RE:
Expenditure of police forfeiture monies to purchase night vision and thermal
imaging equipment
ISSUE
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners authorize the use of not more than $50,000.00
from the police forfeiture account to purchase night vision and thermal imaging equipment and for this account
to be reimbursed by FDLE upon proof of purchase?
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION
The Ocoee Police department was recently awarded a $50,000 grant from the State of Florida /Florida
Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to purchase night vision and thermal imaging equipment. As
originally submitted, the grant was approved for seven (7) military type night vision monoculars (costing
approximately $5000.00 each) to be used by officers in low light environments to help locate people where
conventional lighting may not be practical. The grant also provided one (1) thermal imager (costing
approximately $15,000.00) to locate people in smoke, fog, or dense vegetation. As the seven (7) night vision
devices at $5,000.00 each exceeds $25,000.00, the police department would like to "piggyback" off of the City
of Orlando's DemandStar bid solicitation FQ06-388 (ITT brand Model 6015 Night Enforcers for $3,509.00 each
including required accessories). This would enable the department to buy more than seven (7) devices and more
than one (1) thermal imager. The department wishes to do so if FDLE allows. The purchase amount for all items
would not exceed $50,000.00. Bullard brand Tac Sight thermal imager(s) will be purchased through regular
purchasing channels as they are less than $25,000.00 each and the purchase price for two (2) would still be less
than $25,000.00. The purchase of the night vision monoculars and the purchase of the thermal imager(s) would
be independent of each other.
This is a reimbursement grant requiring the police department to purchase the items and then be reimbursed by
FDLE upon proof of purchase. The police department will use monies from the police forfeiture account to
purchase the equipment. There is approximately $58,000 in that account.

THE New Critical Tool in Your Arsenal
The TacSight SE35 thermal imager enables law enforcement personnel to see heat
signatures of objects, people, and other sources. It detects extremely small
differences in temperature, so that officers can distinguish people from their
immediate surroundings. Needing no light to operate, the TacSight SE35
generates high-quality images on the darkest nights, even through smoke and
fog. While darkness and camouflage can defeat night vision, suspects cannot
hide from thermal imaging. Their own body heat gives them away.
The TacSight SE35 is a powerful tool for tactical, swveillance and scene
assessment applications.
Extreme Performance Under The Hood
The TacSight SE35 utilizes the latest thermal imaging technology. Its advanced
infrared engine incorporates an ultra high resolution focal plane array that enables
maximum clarity for distinguishing objects and features at long distances.

See in complete darkness, fog, and smoke!
TACSIGHT enables law enforcement personnel to see heat signatures of objects, people, and other
sources. TACSIGHT detects extremely small differences in temperature, so that officers can
distinguish people from their immediate surroundings. Needing no light to operate, the TACSIGHT
generates high-quality images on the darkest nights, even through smoke and fog. Compare that to
conventional night vision equipment, which requires light or special illuminators
and is incapacitated by smoke, fog, and often other particulates. While darkness and camouflage
can defeat night vision, suspects cannot hide from TACSIGHT. Their own body heat gives them
away.
The TACSIGHT thermal imager is a powerful tool for tactical, surveillance and scene assessment
applications. Its small size and convenient side straps make the TACSIGHT right- or left-handed,
freeing an officer's dominant hand for a service weapon or baton.
Lets Talk Interoperability!
Tacsight offers a unique advantage of interoperability with other Bullard thermal imagers within your
community!
If your fire department has purchased any of the T3 Series Thermal
Imagers then you have an interoperability advantage that no other
thermal imager can offer!
Here's how...
We will
employ every
advantage we can
get and the
BulJard Tacs.ight
ranks high on the
list of effective
too.ls in ourJob
. Batteries
the batteries for Tacsight and the 13 range are compatible and
interoperable.
. Battery Charging system
both the "desktop" charger and vehicle mount system for Tacsight and
the T3 range are compatible and interoperable, meaning that batteries
from both systems can be recharged in either system, adding to
capacity and capability, especially during joint operations.
. Transmit I receive system
Both Tacsight and the T3 range broadcast and receive on the same 2.4 GHz 4-channel frequency range,
using interoperable equipment. This means that you can expand or coordinate operations through use of
this compatible system. In fact, the receiving and transmitting capability of Tacsight is compatible
through the entire range of Bullard thermal imagers, including the TIx, MX, and TIComander. Can others
