RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a Maintenance and Support Agreement with Gemalto Cogent, Inc., in an amount not to exceed, $454,772 for the purchase of Livescan specific hardware, implementation services, and support of the software, for a five-year period beginning January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County Cost. $454,772.00 from CAL ID Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The California Identification System (Cal-ID) is the automated system maintained by the California Department of Justice (DOJ) for retaining fingerprint files and identifying latent fingerprints. Cal-ID monies are collected from the fees from each vehicle registered, two dollars for non-commercial vehicles and four dollars from commercial vehicles, and are used to fund programs that enhance the capacity of the state and local law enforcement to provide automated mobile, fixed Livescan fingerprint capture stations and Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) that allow identification of individuals involved in motor vehicle crimes.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The California Department of Justice has established the Remote Access Network (RAN), which is a uniform statewide network of equipment and procedures allowing local law enforcement agencies direct access to the Cal-ID System. The Contra Costa County local RAN board determines the placement of RAN equipment within the County, and coordinates the acceptance, delivery, and installation of RAN equipment. Acting as the local RAN board, mobile fingerprint identification hardware has been distributed to local law enforcement agencies within the County pursuant to the criteria specified in the Penal Code. Under the proposed contract, maintenance and support for the Livescan will be purchased to provide support and hardware replacement so that local law enforcement agencies can continue to capture arrest data and booking related fingerprints. The Livescans are a high-use device and parts wear out frequently. If maintenance and support is not obtained, replacement of the hardware and updates to the software will no longer be supported. The Gemalto Cogent Livescans provide the mechanism for the capture of fingerprints, photos and charge information as state and federally mandated for arrest reporting to the California Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. The maintenance and support agreement will provide 24/7 support and hardware replacement to keep the Livescans in working order.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Office of the Sheriff is not allowed to contract with Gemalto Cogent for the Livescan Maintenance and Support for the Livescan fingerprint capture stations, agencies in the county will experience extended downtime preventing officers from capturing the requisite fingerprint and arrest/booking data required by the state and federal mandates. This may lead to the release of wanted subjects from booking facilities because they have not been identified. Some subjects may be wanted for a more serious offense under another name. In addition, the lack of ability to identify an arrested subject may detain an individual that is not the person sought in a warrant or an investigation.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
