The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) is hoping to add some new SUVs to its fleet and outfit about 40 officers with body cameras.
Requests for quotes on Sask Tenders were made July 13 and 15, respectively.
According to the site, SPS is looking for “a commercially available, cloud-based, turnkey Body Worn Camera (BwC) Solution from qualified proponents. The solution will provide SPS uniformed members the ability to capture video from a law enforcement officer’s perspective that is then stored and managed in a cloud-based Digital Evidence Management Solution (DEMS).”
The SUV request is for 21 Ford Police Interceptors.
According to an email from Communications Senior Coordinator Kelsie Fraser, the SUVs will replace existing vehicles. The replacement cycle takes place every five years or 200,000 kilometres. Last year, an additional 15 vehicles were also replaced.
