RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff- Coroner, or designee, to execute the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with The Law Enforcement Information Exchange (LInX), in an amount not to exceed $100,000 to implement and execute data sharing for Automated Regional Information Exchange System (ARIES) for the period commencing with the full execution of the MOU until terminated by either party.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Hardware equipment and software licenses will be purchased from the Urban Areas Security Initiative grant and/or ARIES user charges. No part of this cost will be funded by the County General Fund. ARIES is a self-sustained, participating- agency funded organization.

BACKGROUND:

ARIES is a software application owned by Contra Costa County, and used by the County and other law enforcement agencies to manage arrest and parolee data collected from law enforcement agencies. ARIES manages arrest and parole data provided by local law enforcement agencies that is stored on the County servers. Approximately 2000 law enforcement agencies participate in the LInX program in fifteen regions throughout the United States. The purpose of this MOU is to implement and execute data sharing between ARIES and LInX.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The objective of implementing and executing data sharing between ARIES and LInX is to ensure that ARIES users will have access to data information provided by LInX which includes, SoCal LInX as well as all LInX agencies/regions. SoCal LInX data, including military data, will be shared and stored locally within the ARIES Data Warehouse. ARIES users will have access to the LInX system interface from which users can make a national level request from all LInX agencies and Department of Defense Exchange (DDEx). If the MOU is not approved, ARIES users will not be able to access the valuable data base within LInX. Law enforcement officers will not have access to LInX and its nationwide data base.
