# Jamie Hammond Van Buren chief of police in the 2020 WatchGuard procurement record. Hammond's September 22 memo made the departmental case for a full body-worn-camera program and replacement of unsupported L3 in-car systems. ## Role and affiliations Hammond addressed the proposal to Mayor [[Joe Hurst]]. He compared the existing two-camera BWC posture with staffing needs, evaluated Axon and WatchGuard, and recommended WatchGuard. ## Appearances in the corpus - [[Van Buren WatchGuard Ordinance Quote and Camera Proposal]] - proposed forty body-worn and fifteen in-car systems and identified increased FOIA requests as one disadvantage of a BWC program. - [[2020-12 Van Buren Authorizes WatchGuard Camera Package]] - the City later authorized the quoted WatchGuard package. - [[Van Buren Executed Flock Orders 2023-2025]] - signed the 60-month six-Falcon/two-Condor order on 2023-12-18 and the Falcon Flex addition on 2024-03-11 (`Flock Contract 4.pdf`, p. 11; `Flock Contract2.pdf`, p. 5). ## Notes The order records establish Hammond's continued signing role through 2024-03-11; they do not establish his later tenure.
