RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the District Attorney, or designee, to execute a contract with Peregrine Technologies, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $570,000 to provide a statistical software system for executive analysis and reporting to facilitate law enforcement planning and response, for the period December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2025, with an option to extend for up to two additional years through November 30, 2027 at a cost of $190,000 per year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract is funded 100% by County General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The District Attorney’s Office (DAO) has identified the need for advanced analysis of our database to enable data-driven decision making, as well as increase the level of transparency to the community regarding the operations of the DAO. Our current software systems provide us with data and information. However, in its current configuration the data is not suitable for analysis, nor are we able to query the system for more complex information.

In addition, the District Attorney’s Office has the responsibility of complying with the Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA). This bill requires all sworn law enforcement agencies in California to report their demographic stop data to the California Department of Justice. The Peregrine software application will allow DAO law enforcement personnel to collect and report the relevant data via a mobile application.

The initial term of the contract is for three years from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2025. The DAO may extend the contract for up to two (2) additional one-year terms after the initial term, extending the contract through November 30, 2027. The total amount payable to the contractor will not exceed $950,000 by November 30, 2027. The contract requires Peregrine to maintain cyber insurance coverage of $2,000,000. Peregrine will provide professional services to deploy the software system, integrate and model customer data, and configure user-facing tools to support priority workflows and use cases, and conduct training.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District Attorney’s Office will be limited in its ability to interpret its data, and our responsibilities related to RIPA will take more time because the forms will have to be completed manually.
