Roswell police had researched the cameras to equip its sworn officers and recommended that the city acquire the devices from Axon Enterprise Inc. of Scottsdale, Ariz., a manufacturer of police gear including TASER devices. The first-year fee includes training, warranty, data storage and licensing.

The council also approved annual payments of $58,933 in years two through five of its contract with Axon to continue the maintenance agreements associated with warranty, data storage and licensing.
