Six (6) Panasonic - ARBITRATOR Mk3-HD In-car video systems - Purchase

History
The Police Department currently has a Panasonic Arbitrator In-Car Camera System installed in each marked patrol vehicle. The purpose of the mobile video recording system is to provide an objective video and audio account of events as they actually occur during a traffic stop, traffic related offense or DUI Investigation. In-car video recordings are used as valuable evidence in DUI and other traffic related cases.

The Panasonic Arbitrator Mk3 HD is a rugged and durable mobile digital video system that can be used with the current Dell in-car computer system. It is specifically engineered for law enforcement and provides a fully-integrated system for video storage, transfer, archiving and retrieval.

The original Panasonic Arbitrator video systems that were purchased in 2007 are out of warranty and are beginning to malfunction more frequently. The Department will install the new systems in six (6) of the new police vehicles purchased in 2017. The older functioning units will be kept in reserve for temporary replacement when current units malfunction and are taken out of service for repair.

CDS Office Technologies, 1271 Hamilton Parkway, Itasca, Illinois 60143, is the vendor used in the past purchases and holds the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Contract for the Panasonic Arbitrator.

The police department will expend $34,230.00 from the DUI Fund, PR-3502, Account # 010-7002-460180, for the purchase of six (6) new Panasonic Arbitrator Mk3-HD Video Systems with software maintenance and extended warranty agreements.
