In 2015, the Sugar Land Police Department along with Federal Signals Corporation implemented the installation of the first license plate recognition cameras (LPR) via the City Wide Camera Project. Federal Signals Corporation is the sole source provider for Genetec LPR cameras utilized by the City of Sugar Land.
Since then, the Sugar Land Police Department has continued its license plate recognition program and oversees numerous LPR camera systems throughout the City.
In October 2017, Federal Signals Corporation sold their installation and repair division, which supports the City's Genetec LPR camera systems, to Minute Men Security Technologies. Minute Men Security Technologies is the new sole source provider of the Genetec LPR camera systems and will continue to support the City's LPR cameras by way of an annual maintenance contract totaling $53,000.
The annual maintenance agreement includes:
- Remote Support for Software and Hardware Troubleshooting
- Weekly Health Checks
- Scheduled On-Site Preventative Maintenance Every 4 Months
- Hardware, Software, Firmware and Server Updates
- Costs for Labor and Truck Usage
The Sugar Land Police Department requests approval to contract with Minute Men Security Technologies for the annual maintenance of the current LPR camera systems totaling $53,000.00.
