IClose Window City of Round Rock — Round Rock Police Department BJA FY 10 Congressionally Selected Application No. 2010 -H7315 -TX -D1 PROGRAM NARRATIVE PROJECT ABSTRACT. This project provides the Police Department with partial funding for a command vehicle, as well as funding for electronic control devices, and personal protective gear to provide police officer with additional tools to manage large-scale incidents, response to resistance or aggression, and protect officers responding to incidents in hazardous environments. PROBLEM STATEMENT. The City of Round Rock's Police Department has a critical need for equipment used by officers to fight and prevent crime, including gang and drug-related activities, routine criminal investigations, security surveillance, and large-scale emergency response. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, PERFORMANCE MEASURES. The project will: 1. Provide $116,341 toward the purchase of a Public Safety Command Vehicle. The command vehicle will enhance and improve on-site incident management capabilities and support the five Regional Type -2 SWAT Teams, 35 LE Strike Teams, Type -3 Incident Management Teams (IMT) and CBRNE1 Response Teams in Texas. The vehicle will provide incident command with advanced capabilities and situational awareness. It will respond to all -hazards incidents in the Urban Area and beyond as needed, and will support pre -planned events, regional training, and exercises. The command vehicle will provide redundant, interoperable communications capabilities, including voice, data, wireless -mesh video and satellite capabilities. This vehicle can be rapidly deployed to respond to and manage emergency incidents within the Urban Area, and through mutual aid agreement, will reach areas within and outside the State of Texas. The 38 -foot vehicle has the capacity to fully support 17 seated positions in a climate - controlled environment. The total cost of this vehicle will be $420,000 — of which $304,000 is being funded by a grant through the federal Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) program. The balance of the funds necessary for the vehicle's technology elements — wireless and satellite connectivity and other technology — to complete this project would be funded by this Congressionally Selected Award. Cost: $116,341. 2. Fund the initial deployment of TASER electronic control devices to 85 field officers. This deployment would provide field officers with another tool for less -lethal response to resistance or aggression. Every field officer and sergeant in the Department will receive an electronic control, cartridges, and holsters. Cost: $86,314 1 Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high -yield explosives 3. Fund protective gear for field officers responding in hazardous environments. Personal protective gear includes air -purifying respirators (APR), CBRN suits, and related footwear. Cost: $97,345. Thus, this project would provide the Police Department with additional tools to manage large- scale incidents, response to resistance or aggression, and protect officers responding to incidents in hazardous environments. The City of Round Rock understands that it must provide data measuring the results of this project. To that end, the Police Department proposes the follow set of performance measures associated with this project: Project Element Performance Measure Data Provided by the Grantee Command Vehicle Acquire and accept vehicle • Confirmation documentation that vehicle has been acquired Equipment and staff training • Documentation that training has occurred Deployment to a pre- planned exercise • After -action report documenting the use of the vehicle in that exercise Placement in service • Number of command vehicle deployments during initial year of service Electronic Control Devices Acquisition of supplies • Documentation that supplies were purchased Officer training • Number of officers who receive training in the use of these devices Placement in service • • Number of deployments during first year of service Copy of annual review of Response to Resistance or Aggression incidents Personal Protective Gear Acquisition of supplies • Number of officers to whom supplies were assigned Officer training • Number and documentation of officers being trained in the proper use of protective gear Deployment in a pre- planned exercise • Number of officers participating in an exercise designed to test the use of protective gear in a tactical incident. PROJECT DESIGN. The City will purchase the equipment and supplies using normal procurement rules that adhere to state and federal requirements. Once acquired, the Police Department will provide the necessary training and place the equipment and supplies into service. As the command vehicle will be a regional asset within the State of Texas, a set of milestones already is established for that element of the project — the major components of which are outlined above. Training for electronic control devices and personal protective gear will be provided by the Police Department. Pre -planned deployments will be built into the Department's normal training regime in-house and in coordination with regional exercises. The placement in service and deployment of electronic control devices will be captured as part of the Department's existing system to report and monitor police response to resistance or aggression. Acquisition of the equipment and supplies is anticipated to be completed during the first year of the project. By the end of the project's second year, all training and deployment will have been conducted. MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY. The Police Department's Logistics and Research Unit will be responsible for the acquisition of the equipment and supplies outlined in this project. This unit of the Department employs two logistics officers supervised by an administrative manager. Training will be administered through the Department's Training and Recruiting Detail, which is composed of three trainers and a sergeant supervisor. Training and Recruiting personnel also will participate in the design and administration of preplanned exercises in coordination with the City's emergency management function — which is comprised of a civilian emergency management coordinator and a Police Lieutenant.

