City of South Bend, Indiana September 1, 2017 Page 5 D. Training General Comment: Training and implementation of the Visual Labs system is extremely simple and straightforward. The device used for recording is a fully -functioning, non-pror)rietary smartphone, just like most individuals use every day. In designing the system, Visual Labs focused on being user friendly in lieu of having "flashy" components. Even though the system has many advanced, high technology features, implementation and training, from start to finish, can be accomplished in a very short time. Recently, the Visual Labs system was implemented with the police department in Fontana, California, an agency with 200 sworn officers. The time period from the first day of training to full implementation was less than 30 days. A similar result was achieved with the Washington County, Minnesota Sheriff's Office, an agency of similar size. We encourage you to contact both agencies and specifically ask about the speed of deployment and our responsiveness. Contacts for both agencies are shown below. Many other references can be provided upon request. Sergeant Christian, Surgent City of Fontana Police Department 17005 Upland Avenue Fontana, CA 92335 csurgent@fontana.org 909-854-8051 Commander Andrew Ellickson Washington County Sheriffs Office 15015 62nd Street North Stillwater, MIN 55082 Andrew.Ellickson@co,washington.mn.us 651-430-7814 With respect to training, Visual Labs would plan for a two,- to four -clay training program similar to that offered to clients of similar size. Additional training would be provided as appropriate. On day one, one or more train -the -trainer sessions would be followed by direct training to groups of officers and/or "power users" -- specialized staff such as IT or records management. Direct in -field training via one or more ride-alongs and tabletop exercises for officer safety features (e.g. live streaming) may also be appropriate. Website training sessions would allow administrators, records personnel and others to view the previous day's footage and perform analytics via heatmaps, geofenice reports, dashboards, etc. Visual Labs will provide the necessary training during off -hours (nights, weekends) to ensure that all staff are appropriately trained. In general, group training sessions are led by two Visual Labs staff members and each session can be completed in approximately two hours.
