Real Time Crime Center Audio Visual Purchase
At a glance
- What: Assembly Memorandum AM 524-2026 asks approval of a cooperative purchase from ThunderCat Technology, LLC through OMNIA Partners contract R250609 for the purchase and installation of an audio visual system for the Anchorage Police Department's Real Time Crime Center, not to exceed $598,998.10.
- Where it stands: postponed twice, to August 18 and then to September 1, 2026, with no vote on the purchase itself in the minutes read.
- Why it matters: on August 18 the Assembly also took up the surveillance technology ordinance that would regulate real time crime center operations; see AO 2026-108 surveillance technology and license plate readers.
