K9 OFFICER TASER PURCHASE
INTRODUCTION
In the 2008 budget, Council authorized the replacement of two (2) outdated (M26)
tasers and two (2) broken tasers, which would make a total of fourteen (14) available for
patrol use. I am requesting the purchase of an additional taser to be assigned to the K9
officer. The funding source would come from funds donated by the Cottage Grove
Crime Board.
DISCUSSION
Council has already accepted donations from the Cottage Grove Crime Board to be
used in support of the K9 program. The K9 officer is required to be readily available
(24/7) to respond from home in the case of a callout. The goal of the department is to
have fifteen (15) tasers readily available to equip two full crews, to allow for a smooth
transition between shift changes, to allow for School Resource Officers, Investigators
and CSOs the opportunity to use them in the performance of their duties. Also at any
given time, tasers can be down and sent out for repairs.
The assignment of a taser to K9 would alleviate shortages of available tasers for patrol
uses.
Cost —
1- X26 taser 5 814.95
1- 4 year warranty � 179.95
Tax 64.56
$1,059.56
RECOMMENDATION
If Council concurs, authorize the purchase of an additional taser for $1,059.56 to be
assigned to the K9 Officer.
