DISCUSSION:
The City of Fontana has identified the need for an Emergency Mobile Camera system to enhance public safety, improve situational awareness, and provide real-time monitoring in areas where crime has increased. The Fontana Metrolink Transit Center has experienced significant increase of violent crime in and around the center. These crimes have included two homicides, numerous assaults, and several felonious acts of crimes against persons.
Staff has determined that two strategically placed mobile camera systems will provide Police Department Staff the ability to surveil the complex in real-time and dispatch police personnel when needed. Additionally, these camera systems are highly visible and will act as a deterrent to criminals. These systems also record all activity and will provide investigators with valuable information if a crime does occur.
The equipment can be moved and is attached to a towable trailering system. The contract includes provisions that any vandalism, damage, or equipment failure is covered by Everon Solutions.
