The California Highway Patrol on Monday released an RFQ for hardware, software and storage that will be used in a pilot of body-worn cameras.
The CHP will test the body-worn cameras at two field offices in Stockton and Oakland. The RFQ includes body-worn cameras, cloud storage, local storage, evidence management software, configuration and training to support the one-year pilot project.
"The primary difference between the two offices will be the media (local or cloud storage) upon which the video evidence is maintained. The Oakland Area Office will use cloud storage and the Stockton Area Office will use local storage (with the database replicated to CHP Headquarters in Sacramento)," the project's Statement of Work says.
Request for quotations (RFQs) are due May 23.
If the test is successful., the body-worn cameras could be extended to thousands of CHP officers and more than 100 offices.
CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow told a State Senate budget subcommittee last month that the pilot will begin this summer after a vendor is selected. Read more about Farrow's comments on Techwire.
