Question:

What are the details of the revised body worn camera implementation proposal? (Mayor Wilson)

City Council directed staff to prepare a Police-only proposal not to be funded in the FY 2022 Proposed Budget but included in the FY 2022 Proposed Budget as information. The revised phased in program would cost $12.9 million over 6 years with a $2.1 million cost in the first year. The program would involve equipping 325 officers with body worn cameras and having support staff for information technology and legal purposes. The following table represents the revised phased in proposal.

The revised proposal includes only the Alexandria Police Department and incorporates a phased in approach with 110 officers starting in midyear of the first year of the program, followed by an additional 110 officers in the second year, and a total of 325 officers participating in the third year. The phased in approach allows for 12 support positions to be phased in also. The table below details the phasing in of the 12 support positions.
