RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the District Attorney, or designee, to execute a Cost Sharing Agreement with law enforcement agencies of the Contra Costa County Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) in an amount up to $25,150, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 for use of the Safe Evidence Management System.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will permit the County to receive additional revenue of up to $25,150.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) is a partnership between Community Violence Solutions (the rape crisis center), the Office of the District Attorney, the Office of the Sheriff, local police agencies, the Contra Costa County Health Services Department and Employment and Human Services Department. The SART performs medical exams and facilitates the collection of evidence using sexual assault kits (SAK) to aid in prosecution of sexual assault crimes. On behalf of the SART, the Office of the District Attorney has entered into an agreement with Tracker Products, LLC to purchase five licenses for the SART use of Tracker Products, LLC’s Safe Evidence Management System to track the testing of SAKs. The member law enforcement agencies of the SART wish to share the cost of maintaining the licenses to use the Safe Evidence Management System.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive additional funding to support the continuation of the licenses for the SART to use Tracker Products, LLC’s Safe Evidence Management System.
