Purchase of a Drone Detection System for the Mesa Police Department (Citywide)
This equipment will be used to detect, locate, track, and mitigate an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) threat at sporting events, large gatherings, presidential and dignitary events, key resources, and critical infrastructure. The system can be used independently or in unison with other agencies to cover large areas of an event with multiple high-risk locations.
The Police Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the State of Arizona cooperative contract with Transource Service Corp, at $112,500. The purchase is funded through a Grant from the Arizona Department of Homeland Security.
