STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

Expanding the number of ALPRs directly supports the City Council’s strategic outcome of creating a Safe and Prosperous City by enhancing the Yuma Police Department’s (YPD) investigative capabilities and improving the quality and speed of evidence collection. The additional ALPRs will lead to more efficient criminal investigations, stronger case outcomes, and a more secure environment for residents and businesses and by strengthening public safety infrastructure, enabling proactive law enforcement, and enhancing community confidence in local government.

 

REPORT:

YPD has experienced significant success with its current deployment of ALPRs, aiding investigations, recovering stolen vehicles, and enhancing real-time public safety operations. However, the existing ALPR network does not yet provide comprehensive coverage across the City. Several critical traffic corridors, neighborhood access points, and high-incident areas remain unmonitored, limiting the full potential of the technology. To address these gaps, YPD recommends adding strategically placed ALPRs units throughout the City.

The City currently has one pre-existing agreement being funded by general funds, for three ALPRs. This agreement was entered in May of 2024, with an annual cost of $6,504.72. This agreement ends May 2029 with a total expenditure cost of $32,523.60.

The purchase of ALPRs requires a five-year subscription term agreement with annual cost of $19,514.16 for nine ALPRs. At the end of the five-year agreement, expenditure will be $97,570.80. The aggregate total of the new ALPRs and those purchased in May of 2024 will be $130,094.40.
