Use of a Cooperative Contract for the Purchase of One Body Scanner for the Mesa Police Department (Citywide)
This purchase is for a full body scanner equipped with a thermal reader to enhance operational efficiency and reduce physical contact during inmate processing. The Holding Unit is responsible for handling inmates who must currently undergo manual pat-down searches. A full body scanner offers advanced detection capabilities that exceed those of a physical search conducted by a detention officer. This initial unit will be installed at the Northeast Public Safety facility and the department plans to purchase another unit for headquarters after renovations are complete.
The Mesa Police Department and Procurement Services recommend authorizing the purchase using the BuyBoard cooperative contract with Tek84 at $191,000, based on estimated requirements. This purchase is funded through Opioid Settlement Funds.
