2008 Congressional Earmarked Funds (COPS 2009 Technology Grant)
Department:Sheriff
Caption:Approve a 2009 budget amendment for the 2008 Congressionally
Earmarked Funding (COPS 2009 Technology Grant) to reflect increased
revenue in the amount of $350,000 which will be utilized to continue
funding the Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) Program.
Background:The RCSO MDT program began in 1998. The goal of the Sheriff's Office is
to have MDT's active in all Uniformed and Criminal Investigation Division
field vehicles. Although new MDT's are still being installed in vehicles that
had not been previously equipped, some earlier MDT units are being
replaced due to age and outdating. MDT's allow for warrant checks on
suspects, stolen inquiries on property (vehicles, weapons, electronics, etc.),
and the ability to enter and file police reports electronically. Previous
LLEBG and JAG funding programs have provided the RCSO the
opportunity to install, operate, and maintain the MDT's.
Analysis:
Financial Impact:Funding Source: 2008 Congressionally Earmarked Funds (designated for
FY2009 COPS Technology). Federal Funding = $350,000. Local Funding =
$0 (No local match required)
Alternatives:Permit the loss of the present opportunity to continue to implement and
upgrade MDT technology with minimal cost to the taxpayer. Failure to
continue to purchase and implement a proven tool in law enforcement which
permits: 1) A safety factor for front-line personnel with direct, quick access
to criminal histories, photographs, and other pertinent data; 2) A higher
arrest rate for criminal offenders with outstanding warrants; 3) A higher
recovery rate for stolen property; and 4) Less "out of service" time for
Sheriff's Office personnel allowing more time for their primary duties.
Recommendation:Approve the 2009 budget amendment for the continued purchase of Mobile
Data Terminals for the Richmond County Sheriff's Office utilizing funding
from the 2008 Congressionally Earmarked Funds (for FY2009 COPS
Technology).
