The integration between the in-car camera and body worn camera means when one camera is activated to record, the other cameras will also begin recording. The use of both an in-car camera and a body worn camera is to provide for multiple points of view during an enforcement contact and provide for better transparency. At the conclusion of their patrol shift, the cameras will upload all video and audio recordings into the vendors digital evidence management tool and stored on a Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliant cloud storage server. The Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) understands the sensitive and complex nature of any recording. CDFW has existing policies concerning the use of in-car and body worn camera systems. It is the intention of CDFW to comply with all requests for video recordings filed under the California Public Records Act (CPRA). The release of any recording will be in accordance with all applicable statutes in addition to CDFW policy and will be treated like all other sensitive information released by the Department. Court ordered requests, subpoenas, or other statutes of discovery for recordings will be adhered to per CDFW¿s legal requirement. CDFW¿s goal is to allow for increased documentation of contacts with members of the public, arrests and critical incidents - enhancing officer accountability. Additionally, the use of body worn, and in-car camera systems will increase CDFW¿s ability to review probable cause for arrests, interactions between wildlife officers and members of the public, serve as additional evidence for investigation and prosecution, and provide for officer training. In order to acquire the Wireless Body Worn Camera and In-Car Camera System, CDFW must complete the State of California Project Approval Lifecycle (PAL) Process that is administered by the California Department of Technology (CDT). CDFW is in the process of completing Phase 2 of the PAL Process, and they would like an independent, third-party firm to assist with the Stage 3 of the PAL Process to accelerate its completion of the procurement documents and to maintain the current project schedule
