are already acquired and will beinstalled 22/23.These switches are the center core of our network infrastructure. They serveas data conduits for all City of Ukiah operations. They will be end‐of‐life, aswarranty and support runs out during this time‐frame.Additional Comments: Full City broadband connectivity expected by the end of the fiscal year 2023.
Additional Comments: Contract awarded to Magellan in December 2022 for the implementation of the "Digital Infrastructure Design and ImplementationPlan" in the amount of up to $252,339.End of Life Routers at all City sites need to be replaced, as these constitutesecurity breaches from old firmware, etc. Also, support is not available incase of outages.Additional Comments:

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Police Department Annual Report Review.
DEPARTMENT: Police PREPARED BY: Cedric Crook, Interim Police Chief PRESENTER: Cedric Crook, Chief of Police
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Police Annual Report
Summary: Staff will present the Ukiah Police Department's Annual Report for 2022.
Background: The Ukiah Police Department uses five goal areas to guide priorities and objectives and to measure performance from year to year. The Department’s Annual Report represents our performance within these goal areas, as well as significant accomplishments.
Discussion: For the Ukiah Police Department, 2022 was yet another challenging year. The Department continued to experience a shortage of sworn officers and dispatchers. In a two-month period of 2022 (June and July), the number of command staff personnel was cut in half. This was due to the last Police Chief being terminated and Patrol Lieutenant Andy Phillips retiring. During this period of transition, the Department maintained its high level of community service. 2022 saw the promotions of Detective Sergeant Tom Corning to Patrol Lieutenant, and Sergeant Andy Snyder to Detective Sergeant.
In 2022, the Ukiah Police Department responded to 18,915 calls for service. This was 152 fewer calls for service than in 2021. The Department took a total of 2,659 reports, which was 239 more reports than 2021. In a five-day period in March of 2022, the Department investigated two homicides (the total for the whole year). Criminal reports for rape, robbery, arson, assaults, and theft were all down slightly. Criminal reports for burglary, stolen vehicles, and homicide all increased. The number of vehicles being reported stolen in 2022 versus 2021 increased by 50%. The Department investigated and made 493 felony arrests (up from 2021 slightly), 545 misdemeanor arrests (62 more arrests than 2021), and 153 DUI arrests (21 more than 2021). The Department submitted 1,234 reports to the District Attorney’s Office for prosecution (this was approximately 300 more than 2021). Of the cases submitted, 41% were prosecuted, 10% rejected, and 49% are still pending review. The department investigated 24 injury traffic collisions, 369 property damage-only collisions, and one fatal traffic collision. The traffic collision numbers were very close to the same as 2021.
The Department takes the continuous training of all of our employees as a top priority. All of the Department’s defensive tactics instructors have attended the Gracie Survival Tactics training in Torrance, California. The training is focused on de-escalation, community trust building, and injury reduction (on officers and suspects). For the first time in years, the Department has an officer who is highly trained in traffic collision investigations. The officer has 240 class hours and is able to reconstruct traffic collision scenes as well as testify as an expert regarding accidents. Per a recent audit from the Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST), the Department was compliant with the training standards set by POST.
Another priority for 2022 was to enhance community partnerships with service providers. Staff continues to partner with the Mendocino County Behavior Health and Recovery Services to have trained mental health professionals on call to respond to crisis calls. The Mobile Crisis Response Team Pilot Program was started in 2021. These trained behavioral health specialists provide support to citizens having a mental health crisis.
In 2022, the Mobile Crisis Response Team responded to 184 calls for service with the Ukiah Police
Department Staff. These individuals provide immediate crisis support to citizens, help keep the situation from escalating, and often are able to transport those experiencing a mental health emergency to the closest medical facility. They also provide outreach and follow up with individuals after the emergency is over. Staff also continues to work with other County service providers to solve community problems.
