Recommended Action

chief, two police lieutenants, and one police information technology (IT)staff member to travel
to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for consultation on the purchase of a new public safety command post
vehicle.
Executive Summary
One fire division chief,two police lieutenants,and one IT staff member will meet with LDV,
Incorporated in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on the construction of a new command post vehicle for
the police and fire departments.
Discussion
The Carlsbad Police Department last purchased a command post vehicle in 2008, and the needs
of public safety warrant the purchase of an updated vehicle.
A public safety command post vehicle provides an office and resource-gathering location in a
mobile setting that can go almost anywhere on short notice.It allows for planning,
communications, and logistical support to be conducted on-site and close to the activity, and
provides a location that is out of public view and the elements.
A public safety command post can be used at planned events, such as checkpoints and the city's
special events,as well as unplanned events such as large-scale collisions,hostage situations,
barricaded suspects, and human or manmade disasters such as fire, flood, or hazardous waste.
It can also be used to liaison with the Emergency Operations Center (EOC).The public safety
command post will also provide a basic back-up Communications Center should the permanent
center located at the Safety Center become inoperable.
The public safety command post vehicle is expected to last at least 15 years and can be upgraded
for future technology.
Fiscal Analysis
The cost for one fire division chief, two police lieutenants, and one IT staff member to travel to
Milwaukee,Wisconsin including flights,rental car,lodging,food and incidental expenses is
approximately $4,500.There are funds in the Fiscal Year 2016-17 police budget to cover these
expenses.
Next Steps
If the Council approves the out-of-state travel,the Carlsbad Police Department training
coordinator will book all travel related expenses.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change
in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment,
and therefore does not require environmental review.
