加利福尼亚州河滨县棕榈沙漠市议会4比1批准县警局实时信息中心：造价约120万美元由三市均摊，无人机先行响应计划暂缓至1月再议
加利福尼亚州河滨县棕榈沙漠市议会以 4 比 1 表决，批准推进为河滨县警长部门新建一处实时信息中心。
这处中心将设在棕榈沙漠警局站新建的调度设施内。据市政府职员报告，中心将设大型视频墙与工作站，警局人员可在一处查看实时视频、事件信息与地图，协助协调出警。
中心造价约 120 万美元，由棕榈沙漠、兰乔米拉日与印第安韦尔斯三市均摊，棕榈沙漠份额约 40 万美元。棕榈沙漠将先行垫付全部费用，另两市再偿还各自份额。兰乔米拉日与印第安韦尔斯此前已批准加入该项目。
市议会同时一致表决暂缓第二部分，即无人机先行响应计划。按该计划，警员可从停靠站远程发射无人机前往求助电话与紧急事件现场，并把实时航拍视频传回中心。市政府与警长部门计划先举行线上与线下社区会议，市议会将于 1 月再审议该计划。
无人机计划方面，三市已从四家申请公司中选定 Axon Enterprise，计划五年造价约 385 万美元，职员请求获准签订最高 450 万美元的合同，三市尚未决定如何分摊无人机费用。
Palm Desert in Riverside County, California: the City Council Votes 4 to 1 for a Sheriff Real Time Information Center Costing About 1.2 Million Dollars Shared by Three Cities, and Defers a Drone First Responder Program to January
The city council of Palm Desert in Riverside County, California, has voted 4 to 1 to move forward with a new real time information center for the Riverside County Sheriff Department.
The center would be built inside the sheriff new dispatch facility at the Palm Desert Sheriff Station. According to a city staff report, it would include a large video wall and workstations where sheriff personnel could view live video, incident information and maps in one place, helping coordinate deputies as they respond to calls.
The center would cost around 1.2 million dollars, split equally among Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage and Indian Wells, with the Palm Desert share at about 400,000 dollars. The city will pay the full cost up front, and the other two cities will pay back their shares. Rancho Mirage and Indian Wells have already approved joining the project.
Council members voted unanimously to hold off on the second piece, a Drone as First Responder program. Under the program, deputies would remotely launch drones from docking stations to calls for service and emergencies, sending live aerial video back to the center. The city and the sheriff department plan to hold community meetings, both online and in person, before the council takes the program up again in January.
For the drone program, the cities chose Axon Enterprise out of four companies that applied. The program would cost around 3.85 million dollars over five years, although staff asked for permission to sign a contract of up to 4.5 million dollars, and the three cities have not yet decided how they would split the drone costs.
