BACKGROUND:
The police department is currently participating in a Taser Assurance Plan (TAP) agreement with Axon
Enterprises Incorporated that is expiring FY 2018. The TAP is an installment program that affords the
police department the ability to fund Tasers over five years while ensuring warranty and repair is covered
for any damaged or defective Taser for the term of the program. At the end of the five years, the police
department will receive new Tasers purchased under the TAP which will be warrantied for one additional
year. The proposed agreement will create a new TAP agreement; consolidate an existing TAP agreement,
and add four additional Tasers for police officers hired under the COPS Grant.
