At the City of Norwalk General Government Committee meeting on November 5, 2026, members unanimously approved a three-year agreement with Infoquake Solutions, Inc. for an integrated land-records and vital-statistics recording system at $62,400 per year, and authorized the Town Clerk or designee to exercise two additional one-year extensions at the same annual price. The committee also reviewed a proposed sole-source, five-year Axon Enterprise contract for July 2027 through June 2032, with a total stated cost of $5,493,446. The package would provide upgraded cameras and Tasers for police, 11 license-plate readers replacing the existing Flock system, virtual-reality training, a real-time crime analysis platform, and a first-responder drone program. The Chief described the LPR replacement as not an expansion and discussed agency data ownership, access controls, retention, and audit protections. The transcript does not show a final vote on the Axon proposal.

Finance staff and the Chief described potential budget offsets, including replacement of fleet modems otherwise planned as a $193,000 capital project, and annual operating-budget savings of about $76,000 for translation services and more than $43,000 for performance and auto-tagging; the LPR costs were also described as absorbed into the proposed package. The first-year contract cost was characterized as approximately $870,000, or about $18,000 above the comparable existing costs after the stated savings. Members discussed public concerns about surveillance and privacy, the need for community communication, and the department’s compliance with applicable state requirements. No other procurement vote on the Axon item is evident in the transcript.
