Staff anticipates requesting additional <br />funding from the City Council at that time. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The current security camera system is aging and in need of replacement. The picture quality <br />is very low and it cannot record or store video. Staff recommends upgrading to a modern, high <br />definition system capable of capturing and storing video. <br />On May 5, 2014, the Police Department reviewed a policy for implementing security cameras <br />in the community with the City Council and received direction from the City Council for <br />additional analyses. <br />Analysis <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/15/2014