In January of 2022, the Department signed a contract with Flock Safety for fourteen motion activated cameras that photograph vehicles as they pass by. The photographs of vehicles are maintained for 30 days and then purged. By August of 2022, all fourteen cameras had been installed at strategic locations in the city. The Flock Safety cameras alert public safety officers to any vehicles that are stolen, entered into the nationwide wanted persons or missing persons computer system when the vehicle passes by the cameras. The cameras use “Vehicle Fingerprint” technology which accelerates investigations by allowing public safety to filter their search based on the vehicle’s specific characteristics, such as a bumper sticker. The cameras have been a critical tool for officers to solve countless hit and run traffic collisions, theft investigations, warrant arrests, an arson suspect, an attempted murder suspect, as well as recover numerous stolen vehicles.
The Ukiah Police Department has continued to maintain a long-standing partnership with the Ukiah Unified School District. The Department has staffed a School Resource Officer (SRO) to provide services to the numerous schools in the city. The SRO takes a proactive approach to being engaged with the students and staff to provide the highest level of police services for the local schools. This is in line with our departmental goal of reducing crime and the fear of crime.
In 2022, the Department ordered two Ford Hybrid Interceptor Utility Vehicles. The vehicles are the first-ever and currently the only pursuit-rated hybrid police SUV. The vehicles will provide improvements in fuel economy over traditional patrol units and reduce engine idle time without sacrificing safety, officer protection, and other necessary features required for patrol vehicles.
In 2022, Staff participated in many community events such as the Parade of Lights, Pumpkinfest, Ukiah High Career Fair, Ukiah High Homecoming Parade. Building better relationships with our community and youth, as well as improving customer service, are crucial priorities for Staff.
Hiring and recruiting continued to be a top priority for the Ukiah Police Department. Our Staff continue to evaluate recruiting trends to learn how we can reach and identify quality candidates both within our county and outside. The Department hired five officers and two dispatchers in 2022. One officer did not complete the training program, one officer left the profession, the past Chief was terminated, and Lt. Phillips retired. The number of officers on patrol have increased from 2021 and the Department was able to assign an officer to the Mendocino Major Crimes Task Force. Two dispatchers were hired in 2022 (one did not pass training), however, two retired in 2022. The crime analyst left the profession and remains unfilled.
One of the Department’s accomplishments for 2022 was that we began reporting to the California IncidentBased Reporting System (CIBRS) in February of 2022 per the California Department of Justice Mandate in 2021. CIBRS then reports our police records data to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). The Department received its official certification from the California Department of Justice in September of 2022. This means every month we have less than a 3% error rate. Prior to February of 2022, we reported to the Unified Crime Reporting system (UCR). CIBRS increases the eight formerly tracked crimes by the FBI to over 50 crimes using the NIBRS system. The ability to track this data allows for the overall improved quality of crime data collected by law enforcement agencies and is in alignment with our goal of continued accountability.
The Department replaced all of our body-worn cameras and upgraded to newer and more effective tasers in 2022. The body-worn camera footage is stored in the Axon Cloud Services data storage network. Body-worn cameras are essential in improving accountability, efficiency, reducing liability for the City, and increasing criminal prosecutions.
On January 1st 2022, the Department was mandated by Assembly Bill 953 to “collect perceived demographic
and other detailed data regarding pedestrian and traffic stops”. The bill is known as the “Racial and Identity Profiling Act” (RIPA). The data is based on the officer’s perception of the person they stopped and not data from an actual driver’s license or other government document. Staff made 2,518 reports to RIPA in 2022. This aligns with the Department’s goal of “Continued Accountability”.
The Ukiah Police Department has maintained a gun range at the end of Vichy Springs Road for more than 50 years. In previous years, Staff identified the need to perform what is known as "berm mining" at the property. Berm mining removes the lead bullets that have accumulated on the property.

IN JANUARY 2022, THE UKIAH POLICE DEPARTMENT SIGNED
A CONTRACT WITH FLOCK SAFETY FOR 14 MOTION
ACTIVATED SOLAR POWERED CAMERAS.BY AUGUST OF
2022, THE INSTALLATION OF ALL CAMERAS WAS COMPLETE.
