Mayor Donchess
And Ms. Kleiner is here on this | believe. Everybody is present so we can do a voice vote.

Kimberly Kleiner, Director of Administrative Services

Good evening. So what you will find that this is an annual contract copier replacement. So we have 5
Departments that have copiers that have reached their useful life; Community Development, DPW,
Engineering, Community Development again the planning area, Risk Management and the Aldermanic Office.
So regularly what happens is when they have reached their useful life and now parts and service are costing
us more and the contract has come to an end, we look at replacing these. This is 5-year contract so it will
require going to the Full Board and the cost is coming out of Information Technology where all of our copier
leases are housed. The Risk Management machine is of particular that is not working more than it is working
and the others are requiring regular maintenance.

Mayor Donchess
Alright. Any questions or comments? (There were none).

ON THE QUESTION

Mayor Donchess

We've heard the motion. Now we have Mr. Mansfield here to address this on this one.

Bill Mansfield, Radio Systems Manager

These maintenances contracts that are before you this evening are for the radio communication system that is
used by all Police, Fire, DPW, basically any City entity within the City of Nashua. The first agreement is for the
infrastructure of the radio system. Every year years we receive an upgrade to the infrastructure. It includes
hardware and software, anything that needs to be replaced over a two-year span. The next one is a remote
security upgrade services and that is basically Motorola does security updates. There’s one that happens
every two weeks, there’s another one that happens every quarter. And those security updates are basically to
protect the infrastructure from any viruses or anybody trying to intrude into the system itself. The astro-
technical support agreement is an agreement that is for trouble shooting. So if we have some alarms that
come in over the system, we call Motorola and we basically go back forth and they can dial into the system
and make recommendations as to what we should be doing to repair the issue and resolve the issue.

And then the last one is preventative maintenance on an annual basis. Motorola comes out, they have two
service techs, they go to all the facilities and they ensure that all of the hardware out at the off-site locations
such as the radio backbone is operating and functioning properly as well as the microwave system at the sites.

Mayor Donchess

Alright. Now any questions or comments? Alderwoman Lu.
Alderwoman Lu

No | don't.

Kevin Rourke, Deputy Police Chief

Sure. First thing | just have some background information and then I'll go through the PowerPoint. Kevin
Rourke, Deputy Chief, Nashua Police. Last June spoke to the Mayor and a few Aldermen about getting body
cameras for the Police Department. For the past year the Mayor and | have worked through this project. We
thank you for your support and finding a solution to the problem because we know in the last year, many of
these body worn cameras companies, the price has risen dramatically.

Mayor Donchess

Now Deputy let me just interrupt for a second. The record should show that Alderwoman Kelly has arrived. OK.

Deputy Rourke

So when we started to deep dive this project, we looked into three separate companies for a 5-year contract
because that’s what most of these companies offer. When we started doing that and deep diving the project
we realized that Bodyworn by Utility has the best option. It has a lot more pros than the other companies. It is
also one of the only companies that provides a security blanket for the camera. Many of these companies —
this is the only company where the camera is basically sewn into the shirt so it can’t fall off and get knocked
off. What they do is they sew a pocket inside your shirt which unbuttons the shirt and the camera lays inside
that pocket. They cut a hole in the shirt and the camera is through the hole.

Every other company is the camera is attached to the uniform, I’m sure many of you have seen it. What
happens in that is a lot of times if you have seen the media recently, some of these cameras are knocked off if
you’re in a struggle with someone, if you’re in a fight and you're rolling on the ground, these cameras get
knocked off. Where you are going to spend all this money and the camera drops off it is kind of useless. So
that was one of the major point that we started to look towards Bodyworn Utility. So as we started to negotiate
with Bodyworn Utility we also noticed that they were the cheapest company of the three. Just other pros by
Bodyworn Utility when we started looking into this, there’s multiple activation features. You can activate the
camera, some of these other cameras are pushbutton so if an officers gets out of the vehicle and encounters a
situation, he’s got to remember every single time to hit the button to record.

This one has many features to it where it activates by a holster draw. For example, if you are out in the street
and an incident happens and you have got to draw your weapon, there’s a sensor on your holster that will
immediately activate the camera and it will actually go back 2 minutes; so you will have that 2 minutes prior to
pulling out your duty weapon. Lights and sirens in the vehicles, these are all pre-set up, lights and siren. If you
put your lights and sirens on the cameras are going to come on. Another features is officer down, safety issue.
If the officer is down for a certain amount of time, again this is pre-set, whatever the policy says and whatever
we decide with the company, if the officer is down for 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 7 seconds, that camera will
automatically turn on. It was also alert every other officer that is working, it will alert dispatch and it will give his
GPS -— his coordinates — to the exact location where he is. That was another plus.