Procurement will be accomplished using the City of Round Rock's normal procurement method, which is consistent with Texas and federal law. Technology -related command vehicle equipment What is being purchased here essentially is the connectivity and networking piece of the command vehicle. The major elements being purchased are: Satellite Antenna (data and voice) $36,530.45 Firewall $3281.35 Network Router and Switches $13,866.40 Wireless Accept Point $891.24 IP Phones (wired and wireless) $7,580.00 Uninterruptible Power Supply $2,027.46 Other Technology Equipment $14,549.76 Satellite Service (data and voice) $9,172.00 Installation $28,000.00 Shipping $4,442.12 TOTAL $116,340.79 Installation of this equipment will allow the command platform to interact with other tactical and command elements, and will allow electronic information to be brought directly into the tactical command. The network elements and connectivity features do not lend themselves well to being leased. Fit -Test Instrument for Air Purifying Respirators This equipment is necessary to ensure that the APRs purchased elsewhere in this project fit properly. Without ensuring a proper fit of these masks, officers may experience APR failure during deployment in a hazardous environment. Electronic Control Devices and Related Equipment The unit cost is based on Texas state -contract -pricing for Taser Model X26E with an extended life battery, holster, and 25 -foot cartridge. This equipment would provide police officers another less -lethal tool with which they may respond to resistance or aggression incidents. CBRN equipment for SWAT officers Budget would provide for APR mask system, tactical headset system and CBRN protective over- garments (coat, trousers, gloves, over -boots) for 25 members of the Department's SWAT team. Unit cost is determined by taking the total cost for these items (some of which are different sizes) and backing out an overall unit cost per SWAT officer. Air Purifying Respirators Project would provide masks, filters, carrier for each of 85 officers, as well as a filter mount plug tool for every five officers. The unit cost was determined by taking the total cost and calculating an average per -officer cost.

Close Window City of Round Rock — Round Rock Police Department BJA FY 10 Congressionally Selected Application No. 2010 -H7315 -TX -D1 PROGRAM NARRATIVE PROJECT ABSTRACT. This project provides the Police Department with partial funding for a command vehicle, as well as funding for electronic control devices, and personal protective gear to provide police officer with additional tools to manage large-scale incidents, response to resistance or aggression, and protect officers responding to incidents in hazardous environments. PROBLEM STATEMENT. The City of Round Rock's Police Department has a critical need for equipment used by officers to fight and prevent crime, including gang and drug-related activities, routine criminal investigations, security surveillance, and large-scale emergency response. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, PERFORMANCE MEASURES. The project will: 1. Provide $116,341 toward the purchase of a Public Safety Command Vehicle. The command vehicle will enhance and improve on-site incident management capabilities and support the five Regional Type -2 SWAT Teams, 35 LE Strike Teams, Type -3 Incident Management Teams (IMT) and CBRNE1 Response Teams in Texas. The vehicle will provide incident command with advanced capabilities and situational awareness. It will respond to all -hazards incidents in the Urban Area and beyond as needed, and will support pre -planned events, regional training, and exercises. The command vehicle will provide redundant, interoperable communications capabilities, including voice, data, wireless -mesh video and satellite capabilities. This vehicle can be rapidly deployed to respond to and manage emergency incidents within the Urban Area, and through mutual aid agreement, will reach areas within and outside the State of Texas. The 38 -foot vehicle has the capacity to fully support 17 seated positions in a climate - controlled environment. The total cost of this vehicle will be $420,000 — of which $304,000 is being funded by a grant through the federal Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) program. The balance of the funds necessary for the vehicle's technology elements — wireless and satellite connectivity and other technology — to complete this project would be funded by this Congressionally Selected Award. Cost: $116,341. 2. Fund the initial deployment of TASER electronic control devices to 85 field officers. This deployment would provide field officers with another tool for less -lethal response to resistance or aggression. Every field officer and sergeant in the Department will receive an electronic control, cartridges, and holsters. Cost: $86,314 t Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high -yield explosives 3. Fund protective gear for field officers responding in hazardous environments. Personal protective gear includes air -purifying respirators (APR), CBRN suits, and related footwear. Cost: $97,345. Thus, this project would provide the Police Department with additional tools to manage large- scale incidents, response to resistance or aggression, and protect officers responding to incidents in hazardous environments. The City of Round