HomeMy WebLinkAbout2/20/2002 - STAFF REPORTS (18) Date: February 20, 2002 To: City Council From: C. Lee Weigel, Chief of Police RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that City Council approve contracting for installation of a turnkeywireless video/control system which includes the installation of fifteen closed circuit television cameras(CCTV)s in City-designated locations with Metrovideo Systems of El Segundo,CA in the amount of $227,933.85 and $150,897 for five years of post-warranty maintenance and support, for a combined total of$378,830.85, with the final agreement to be in a form approved by the City Attorney SUMMARY: Police agencies in the United States have experimented with the use of closed circuit television cameras to deter crime,detect crime,and gather evidence for criminal prosecution in their jurisdictional area for more than thirty years. Their efforts have proven to be successful in the reduction of criminal activity and in prosecution of criminals committing crimes ranging from vandalism to homicide. Approval of the installation and operation of the closed circuit camera system would assist law enforcement in crime deterrence, crime detection, apprehension and prosecution. On June 13, 2001 City Council approved the purchase of sixteen CCTV cameras,fiber optic signal transmission and ancillary equipment utilizing grant funds in the amount of $160,143.57. A portion of the grant funding would have been lost if they had not been expended prior to June 30, 2001. During the process of preparing a Request for Proposals for installation of the CCTV equipment the City discovered that it was not feasible to utilize a fiber optic backbone for the CCTV signal transmission. The primary reason for this determination was the discovery that there was insufficient space in the underground conduits in the Downtown area to pull the necessary fiber optic cables. The cost and disruption of installing additional underground conduit led to the preference for utilization of a wireless signal transmission backbone.An RFP was developed for installation of the CCTV equipment including the equipment necessary to construct the wireless backbone. Sincethe fiber optic backbone equipment originally authorized for purchase in June of 2001 was never ordered,$50,000 dedicated for that purchase is available to be redirected toward installation of the wireless signal transmission backbone. The total cost of the installed system, including the CCTV cameras and installation of a wireless backbone, is $338,077.42. Annual maintenance and support beginning at the end of the one year warranty period would cost$157,897 for five years for an average annual cost of$30,179.40 and would be funded annually utilizing forfeited asset funds. No general fund money will be used for the purchase, installation or maintenance of the system. If City Council elects not to pursue this project,a portion of the grant funds would have to be returned to the state. Actually, production of the cameras is on hold pending the outcome of the City Council decision before proceeding with the project. H:\USERS\WPPUBLIC\STAFF REPORTS\DOWNTOWN CAMERAS2.DOC February 8,2002(3:23PM) -1- ��A BACKGROUND The Palm Springs Police Department's primarygoal in requesting approval for installation of a closed circuit camera system is to combat crime by using the CCTV system as a deterrent. The cameras will assist the Palm Springs Police Department in responding to in-progress calls for service, identification and apprehension of suspects, and ultimately prosecution in court. The objective is to capture images on camera using the 360-degree pan, tilt, zoom features in response to calls for service. The dispatch center will have four 27"TV monitors hosting four real-time camera images on three of the monitors and two real-time images on the fourth monitor. Each of four dispatch consoles will have a monitor for remotely transferring an image from the TV monitor to the dispatch console and view a specific area in response to calls for service. The images will not be monitored at all times. The cameras for the most part are event driven. Asa call comes into dispatch,the dispatcher will transfer the image of that location down to his/her console and assist units responding to the scene. Digital images in color will be required for investigative purposes and as evidence for court. The capability will exist to refer back to a location that has been monitored and taped by the cameras and zoom in on the license plate of a fleeing suspect vehicle from a past crime, or obtain a suspect description, color of clothing or even unusual characteristics such as a beard or glasses. This project will enhance police department's ability to fight crime in the City of Palm Springs. On June 13, 2001, City Council approved purchase of sixteen closed circuit cameras plus ancillary equipment from DA Pacific of Palm Desert. The cameras were purchased at that time to preserve eligibility for grant funding which carried an expiration date of June 30, 2001. The use of CCTV camera has become commonplace in public areas everywhere throughout the world such as shopping centers, corporations, ATM's, theme parks, sporting events, casinos, banks, convenience stores, apartment buildings, schools, and manyother public venues. Public video surveillance began in the UK in 1986 in an industrial area outside the English town of King's Lynn. Before the installation of the cameras, there had been 58 crimes reported,mostly vandalism. In the two years following the installation,there were no crimes reported. By 1994, 300 jurisdictions in the country had installed some form of public video surveillance. According to British government reports,in the town of Berwick, burglaries fell by 69 percent. In Northhampton, overall crime decreased by 57 percent. In Glasgow, Scotland, crime decreased by68 percent. In a highly publicized case in mid-February 1996,the UK media broadcast grainy images of a small child being led away by two youths. Two-year-old James Bulger,who had wandered from his mother's side in the shopping center,was later found murdered. Arrests followed shortly after the images were broadcast to the public. In the U.S., the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City might never have been solved and the perpetrator never brought to justice had it not been for the images recorded by a CCTV camera mounted at an ATM. H:\USERS\WPPUBLIC\STAFF REPORTS\DOWNTOWN CAMERAS2.DOC February 8,2002 (3:23PM) -2- 1�A z According to Officer Sigmund at the Baltimore, Maryland Police Department,they have had CCTV surveillance cameras in place since the early 1990's and public sentiment has been positive since the beginning of their program. He knew of no complaints, and they are in the process of expanding their program. They use visible pole-mounted cameras similar to the ones being proposed for the City of Palm Springs. According to Officer Siegmund,there has been a marked decease, in fact almost elimination, of violent crime in the areas where the cameras are installed. He said Baltimore didn't track any statistics regarding crime moving to other areas where there aren't any cameras and admitted it could be hard to