THE CAMERAS WERE STRATEGICALLY PLACED THROUGHOUT
THE CITY OF UKIAH. THE CAMERAS CAPTURE PHOTOS OF
VEHICLES AS THEY PASS BY. THE PHOTOS ARE STORED FOR
30 DAYS. UNLIKE TRADITIONAL LICENSE PLATE READERS
(LPRS), FLOCK SAFETY CAMERAS USE UNIQUE “VEHICLE
FINGERPRINT” TECHNOLOGY WHICH ACCELERATES
INVESTIGATIONS BY ALLOWING PUBLIC SAFETY TO FILTER
THEIR SEARCH BASED ON THE VEHICLE’S SPECIFIC
CHARACTERISTIC, SUCH AS A BUMPER STICKER. FLOCK
SAFETY CAMERAS CAPTURE THE MAKE, MODEL, STATE,
COLOR, AESTHETICS, AND LICENSE PLATE (FULL, PARTIAL, OR MISSING) OF ANY CAR THAT PASSES BY THE CAMERAS.
FLOCK SAFETY CAMERAS ALERT OFFICERS TO ANY VEHICLES
THAT ARE STOLEN, ENTERED INTO THE NATIONWIDE WANTED
PERSONS OR MISSING PERSONS COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE
CAMERAS HAVE ASSISTED OUR OFFICERS IN LOCATING
NUMEROUS STOLEN VEHICLES FROM THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY. THE CAMERAS HAVE BEEN A CRITICAL TOOL FOR
OFFICERS TO SOLVE COUNTLESS HIT AND RUN TRAFFIC
COLLISIONS, THEFT INVESTIGATIONS, WARRANT ARRESTS,
AN ARSON SUSPECT, AS WELL AS AN ATTEMPTED MURDER
SUSPECT. THE FLOCK SAFETY CAMERAS HAVE BEEN PROVEN
TO BE AN EXTRAORDINARY TOOL FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
ONE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF THE SUCCESS OF THE CAMERAS
WAS ON 12/6/22, IN WHICH OFFICERS WERE ALERTED TO A
STOLEN VEHICLE IN THE AIRPORT PARK BLVD. AREA OF
TOWN. OFFICERS LOCATED AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE
DRIVER WAS A 14 YEAR OLD MALE JUVENILE AND THE
PASSENGER WAS A 13 YEAR OLD MALE JUVENILE. THE
JUVENILES WERE RESIDENTS FROM FORT BRAGG, CA.,
WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD JUST BEEN STOLEN.OFFICERS
LOCATED A LOADED GLOCK STYLE “GHOST GUN” IN THE
VEHICLE. “GHOST GUNS” HAVE NO SERIAL NUMBER AND ARE
ILLEGAL TO POSSESS.
IN CONTINUING THE LONG-STANDING PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UKIAH UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE UKIAH POLICE DEPARTMENT ASSIGNED ONE SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICER (SRO) TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO SIX ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, TWO MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND TWO HIGH SCHOOLS.
THE SRO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HANDLING LAW ENFORCEMENT RELATED ISSUES THAT OCCUR ON OR AROUND THE DISTRICT’S CAMPUSES. THE SRO WORKS
CLOSELY WITH SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS TO MAINTAIN A SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR COMMUNITIES’ CHILDREN. THE SRO TAKES A PROACTIVE
APPROACH TO ENGAGING WITH STUDENTS BY MAINTAINING HIGH VISIBILITY,
ATTENDING SCHOOL FUNCTIONS SUCH AS SPORTING EVENTS AND BEING
INVOLVED IN SCHOOL SEARCHES AND OTHER ACTIVITIES TO ENSURE STUDENT SAFETY.
