RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Police Department recommends that the Port Arthur City Council approve the purchase ora
microwave video camera system to be used by the Criminal Investigation Division, specifically for
vice and narcotic undercover operations fi.om NS Microwave in the amount of $8,022.00
BACKGROUND:
The Vice/Narcotics section of the Criminal Investigation Division routinely engages in surreptitious
activities. In order that drug related activities and covert criminal operations be transacted, the police
department requires the microwave video camera to secretly record visual and audio activity by
suspects to a crime.
BUDGET/FISCAL EFFECT:
A low bid was received fi.om NS Microwave- East. This bid was in the amount-of eight thousand
twenty two dollars ($8,022.00). This amount will be extracted fi.om a police special fund, account
number 125-1118-521.92-00
Other bids were as follows:
Audio Intelligence Devices, Inc.- ........ $10,954.21

STAFF/EMPLOYEE EFFECT:
The purchase approval of the microwave video camera will enhance the operations of the Criminal
Investigation Division. The purchase approval would allow Criminal Investigations to more
effectively conduct covert operations with state of the art equipment. This equipment would help
enhance the eradication of illegal drugs in the community and extend the operational capabilities of
Criminal Investigations Division of the Police Department.
SUMMARY:
