OTY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNOL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Resolution of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the Director of Finance, or his/her
designee, to issue a Purchase Order to Proforce Law Enforcement in Brea, CA to provide X26E
Tasers in an amount not to exceed $120,500 for FY 2007-08 with one renewal year.
BACKGROUND
On July 16,2007, the Mayor and Common Council approved Resolution #2007-310 approving
and adopting the City of San Bernardino's final budget for Fiscal Year 2007-2008. The
expenditure budget includes $3,000 for rechargeable Taser batteries in Account #001-212-5111
and $90,000 for Tasers. holsters and accessories in Account #001-223-5704 (Measure Z
funding).
On August 6, 2007, the Mayor and Common Council approved a motion to authorizing the
Director of Finance to amend the FY 2007-2008 budget to add both revenue and expenditure
budgets for the nine (9) Development Impact Funds (DIFF). The approved 261-Law
Enforcement Development Impact Fund expenditure budget includes $27,500 for the purchase of
Tasers, holsters and accessories.
The Police Department currently deploys Taser International M26 Tasers, as availability allows.
The department has 30 functioning Tasers, which are deployed across four patrol shifts per day,
seven days a week, with an average deployment of 8-10 Tasers per shift. As each patrol shift
deploys 15-18 officers, this leaves about 50% of officers deployed without a Taser on a regular
basis. The last major purchase of M26 Tasers occurred in FY 2000-2001 and they are
approaching replacement age.
Chief Billdt has established a Taser deployment plan that will issue a Taser to every Patrol
officer and supervisor to reduce the lag time for the arrival of a Taser to a scene where it is
needed. Law enforcement agencies deploying Tasers in a similar fashion .have realized
reductions in civil liability claims, injuries to officers, injuries to suspects, workers comp claims
and costs associated with injuries to suspects by using impact weapons or other law enforcement
tools.
Currently only two companies, Stinger Stun Systems and Taser International, manufacture law
enforcement grade Electronic Control Devices that meet accepted police industry standards. The
independent research firm of Critical Research and Training in Less Lethal Systems conducted a
study on the effectiveness of the Stinger S-200 and the Taser X26E. The research was conducted
using protocols set by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The study concluded
that the effectiveness of the X26E was far superior to the Stinger S-200. Additionally, the
Riverside County Sheriffs Department and California Highway Patrol recently tested both
Stinger and Taser Electronic Control Devices and have opted to purchase Taser International
e
e
e
~;1
Products. Taser International has a solid reputation in the law enforcement industry for
producing an effective weapon. Currently, only Taser International Tasers are utilized by
California Law Enforcement agencies.
As the Police Department currently utilizes the Taser International M26 Taser, the familiarity
with this Taser will accelerate the transition to the X26E Taser and promote confidence among
officers. The core differences between M26 and X26E Tasers are improved weapon capability,
improved battery life, reduction in battery cost and a streamlined product for simplicity in
carrying the weapon. Additionally, the X26E allows information associated with the usage from
each Taser to be downloaded to provide greater accountability.
In preparation of this purchase, the Police Department researched Taser product information,
developed specifications, reviewed test studies and inspected and evaluated all law enforcement
grade Tasers currently on the market. The only Taser that meets or exceeds department
specifications is the X26E Taser manufactured by Taser International. Proforce Law
Enforcement in Brea, CA has exclusive distribution rights for Taser International products in the
10 western states. The Police Department is requesting an exemption from the formal bid process
pursuant to Section 3.04.010(b)(3) of the San Bernardino Municipal Code.
The FY 2007-2008 budget includes $120,500 for the purchase of 120 Tasers and equipment.
The department anticipates the need for an additional 120 Tasers and equipment by the end of
FY 2008-09. An inventory of 240 Tasers would allow for the issuance of one Taser for each
Patrol, MET and traffic officer as well as the field sergeants assigned to those units. In FY 2008-
09 the department will earmark $120,500 from the Measure Z and Development Impact Fee
budgets for the purchase of the additional Tasers and equipment to complete this purchase.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Police Department will purchase 240 Tasers, accessories and training supplies over two
fiscal years. The cost breakdown each fiscal year is as follows.
