BACKGROUND
Since 2013, the City of San Leandro has maintained an annual support and maintenance contract with Axon Enterprise (formerly TASER International), to support its body-worn camera program.
Analysis
The City of San Leandro maintains an agreement with Axon Enterprise that covers the full scope of the body-worn camera program that has been in use by the San Leandro Police Department since 2013.