THE SRO IS ALSO INVOLVED IN THE GANG RESISTANCE EDUCATION AND TRAINING (G.R.E.A.T.) PROGRAM.THIS TRAINING IS IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY TO OUR COMMUNITIES’ YOUNGER STUDENTS. IT IS DESIGNED TO BE TAUGHT BY
TRAINED LAW ENFORCEMENT AND TEACHES THE IMPORTANCE OF AVOIDING
PARTICIPATION IN GANGS AND VIOLENCE, AS WELL AS SKILLS TO HANDLE BULLYING. THE SRO ALSO WORKS WITH OTHER LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO MAXIMIZE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROGRAM.
BUILDING BETTER RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN POLICE
AND YOUTH IS A TOP PRIORITY FOR THE UKIAH POLICE
DEPARTMENT. BUILDING GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH
THE YOUTH HELPS YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES
DEVELOP FRIENDLY RELATIONSHIPS AND TRUST WITH
LAW ENFORCEMENT WHICH CAN LAST FOR
GENERATIONS. IN 2022 THE UKIAH POLICE
DEPARTMENT STAFF PARTICIPATED IN MANY
COMMUNITY EVENTS SUCH AS THE PARADE OF LIGHTS,
PUMPKINFEST, UKIAH HIGH CAREER FAIR, UKIAH HIGH
HOMECOMING PARADE, AND MORE.
2022 VIRTUAL NATIONAL NIGHT OUT DRAWING.
FOUR DIFFERENT COMMUNITY FAMILIES WON A
$25-DOLLAR GIFT CARD TO FOOD MAXX AND A
GOODIE BAG FROM UKIAH POLICE.
THESE VEHICLES ARE THE FIRST-EVER
PURSUIT RATED HYBRID POLICE SUV. ONBOARD ELECTRICAL EQUIPTMENT CAN BE
POWERED USING THE LITHIUM-ION
BATTERY, ALLOWING THE GASOLINE
ENGINE TO SHUT OFF AND RUN ONLY
PERIODICALLY TO CHARGE THE BATTERY.
THESE VEHICLES WILL PROVIDE
IMPROVEMENTS IN FUEL ECONOMY IN
OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS REDUCE
IDLE TIME, WITHOUT SACRIFICING
PERFORMANCE OR SAFETY FEATURES.
THE MOBILE CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM PILOT
PROGRAM WAS STARTED IN 2021. THESE
TRAINED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALISTS
PROVIDE SUPPORT TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
PERSONNEL WHEN RESPONDING TO
CITIZENS HAVING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.
IN 2022 THE MOBILE CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM
RESPONDED TO 184 CALLS FOR SERVICE WITH
THE UKIAH POLICE DEPARTMENT STAFF.

CRISIS SUPPORT TO CITIZENS, KEEP THE
SITUATION FROM ESCALATING, AND OFTEN
ARE ABLE TO TRANSPORT THOSE
EXPERIENCING A MENTAL HEALTH
EMERGENCY TO THE CLOSEST MEDICAL
FACILITY. THEY ALSO PROVIDE OUTREACH
AND FOLLOW UP WITH INDIVIDUALS AFTER

WITH THE DEPARTMENTS OF SOCIAL SERVICES,
PUBLIC HEALTH, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH.

ALONG SIDE WITH ARE REDWOOD COMMUNITY

GRACIE SURVIVAL TACTICS (GST) IS A REVOLUTIONARY DEFENSIVE TACTICS
SYSTEM BASED ON GRACIE JIU-JITSU THAT INCORPORATES TIME-TESTED
TECHNIQUES INTO AN EASY-TO-LEARN SYSTEM DESIGNED TO HELP OFFICERS HUMANELY PREVAIL AGAINST LARGER AND STRONGER OPPONENTS.
THE GST SYSTEM HAS RECENTLY BEEN REVIEWED BOTH MEDICALLY AND LEGALLY FOR USE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. FURTHERMORE, ALTHOUGH GST WAS DEVELOPED
FOR ITS TACTICAL EFFECTIVENESS, ITS LEVERAGE-BASED TECHNIQUES ARE LESS LIKELY TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO BOTH THE OFFICER AND ARRESTEE. ALSO, GST’S BENIGN APPEARANCE HAS A GREATER ACCEPTANCE FROM A VIEWING
PUBLIC, WHICH HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY SCRUTINIZING TELEVISED VIDEOS OF POLICE ACTIONS.
THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE PASSED ASSEMBLY BILL #953 IN 2015. KNOWN AS
THE RACIAL AND IDENTITY PROFILING ACT (RIPA), THE BILL REQUIRES ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN THE STATE TO “COLLECT PERCEIVED DEMOGRAPHIC AND OTHER DETAILED DATA REGARDING PEDESTRIAN AND TRAFFIC STOPS”. THE DATA IS NOT TO BE COLLECTED FROM IDENTIFICATION LIKE A DRIVER’S LICENSE OR OTHER GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT. RATHER, THE DATA IS BASED UPON THE OFFICER’S PERCEPTION OF THE PERSON THEY STOPPED. THE RIPA LAW REQUIRED AGENCIES WITH LESS THAN 334 OFFICERS TO BEING REPORTING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ) ON JANUARY 1ST 2022.
WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE VERITONE CONTACT WEB-BASED PLATFORM, UKIAH POLICE DEPARTMENT BEGAN REPORTING ON JANUARY 1ST 2022. WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF MANDATED REPORTING, UKIAH POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFICERS HAD MADE 1,568 REPORTS. VERITONE CONTACT TRACKED THE TIME OFFICERS TOOK TO MAKE THESE REPORTS TO BE 105 HOURS AND 53 MINUTES.
UKIAH POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFICERS ARE CONTINUING TO REPORT THE DATA TO DOJ AS MANDATED.
AXON BODY CAMERAS ARE A RUGGED COMMUNICATIONS BEACON
FRONT-AND-CENTER ON EVERY CALL AT UKIAH POLICE
DEPARTMENT. IN 2022 UPD RECEIVED THE NEWEST VERSION OF
THESE CAMERAS AND EVERY UPD OFFICER WEARS ONE ON HIS OR HER UNIFORM WHILE ON DUTY. FEATURING ENHANCED LOW-LIGHT
PERFORMANCE, REDUCED MOTION BLUR AND AN LTE CONNECTION
THAT ENABLES REAL-TIME FEATURES LIKE LIVE STREAMING, AXON
BODY CAMERAS EMPOWERS OFFICERS WITH MORE SUPPORT IN THE MOMENT. WIRELESS ACTIVATION ENSURES THE CAMERAS WILL
AUTOMATICALLY RECORD WHEN A TASER OR FIREARM IS DEPLOYED, OR WHEN THE SOUND OF A GUNSHOT IS DETECTED.
UKIAH POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS INSTALLED AXON FLEET 2 CAR
CAMERAS IN EACH PATROL VEHICLE. THESE CAMERAS APPEAR AS A
LOW-PROFILE DESIGN THAT PROVIDES CLEAR, STABLE VIDEO FOR EVIDENCE PURPOSES. DIGITAL ZOOM MAKES LICENSE PLATES
READABLE AT UP TO 30 FEET AND INCLUDES INFRARED
ILLUMINATION THAT ENABLES GREATER VISIBILITY AT NIGHT. THEY HAVE A 1000-FOOT RANGE FROM THE VEHICLE AND RECORDS
CONTINUOUSLY UP TO 12 HOURS SO CRITICAL FOOTAGE CAN BE
RETRIEVED SO NO EVIDENCE IS MISSED. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
THESE CAMERAS HELPS WITH ACCOUNTABILITY DUE TO THE
AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION WHEN THE PATROL VEHICLES EMERGENCY LIGHTS ARE ACTIVATED.
THE RECORDED VIDEO FOOTAGE FROM BOTH THE BODY CAMERAS
AND PATROL VEHICLE CAMERAS ARE FULLY ENCRYPTED AND
AUTOMATICALLY STORED ON A CLOUD SERVICE THAT CANNOT BE
DELETED.
