33 Independent validation: An external review by the Axtell Group identified RMS-related 34 inefficiencies as a significant operational concern and recommended pursuing a system that 35 better supports staff workloads. 36 37 The agreement is time-sensitive. Axon requires a commitment by January 13, 2026, before full system 38 design and development begins with St. Paul's project. 39 The contract has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. 40 41 42 Policy Objectives 43 Approval of the proposed Axon Records Management System (RMS) partnership advances the City of 44 Roseville’s strategic objectives by modernizing critical public safety technology, improving operational 45 efficiency, strengthening cybersecurity, and ensuring long-term fiscal sustainability. 46 This initiative directly supports the Roseville Police Department’s Five-Year Resource and Operational 47 Efficiency Plan by reducing administrative burden, eliminating redundant data entry, improving data 48 accuracy, and consolidating multiple systems into a single, integrated platform. These improvements 49 allow sworn and civilian staff to focus on core public safety responsibilities and community engagement. 50 The proposal aligns with the City’s Strategic Plan, specifically Responsive Services and Safety – Goal 51#2, by ensuring the department has the appropriate technology and systems in place to respond 52 effectively to community needs. It also supports City Operations – Goal #1 by streamlining workflows, 53 consolidating technology platforms, and improving overall operational effectiveness. 54 By partnering with St. Paul and implementing Axon’s integrated RMS and technology ecosystem, the 55 City makes a strategic investment that aligns with adopted plans, addresses current system limitations, 56 and positions Roseville to meet future public safety and operational demands in a cost-effective and 57 sustainable manner. 58 59 60 Equity Impact Summary 61 The implementation of the Axon ecosystem is expected to advance equity by improving the consistency, 62 transparency, and accountability of police operations. By streamlining administrative tasks such as 63 evidence management and documentation, the department can reduce potential errors or disparities in 64 case handling, ensuring fair treatment for all community members. Freed-up staff time allows officers to 65 focus more on proactive community engagement, relationship-building, and addressing the needs of 66 vulnerable or historically underserved populations. 67 68 Many of the technologies included in the Axon ecosystem, such as drones, body-worn cameras, and 69 license plate readers, are already in use by the department. Their deployment is guided by strict 70 departmental policies, applicable state laws, and independent audits, which are conducted regularly to 71 ensure responsible and lawful use. These safeguards provide additional layers of oversight, 72 accountability, and transparency, further supporting equitable outcomes for the community. 73 74 This recommendation aligns with the City’s Community Aspirations by fostering a safer, more engaged, 75 and inclusive community. The use of technology in a responsible and transparent manner, coupled with 76 strong policies, public input, and independent oversight, helps strengthen community trust and supports 77 equitable access to public safety services. Overall, the project is designed to enhance operational 78 effectiveness while promoting fair and equitable outcomes for all residents. 79 80 See attached equity toolkit for additional details.
