Rapid Police Camera Deployment

Has anyone worked with their police on methods for rapid/covert camera deployment and have any wisdom about it? Our situation: We are deploying an IP-based camera system on a private vlan/network. Our police would like to be able to in an emergency connect a camera to the network (this could be any time, 24x7). This may also include using a wireless bridge. The simplest solution would be to dedicate a port per equipment closet for UPD's use but I have some concerns there. This also seems like a great use of role-based networking but we're a few years away from that. My current thought is to include a small IPSEC router that would autoconnect back to a device on the private vlan and provide connectivity for the codec/camera. Any input greatly appreciated!