Rock understands that it must provide data measuring the results of this project. To that end, the Police Department proposes the follow set of performance measures associated with this project: Project Element Performance Measure Data Provided by the Grantee Command Vehicle Acquire and accept vehicle • Confirmation documentation that vehicle has been acquired Equipment and staff training • Documentation that training has occurred Deployment to a pre- planned exercise • After -action report documenting the use of the vehicle in that exercise Placement in service • Number of command vehicle deployments during initial year of service Electronic Control Devices Acquisition of supplies • Documentation that supplies were purchased Officer training • Number of officers who receive training in the use of these devices Placement in service • • Number of deployments during first year of service Copy of annual review of Response to Resistance or Aggression incidents Personal Protective Gear Acquisition of supplies • Number of officers to whom supplies were assigned Officer training • Number and documentation of officers being trained in the proper use of protective gear Deployment in a pre- planned exercise • Number of officers participating in an exercise designed to test the use of protective gear in a tactical incident. PROJECT DESIGN. The City will purchase the equipment and supplies using normal procurement rules that adhere to state and federal requirements. Once acquired, the Police Department will provide the necessary training and place the equipment and supplies into service. As the command vehicle will be a regional asset within the State of Texas, a set of milestones already is established for that element of the project — the major components of which are outlined above. Training for electronic control devices and personal protective gear will be provided by the Police Department. Pre -planned deployments will be built into the Department's normal training regime in-house and in coordination with regional exercises. The placement in service and deployment of electronic control devices will be captured as part of the Department's existing system to report and monitor police response to resistance or aggression. Acquisition of the equipment and supplies is anticipated to be completed during the first year of the project. By the end of the project's second year, all training and deployment will have been conducted. MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY. The Police Department's Logistics and Research Unit will be responsible for the acquisition of the equipment and supplies outlined in this project. This unit of the Department employs two logistics officers supervised by an administrative manager. Training will be administered through the Department's Training and Recruiting Detail, which is composed of three trainers and a sergeant supervisor. Training and Recruiting personnel also will participate in the design and administration of preplanned exercises in coordination with the City's emergency management function — which is comprised of a civilian emergency management coordinator and a Police Lieutenant.

Procurement will be accomplished using the City of Round Rock's normal procurement method, which is consistent with Texas and federal law. Technology -related command vehicle equipment What is being purchased here essentially is the connectivity and networking piece of the command vehicle. The major elements being purchased are: Satellite Antenna (data and voice) $36,530.45 Firewall $3281.35 Network Router and Switches $13,866.40 Wireless Accept Point $891.24 IP Phones (wired and wireless) $7,580.00 Uninterruptible Power Supply $2,027.46 Other Technology Equipment $14,549.76 Satellite Service (data and voice) $9,172.00 Installation $28,000.00 Shipping $4,442.12 TOTAL $116,340.79 Installation of this equipment will allow the command platform to interact with other tactical and command elements, and will allow electronic information to be brought directly into the tactical command. The network elements and connectivity features do not lend themselves well to being leased. Fit -Test Instrument for Air Purifying Respirators This equipment is necessary to ensure that the APRs purchased elsewhere in this project fit properly. Without ensuring a proper fit of these masks, officers may experience APR failure during deployment in a hazardous environment. Electronic Control Devices and Related Equipment The unit cost is based on Texas state -contract -pricing for Taser Model X26E with an extended life battery, holster, and 25 -foot cartridge. This equipment would provide police officers another less -lethal tool with which they may respond to resistance or aggression incidents. CBRN equipment for SWAT officers Budget would provide for APR mask system, tactical headset system and CBRN protective over- garments (coat, trousers, gloves, over -boots) for 25 members of the Department's SWAT team. Unit cost is determined by taking the total cost for these items (some of which are different sizes) and backing out an overall unit cost per SWAT officer. Air Purifying Respirators Project would provide masks, filters, carrier for each of 85 officers, as well as a filter mount plug tool for every five officers. The unit cost was determined by taking the total cost and calculating an average per -officer cost.
