This project will expand coverage of critical areas with new cameras and <br />implement an artificial intelligence server for use with our current camera system. This Al server will <br />enable the cameras to visually detect the presence of firearms, if they are observed on camera view. If <br />they are observed, an alert will be sent directly to the Police Communications Center Hiperwall. This will <br />allow our Communications Officers to get a visual on the event and dispatch police officers immediately. <br />Additionally the Al server has the ability to recognize faces. This will allow the police department to <br />"flag" certain people who may no longer have the privilege of visiting the aforementioned sites, and <br />their mere presence may be a crime. <br />Additionally, the Police Department is seeking to ratify the purchase of a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon from <br />Kendall Lakes Automotive for $46,080.00. The Police Department is also seeking approval to use <br />approximately $50,000.00 of DOJ funds to upgrade the Jeep Gladiator to be able to traverse flood <br />waters in various areas of the city. <br />Item Number: 10.A <br />44 <br />