Cruiser door — when the officer opens the cruiser door there’s a sensor in the door; it immediately turns on his
camera. So an officer gets in foot pursuit, it immediately activates the camera and also sends a GPS
coordinate back to dispatch and other surrounding officers that are working that evening or that day. Another
activation feature is a watch bracelet type item where you can either put it on — it looks like a watch or you can
put it on your belt, whatever the officer's preference is, it also activates and shuts the camera off. So many
good features with that. Other pros — full coverage support, 24/7, 365 days, you call them up there’s someone
there to answer the phone and help you. Full warranty — if anything is broken they will replace it for free.
These other cameras — there’s no docking station so it is a basically a Motorola G-7 Cell Phone that is the
camera. So you can plug it in, if the battery is getting low, if you worked the double shift, you are able to plug it
right into the cruiser.

Also at the end of your shift, you take it home, it’s just a charger. So there’s no docking stations which is a
problem before for 179 cameras we need multiple docking stations in the Department and there might not just

be room for all that. The ability to live stream, if we were sitting at the station and the 4" of July is going on
and we want to live stream to see how the crowd was or something going on or an incident, a major incident
going on, you can sit right at your desk and live stream and see what is going on. This was very useful up in
Manchester during the last couple of incidents they had up there with the Command Post was able to live
stream the street and what was going on.

GPS System in the camera and in the cruisers, so if dispatch gets a call on Main Street, they are going to be
able to see who is close by and they can dispatch those units right to the call. They are also able to locate
officers. If you are out at an incident and you didn’t call in where you were, they are able to locate exactly
where you are and send other officers. This was kind of a feature that we heard during our presentation a
couple of years ago, there was an officer shot up in Manchester and he was shot, if you remember Officer
Doherty from Manchester years ago, they could not find him, he had been shot multiple times and was
basically laying on a sidewalk behind a car. The officers were driving a couple times where they could not
locate him. It was a citizen who pointed to the police. They knew where he was in the area, but they didn’t
know exactly where he was and that officer down feature and the GPS location that is in there is a very
valuable tool.

The camera has a 14 to 16 hour battery life, again you can charge it at any point. It can be plugged into the car
charger or at home at the end of your shift like | said. The cons we found on it is it’s called a Rocket IOT, it has
to be placed in the vehicle, that’s where the data is stored until you drive back to the Police Department where
it will upload. It’s a cloud based system, it is stored in the car so that is just another thing we are putting in the
car and uniform alteration which we talked to Manchester who has the same cameras. The problem with them
is so many officers, you basically have to send your shirt to the company to put in that pocket. So that takes
some time, you know, we have 179 officers and they will do 5 shirts per officer. So sending them down there
we think this is going to be good timing if this gets through. We switch into fall uniforms, long sleeve shirts in
the fall, we are hoping once it goes through we can get those uniforms down there so we can activate these
cameras in the fall. So that would be our plan.

The good thing about this camera is that several local departments that have gone to body worn by Utility,
Manchester being the first one, Hudson just went on-line they got the same camera and Hollis Police
Department. So what | will say about having other departments in the area with the same camera, it has a
feature of geofencing so if we were to go to any of these agencies for mutual aid, we can go right into their
system and they will be able to tell where our officers are and it sets up like a geofence and dispatch can see
all the officers involved at this incident. So during negotiations with Bodyworn by Utility it was a 5-year
contract. As time went on and in speaking with the Mayor as we are coming to the end here, we are able to
negotiate a 6" year for free and the Mayor also asked if we could the first year, if we could keep it at
$350,000.00, the company was very responsive to that, they kept their word at $350,000.00 the first year and
they actually added a sixth year on. So even though the price went up over the beginning from June 20" until
now, the price almost evened out because of getting that 6'" year free. And in talking to them we ended up
adding vehicles to have the whole system in place so we added 31 vehicles.

