16 – Total Aircraft

And if they're anything like the LAPD, spend $3,000 an hour on helicopter flights and $50 million annually on their helicopter program. Unless of course you're saying they also had none of that before 2022

WTH does aircraft have to do with body worn cameras? All that crap has been around for years.

Reliable BWC systems have only been in existence since 2016. The prior sheriffs conducted pilot programs but for unknown reasons weren't satisfied with the results. No explanation why. (I'm guessing budget politics BS).

It wasn't until Dicus was elected that he implemented a BWC program. But at $9M/year, it wasn't exactly chump change and had to go thru all the typical gov't red tape. Now they have it.

Sheriff’s Department Deployment Of Body Cameras Nearly 90 Percent Complete

The chopper video kind of gives a false perspective. All of the officers were properly positioned in a typical flanking maneuver without crossfire.

In 2022, when this occurred, the newly elected San Bernardino Sheriff was still trying to acquire BWCs for his department. He has since equipped 1800 of the over 2000 deputies on the force.

The total cost is approximately $5000.00 per camera annually.

5000 per fucking camera per year?

That's $10 million a year?

Let's do some maths:

A go pro is like 500 bucks, 2000 officers is a million bucks up front. Let's do $1.5 million because people drop shit sometimes.

1tb high performance micro sd's run $160 bucks, so let's round up to $200. We'll buy 10 per go pro. $2000x2000 is $400k. These will probably be replaced every 5 years.

$100 for a 26k maH external battery for 12 hours continuous use, 2 per go pro to be hot swappable, $400k. These will probably be replaced every 2 years.

A custom solution for holding the combination battery/gopro could probably be done by an American company for $300 per unit, 3000 units to be safe (accidents and shit) makes $900k.

Servers to hold the video footage are a strange one, but you could likely get a 10 petabyte storage solution installed for $300k. This will hold about 35 thousand shifts worth of 4k video at 60fps if my math is correct. That's 17.5 days of back to back 12 hour shifts for all 2000 officers, and I highly doubt they'll need all the video for every officer, and any interactions can be grabbed based on end of day reports to prune dead time where the officer is eating, farting, jerking off, etc.

Their budget already includes staff to handle data transfer, I'm sure, so we won't include that.

That brings us to $4.2 million, a lot of which will be one time cost, or every few years if need be.

Sounds like a fucking steal to me, honestly.

You have to be an asshole to agree to do that as a profession.

That said, I agree that the father set up his daughter and she ended up dying, regardless of the incompetence of the cops.

You don’t think society needs laws and people to enforce them? It’s not the police’s fault that we have crappy laws on the books, it’s all of our fault collectively.

How is it in California thr cost for a body cam is only 800 to 1000? Where are you getting your numbers lmao
