2011 Budget Amendment for RCSO MDT Program
Department:Sheriff's Office
Caption:Approve a 2011 budget amendment for the FY 2011 Edward J.
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.
Financial Impact:Funding Source 2011-DJ-BX-3380 Federal Funding: $107,779.00
Local Funding: None Total Grant Funding: $107,779.00
Alternatives:Permit the loss of the present opportunity to continue to purchase,
implement, and upgrade this technology with minimal cost to the
taxpayer.
Recommendation:Approve the budget amendment for the continued support of
Mobile Data Terminals for the Sheriff's Office utilizing funding
from the 2011 Edward J. Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program
(JAG).Cover Memo