What it also does is we added interview rooms and we added the booking area. So we work on a computer
aided dispatch system. So when an officer is dispatched to a call he is given a report number, the booking area
and the interview rooms are all going to be integrated together. So when they interview someone or someone
comes in through booking it is already sent in the sign to the call from the original call from the officer. So it is
actually a pretty neat system and pretty easy to use. We had a guy from Indianapolis Police Department come
up and give us a demo to us and they were over 1,000 officers in that department. They hired 3 people just to
handle this project and to be 3 project manager. And as time went on they realized the system is easy to use,
they actually let two of the guys go and one guy is running it. So it sounds like a pretty easy system to use.

So if you want to just play that first video, it kind of gives kind of a little demonstration of how this works.

“Bodyworn provides a fully integrated officer and vehicle ecosystem for video capture, upload, redaction and
sharing. It leverages intelligent technology to ensure the officer is never asked to do something technology
can do for them. We start with the Bodyworn camera which is securely mounted in the uniform. As the officer
gets into their patrol car, Bodyworn automatically associates with the Rocket IOT in the trunk. Now the officer
and vehicle cameras including triggers are synchronized based on policy. During a traffic stop, a series of
triggers automate the Rocket IOT and Bodyworn to begin recording an offloading video. The digital media
evidence automatically offloads and is temporarily stored in the Rocket IOT. When the officer returns to any
department or station, video is quickly offloaded to the cloud through the systems Smart Way point. Individual
officers or groups of officers in the field can receive real time photo alerts on their Bodyworn or in-car video
systems.

During a foot pursuit Bodyworn sensors automatically trigger the device to begin recording. As an officer
unholsters their firearm, Bodyworn will activate recording while sending real-time alerts to dispatch.
Additionally it will capture 2 minutes of pre event recording to ensure all critical evidence is captured. In a high
priority event, the digital media evidence can off load to the car automatically using the cellular input. Because
seconds mean lives, intelligence matters. This includes intelligence that allows the system to integrate to the
department's computer aided dispatch system. When a 911 call is placed, an officer is assigned. Bodyworn
and Rocket IOT vehicle video will automatically activate when the officer arrives on scene, tagging it with all
relevant information for that call. Bodyworn has an added layer of officer safety protection.

In the event that an officer goes prone, the ecosystem automatically senses and sends alerts to officers within
proximity and dispatch enabling them to respond quickly. Dispatch and other assigned parties are able to view
a live streaming feed of officer's Bodyworn camera. The system’s mutual aid capability allows multiple
agencies to share BOLO alerts for emergencies and other life safety situations thereby creating entire
networks of smart cities for emergency response through (inaudible). Meanwhile AvailWeb allows
departments to view and manage all digital media evidence. With a rich interactive media playback, reporting
capabilities to support day-to-day operations and case management for operational efficiency. In order to
respond properly to video release requests, we have built in smart redaction to quickly automate the redaction
process. In a few short moments, digital evidence cases can be shared to the District Attorney and local news
outlets. A dedicated lawyer’s portal allows the DA to access media from all agencies within their district. A
temporary link can be provided to a news station for limited access.

Bodyworn — promoting officer safety while building trust between law enforcement and the community.”

Mayor Donchess

So do you have any idea how departments nationwide have body worn? Oh is this part of it?

Deputy Rourke

| do not know. The company is out of Georgia, | know a lot of bigger agencies have Bodyworn by Utility. | think
it is an up and coming company but | do not know off the top of my head how many other companies.

Mayor Donchess

So questions or comments from the Committee? Alderman Laws.
Alderman Laws

I’ve got a couple if you don’t mind. First of do the State Police use this?

Deputy Rourke
No.

Board of Aldermen — 12/12/17 Page 8

crisis type of situation, they can rely on their particular coach to advise them and to get them back on track.
Again, making them productive members of the society.

So all this was presented, and it’s definitely fulfilling a need in the city. It’s part of the puzzle again. I’m offering
my full support on this based on the information of the two meetings | attended. | feel quite confident that this is
definitely needed in the city.

Alderman Lopez

I’ve been participating in the Mayor’s Opioid Task Force, the Safe Stations program, and the Continuum of
Care, and there isn’t really a comparable program to this. The closest analogy might be H.E.A.R.T.S. Peer
Support, but there is not a daytime walk-in center offering recovery support. There are periodic AA meetings
and NA meetings throughout the city which are an hour long. You go to those meetings, you come out; you do
build connections, you do get a sponsor. But there are other treatment models, and AA and NA do not work for
everybody. Revive offers an array of different models and programs, and ongoing supports. They’re cultivating
new communities of support. Recently, they just had a forum and an organizational meeting for what to do for
families that are trying to address — like what do you do when your son is an addict, what kind of support is
available? And they’re trying to do things like cultivating support groups for the different populations that are
most specifically affected.

