Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program to reflect increased revenue in the amount of $107,779 which will be utilized to continue the funding of the Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) program. Background:Under the JAG FY 2011 Local Solicitation Program, the Richmond County Sheriff's Office (RCSO) will continue the purchase of a computer module designed specifically for the existing Mobile Data Terminal software application. Analysis:The Richmond County Sheriff's Office will continue the purchase and maintenance of Mobile Data Terminal associated technology for use in vehicles assigned to the Field Operations and Criminal Investigations Divisions. The 2011 Program grant funding will be used to further the technological undertaking that this agency began with the 1998 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program. As the expansion of the RCSO MDT project continues, the need for additional software to further the “mobile approach” is necessary. It is the goal of the RCSO to continue the upgrade process to existing MDT software to enable the agency to implement the Field Reporting module.
