Budget PlanningPublic SafetyDetected Jun 22, 2026

Within the FY 2026-27 final budget, Hughson Police Services proposes purchasing three additional Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras to expand the existing EPIC IO camera/ALPR network at key intersections. The one-time capital cost is 13,345 and the annual software subscription is 52,212 (4,351 per month), all funded through the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund and built into the proposed budget. EPIC IO already provides the city’s current ALPR and camera systems, which support investigations, stolen-vehicle recovery, Amber Alerts, and officer safety alerts, and the long-term goal is broader coverage on primary roadways and vulnerable locations.This points to committed recurring spend on ALPR SaaS and shows that Hughson is investing in data-driven policing; competing or complementary vendors have a near-term window to discuss integration, analytics, storage, and policy support, and EPIC IO can prepare for renewal, expansion, and potential cross-sell of additional capabilities.

Funding is via the Supplemental Law Enforcement Service Fund (SLESF, Prop 172-related), not the General Fund; EPIC IO is identified as the incumbent camera/ALPR provider.
