Covert Video and Audio Recorder
A compact recorder concealed in the seams of a baseball cap will transmit audio and video to nearby officers to monitor the safety of undercover officers. The recorder for 77th Narcotics Enforcement Detail will provide additional safety, undisputable video and audio evidence in court, and allow officers to gain intelligence and property layouts to determine the best tactics, tools and techniques to employ.
Ballistic Testing and Evaluating Equipment
All ammunition used by LAPD must be tested to ensure officer and community safety before it is used in the field. The Police Foundation is providing the Firearms and Tactics Section with a chronograph to ensure that ammunition will meet FBI standards. This equipment funded, through the Wasserman Foundation, will ensure that all department personnel will receive the highest quality and best performing ammunition.
Incident Command Post
Unit Equipment
Emergency Operations Division responds to 80 – 100 calls per year. They are the central response unit for all of LAPD that supplies equipment for all emergency deployments, special events, and officer involved shootings. Portable generators are essential pieces of equipment for LAPD to set up a command post. Funding through the Wasserman Foundation will provide for three generators.
