Analysis
The marshals are currently utilizing the first generation Taser model X26 which is outdated and very difficult to find cartridges. With the expansion of the marshals division the current inventory does not allow for each marshal to have a Taser. The model 7, is the most recent release by Axon and this is the model the Police Department will be transitioning to next year. This is a one time cost and will come with a 5-year warranty and new cartridges each of the 5 years.
Financial Consideration
Funding for the purchase of the Tasers and related equipment from Axon Inc. in the amount of $23,514.59, is available by approving an ordinance transferring and appropriating from the unobligated fund balance in the Capitol Reserve Fund (402590) to WO #02110903 (MC Tasers and related equipment). The purchase is being made off of BuyBoard 603-20 and has been reviewed and approved by Purchasing.