The need for beds is definitely one of the greatest elements, but it’s also pretty well understood in the recovery
community that if you just keep putting people into recovery centers and then you don’t offer a transition out
and help them build their own independence after they’ve gone through the process of detox and adopting
recovery as a strategy, you're losing your investment. We can send people in and out all we want, and they
can bill insurance all they want, but if we’re not helping them rebuild their lives, gain employment, find
sustainable housing, even rebuild some of the connections with their families that they've broken that will then
later on help them build resistance to the risk of relapse, then we're losing the effort that we put in, in terms of
finance, and we’re really losing the effort that they putin, in terms of willpower. All the hours of counseling, all
the hours working in the detox centers, it kind of does rely on this. Furthermore, preventing people from
needing the long-term recovery programs by having them access recovery support programs, like Revive,
before they get to the point where they need to spend 90 days or more in a detox center is huge. Because we
are not going to build the capacity for beds that we need anytime in the near future. We are going to pull out
every stop, everybody who provides these services, like Keystone, like Bedford, they’re going to do their best.
But it’s a huge investment to build facilities with more beds and more trained professionals, more clinically-
qualified individuals; whereas, the recovery coach model deals with the group at the base level much more
efficiently and much more effectively.

There really isn’t a comparable program to this. In the Mayor’s Opioid Task Force, most of the people who
would be bidding on this are competing with this in theory, choosing to devise or create a program that’s
comparable to Revive, have been talking about it for over the last two years and have not been able to do it.
It’s a specific need that hasn’t been filled, and Revive has evolved specifically to fill that need. To my
knowledge, they’re not for profit; they’re less than a year old. In fact, | think they had their ribbon cutting maybe
three months ago. So I’m not really surprised that they haven’t qualified for Medicaid or Medicare assistance,
because those are not simple processes. It takes a lot of application time and a lot of vetting back and forth
before you can qualify for that funding support. | think what we’re looking at here is an opportunity for the city
to identify an obvious gap that the Safe Stations program, the Opioid Task Force, and even the Continuum
have all voiced; that’s there’s no real daytime recovery program. And to run one effectively, you need a peer
recovery coach. So I’m definitely in favor of this. | see it as a very important missing piece of the puzzle. While
it’s true we could tick this off until the next Board takes it on or until we vet it more thoroughly, and | don’t
necessarily know the strengths of weaknesses of that because | didn’t attend the training on sole source
funding, but | think getting them up and running and getting them online immediately is a priority. People are
looking for recovery right now; they’re risking their relapse right now. It’s holiday season; it’s a particularly
difficult time for people trying to find sobriety. And | think if we have a resource sitting on the table that we
could potentially deploy, we have to do it.

Alderman Laws

They don’t? | just thought they'd be a wonderful happy coincidence if they did because then you know — well
integrated. | wish | could read my own handwriting. Do officers have the ability to manually turn it off?

Deputy Rourke

Yes they do. They do. On the bracelet they can turn it off.
Alderman Laws

Does it record the previous two minutes up to that?

Deputy Rourke

If was still on it is recording yes. But if they shut it off, it is off. And again, a lot of these incidents will be
spelled out in the policy of when they have to wear the camera and when they are not, if they are out talking to
or having a coffee or something like that obviously. But if they are going to calls in certain instances it is going
to be on.

Alderman Laws

Certainly and | imagine in the heat of the moment they are not really thinking about shutting off the camera. So
| would support this absolutely, | think body cameras are a great idea I’ve seen how good they have done, the
gocd that they have done nationwide. And | imagine if the price has gone up significantly since June if we
don’t act on this now it is just going to keep going higher. So | think we should support this.

Deputy Rourke
Just to give you an idea of last June | got a quote it was just for the body worn cameras not for the vehicles or

the interview room or booking, just for the body worn cameras 179 cameras was $1.1 and this June it was $1.5
so you can see the inflation.

