RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Probation Officer, or designee, to execute a contract with International Business Information Technologies, Inc dba LEFTA Systems, in an amount not to exceed $16,335 to provide a subscription and user licenses to Shield Suite software for the term October 4, 2022, through October 3, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund; $16,335.

BACKGROUND:

LEFTA System’s SHIELD Suite is a software application that our personnel/training staff will use to document employee Field Training, Use of Force, Employee Training Records, Field Investigation Reporting, Internal Affairs Investigations, Employee Complaints, Vehicle Incident Documentation, and other events. The system is Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliant which protects private or sensitive information gathered by local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. Under the contract, the County is obligated to indemnify LEFTA for claims arising out of County’s use of the software.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The information is currently stored in different places and is not stored as securely as it will be in this system. Probation will also not have a method to create a cohesive report detailing all of an employee’s training, any areas to be addressed, or the need for additional training.
