Central Monitoring Project
Department:Marshal's Office
Caption:Approve contract with SimplexGrinnell for RFP 13-222 in the
amount of $290,900.
Background:The Richmond County Marshal’s Office currently monitors close
to 400 cameras from 6 different facilities. We have been
developing a plan to provide 24/7 monitoring of existing and new
surveillance systems from the new Marshal’s Substation on Deans
Bridge Rd. The purpose of the MOC is to monitor locations for
physical security, suspicious activity and asset protection.
Analysis:A central monitoring center would maximize efficiencies and
allow for a platform to expand services. This service would allow
for future cost savings for existing video and alarm systems, and
provide an added new service to protect county assets not
currently protected. RFP 13-222 was advertised and resulted in the
selection committee and the consultant choosing SimplexGrinnell
as the preferred vendor.
Financial Impact:Funding for the project will be split between Capital, Water and
Sewer and Environmental Services.
Alternatives:
Recommendation:Marshal's Office recommends approval of contract with selected
vendor

Upgrade of Palatine Technology Group EWI System
Department:Information Technology
Caption:Approve an upgrade for the current Electronic Warrant
Interchange system from Palatine Technology Group.
Background:When a person is arrested and booked, the arresting officer must
obtain a warrant from the Warrants Office in the Judicial Center.
This procedure was automated in 2009 when software from
Palatine Technology Group (PTG) was implemented that
eliminated the need for a deputy to go to the Warrants Office in
person. The process involves the use of computer networks,
computers, and video cameras in order to eliminate the travel
component of the warrant process. Images as well as warrants are
transmitted electronically so that the warrant can be obtained more
quickly and the deputy can return to duty.The original contract
with Palatine Technology Group was approved by the commission
on March 17, 2009.
Analysis:The original version of the Electronic Warrant Interchange (EWI)
product has not had a significant upgrade since it was introduced
in 2009. PTG has released a new version (version 5) which
includes many enhancements to the product. These include: 1.
Browser-based application using the latest web technology (it runs
on an intranet and not public internet). 2. The entire application
was rewritten and it is 300% faster than previous version. 3. All
forms are generated in adobe PDF format (it no longer uses
Microsoft Word). 4. The application includes an integrated spell
checker. 5. The application supports mobile devices (including
Laptops and Microsoft Surface Pro). 6. Built in SIP (Session
Initiation Protocol) compliance Video Conferencing. 7. Enterprise
version allows unlimited users to access EWI information from
various stations and departments within the county. 8. Supports
touch screen monitors to sign on screen instead of use of signature
pads. 9. Can be used in Patrol cars or specialized unit such as DUI
or Mobile Command Units. 10. Enhanced interface and business
logic to improve error checking and system robustness. 11.
Addition of Dashboard functionality to view all case information
at a glance. 12. Support photo, document and video images to be
added to case. 13. New Administrative module simplifies day to

day operation of the system and provides tracking log that can be
downloaded to Excel.
Financial Impact:The project will cost $30,750, which is funded through approved
IT Capital funds.
