RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Bay Area Rapid Transit District to participate in the ARIES Integrated Justice System for the purpose of sharing and integrating criminal justice information from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$30,000 annually; 100% revenue from maintenance fees. The 2008 Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant will fund the connection and integration costs associated with bringing BART Police Department onboard.

BACKGROUND:

The County has been working in cooperation with neighboring jurisdictions as part of the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI). The 2008 UASI grant provided through the US Department of Homeland Security, for which the County is a subresipient under the City of San Francisco, is funding the expansion of the Automated Regional Information Exchange System (ARIES) integrated criminal justice information system. The Memorandum of Understanding provides for the Bay Area Rapid Transit District Police Department to have access to ARIES for the purpose of sharing and integrating criminal justice information with other participating agencies. The MOU sets forth the governing policies and procedures for the use of ARIES by participating agencies, to include maintenance and responsibility of the information within the system. ARIES has the capability to make potential linkages between law enforcement information from crime incidents, criminal investigations, warrants, arrests, bookings, paroles and other pertinent information. Participating agencies law enforcement and homeland security efforts will greatly benefit from the shared information.