Mayor Donchess

Alderman O’Brien.
Alderman O’Brien

Thank you Mr. Mayor. Chief my question is, | know this is going to be worn underneath the blouse of the shirt,
but it is also going to be on the exterior of the bullet proof vest correct. In other words no impact of receiving
fire could fragmate the camera close to the body that would injure the officer, correct

Deputy Rourke

So it would be the vest, well it depends because we have officers that wear the auto carrier vest. So if it were
me, | would wear the vest under the shirt so the camera would be between the vest and my shirt. So if was hit,
that’s a good question it would probably be damaged if not destroyed. But the other carrier vest too it will be
on the inside material.

Alderman O’Brien
Follow up Mr. Mayor. My point is that | don’t care so much about the camera | care about the officer and would

hate to have the device compromise the vest. And if | may follow up. One more question. This is from my
history being on the Fire Department, love GPS but GPS is linear, level field. If an officer was operating in a

high rise structure or a multi-level building, have we conquered the GPS to read height to know what floor the
officer may be operating on? Or we haven't got to the GPS point.

Deputy Rourke
| haven’t seen that yet.
Alderman O’Brien

Yeah it is a technology | wish they would conquer because as you can appreciate firefighters go to multi floors,
police officers go to multi floors. It would be enhanced for the safety if we could.

Deputy Rourke

Sure, that’s a great question.

Alderman O’Brien

... track that. OK. Thank you Mr. Mayor.

Mayor Donchess

Alderwoman Kelly.

Alderwoman Kelly

Thank you. | am getting used to the Chamber is that better? | have a couple of questions. So you were talking
about previous police department that had a number of employees actually handling this system. Are we
planning on having an employee that would handle this as well?

Deputy Rourke

Not right now. We are going to have one of our officers handle it for the first year and see how that goes.

Alderwoman Kelly

OK if | could follow up? The contract, does it include maintenance, what happens if a camera goes down?

Deputy Rourke

They will replace it for free, full warranty.
Alderwoman Kelly
How quickly?

Deputy Rourke

| think what they do is they give you a few extra ones so you always have some in stock. They are pretty easy
to deal with so | would assume they replace it immediately.

Alderwoman Kelly

OK a few more questions? And this might be in the paperwork and | apologize | was a little bit late. But the
phased 6 year, is that a phased roll out like only so many people will get it or is ita phased payment approach?

Like everybody will get it but we are going to pay for it over 6 years?

Deputy Rourke

Yes everybody will get it.

Alderwoman Kelly

| watch a lot of crime and every time you listen they are always like and guess what they did, they recorded
over it or they threw the tape out. How long will the video be stored on the cloud?

Deputy Rourke

It's however we want it on the cloud.

Alderwoman Kelly

So it doesn’t automatically delete?

Deputy Rourke
No.

Alderwoman Kelly

And do you know how much storage is there, | mean you’ve got a lot of officers. Sorry | am asking a lot of
questions.

Deputy Rourke

No it’s a good question, | just don’t know the answer to that but | know it is stored for a significant amount of
time, however long — we set the settings.

Alderwoman Kelly

OK I'd be interested to know that at some point. Thank you.

Deputy Rourke

Yes.

Mayor Donchess

Alderwoman Lu?

Alderwoman Lu

Thank you. Is there room in the trunks for this?

Deputy Rourke

Alderwoman Lu

OK how many — 179 — how many officers are on the beat you know? Does that cover everyone?

Deputy Rourke

It covers everyone from the Chief on down, we will all wear them.

Alderwoman Lu

Great. Alright and every vehicle as well?

Deputy Rourke

Yes. We even added the prisoner transport van and the 2 SWAT vehicles.

Alderwoman Lu

OK and you know | didn’t catch something, | know it uploads to the cloud at headquarters but then it said it can
also do it at another time, upload to the cloud.

Deputy Rourke

It uploads to the cloud once we drive into the station but it is stored in the Rocket IOT.
Alderwoman Lu

It’s stored in the trunk. Yes, OK.

Deputy Rourke

Rocket IOT is also a hot spot so there’s good signal.

Alderwoman Lu

OK alright. And does an individual have the ability to erase the tape?
Deputy Rourke

No.

Alderwoman Lu

OK. Great. Just one other thing. Have we considered what we will be paying to insure this, just seems like
another expense. | mean | think it is a great thing but has anyone done that calculation. Alright, | guess not.

Deputy Rourke
| don’t think so, no.
Alderwoman Lu

Looking at the what’s it called — the communication from the Police Department. Sorry can’t find it. It is 72
months of use and maintenance and training?
