In Car Video System. (DICV) The parties each have an interest to ensure that the Grand Rapids Police Department (GRPD) operates as efficiently as possible and maximizes the benefits of new technologies. The GRPOA recognizes and agrees to the pending changes of the GRPD Manual of Procedures regarding the use of the in-car video system (DICV). However, the GRPOA does have a concern with any future change that would require the DICV be activated for an entire shift while on duty. In order to address this concern, the Police Chief has expressed to the GRPOA that there is currently no plan to require the DICV be activated for an entire shift. Additionally, the City and the GRPOA mutually agree to the following: • The parties agree that the current DICV procedures shall not be materially changed (e.g. to require continuous activation of the DICV for an entire shift) during the term of this agreement. • This agreement in no way limits the Police Chief’s ability to make other changes to the Manual of Procedures. Any new technology that could be used for monitoring employee performance will not be used for disciplinary purposes for one year after implementation unless the union has agreed to earlier use.
In Car Video System. The system shall be furnished by the City with the Digital video recorder (DVR) installed in the console. The camera shall be mounted to the front windshield in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. Power for the camera system shall be controlled only by the MDC.