track. He said in general, he didn't see any trends in that direction that could be attributed to the cameras or lack of cameras. In Tampa, Florida,district three Corporal LarryTimmersaid their CCTV cameras have been in place in a busy business district known as Ybor City for about five or six years. There are 10 to 12 cameras with five or six monitors. They are monitored during the day by a private security company paid for by their merchants. At night,the cameras are actively monitored by sworn officers. According to Cpl.Timmer,people in that area said they feel safer with the cameras present. This became more evident when two recent homicides were caught on video by their cameras including a recent stabbing where the video was used in court to secure a conviction. He added that cameras can work for or against the officers in the department,too,when there are citizen complaints. In many instances,the cameras helped to exonerate officers. In at least one case, however,the cameras confirmed that the officers had used unnecessary force and they were disciplined for misconduct. According to Cpl. Timmer, "the City is in love with the system." There are plans in place to expand the system to other areas as soon as theycan come up with sufficient funding. Desk Officer Margo Parker was interviewed at the first precinct at the police department in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She said the cameras there have been in place for a number of years, and as far as she knew, there had been no complaints about the system from the public at the beginning or since. She said the only protests she was aware of was when they were proposing the CCTV system. There was a great deal of media coverage and an organized group from out of the area waged an unsuccessful protest, but there were no local protests Officer Parker was aware of. At the Memphis, Tennessee Police Department, Lt. Webb was interviewed. He said their camera system is used in their busy downtown business district. He said the cameras have been in place for a number of years, and they are well received by the officers and the citizens. He knew of no complaints about them since theyhave been installed. Lt. Webb said that after their cameras were installed, a number of businesses installed their own similar high-tech cameras on the outside of their businesses at their own expense, and did their own recording. Memphis PD recently investigated a murder and the crime was caught on video by one of these cameras. He added that a lot of their downtown economy is dependent upon tourist pedestrian traffic, and one of the main problems identified by their merchants is the aggressive panhandlers. He said officers monitoring the cameras will frequently catch the panhandlers in the act of harassing someone on the street,and officers are dispatched to handle it. H:\USERS\WPPUBLIC\STAFF REPORTS\DOWNTOWN CAMERAS2.DOC February 8,2002(3:23PM) -3- J10R3 LEGALISSUES In August 2001, the City Attorney prepared a legal opinion analyzing the proposed installation of video surveillance cameras in downtown, covering three major topics: o Liabilityfor surveillance activities under constitutional and state tort causes of action o Liability for failure to actively monitor surveillance cameras o Disclosure of the surveillance tapes under the Public Information Act The City Attorney concluded that, as it relates to Liabilityfor Surveillance Activities: Video surveillance used to capture day-to-day criminal activity is most likely permissible under applicable constitutional and tort law, provided that the City uses minimally intrusive zoom capabilities to capture public activity and does not engage in excessive fact gathering of individual or group activities without first securing a warrant. As to Liability for Failure to actively Monitor Cameras, the conclusion of the City Attorney was: The City is unlikely to face liability forfailure to actively monitor surveillance cameras at all times, unless express assurances or promises are given to the public or downtown merchants that the cameras will prevent specific criminal activity. Regarding Disclosure of the Video Tapes under the Public Records Act, the City Attorney concluded: Generally, the City is required to disclose the videotapes to the media and members of the public, if requested, unless the tape is essential evidence for an ongoing criminal investigation. The City must retain all video footage fora minimum of one year under current law. PROCESS AND PROPOSAL AWARD: Requests for Proposals for installation of the camera system were solicited from firms that specialize in the installation of wireless CCTV systems or had expressed interest in the project. A mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit was conducted which was attended by 14 firms. Three proposals were received and evaluated by a proposal evaluation committee. The submitting firms were Wave Wireless Systems, Desert Wireless and Metrovideo. Metrovideo was unanimously recommended based on a combination of factors including successful experience and cost. H:\USERS\WPPUBLIC\STAFF REPORTS\DOWNTOWN CAMERAS2.DOC February 8,2002(3:23PM) 4- 1�?A 1 Requests for Proposals for Installation of the camera system were solicited from firms that specialize In the installation of wireless CCTV systems or had expressed interest in the project. A mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit was conducted which was attended by 14 firms. Three proposals were received and evaluated by a proposal evaluation committee. The submitting firms were Wave Wireless Systems, Desert Wfeless and Metrovideo. Metrovideo was unanimously recommended based on a combination of factors including successful experience and cost. Including equipment purchases totaling $160,143.57 authorized by City Council in June of 2001 utilizing state technology grants, the total cost of the CCTV system is $337,287.42. Redirection of $50,000 of previously authorized funds for fiber optic equipment to the wireless equipment included in the proposed contract with Metro Video Systems, leaves a balance of $177,933.85 necessary for installation of the turnkey wireless video/control system. Funds for this purpose are available in currently budgeted forfeited asset accounts the use of which is restricted to law enforcement. Funds for the maintenance portion of the Metro Video Systems contract would be budgeted annually utilizing forfeited asset accounts. With the one•year warranty covering the first year of maintenance, it is not anticipated that any payments will be necessary until Fiscal Year 2003-04. Historically tourism has been, and likely will continue to be, the main source of revenue for the City of Palm Springs. The proposed CCTV system is intended to assist public safety in providing quicker response to the needs of our citizens, merchants, and visitors so that our business district continues to thrive. Since one of the primary functions of public safety is the security and well being of our citizens and visitors, we believe we should strive to utilize available technology to provide the people in our downtown area with at least the level of comfort they are able to enjoy at a convenience store. y / 'oo C.
