RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a Hardware and associated Software Agreement with 3M Cogent, Inc., in an amount not to exceed, $120,000 for the purchase of 75 BlueCheck II Mobile ID Devices.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County Cost. $120,000 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. One dollar from each vehicle registered to an address within the County is used to fund programs that enhance the capacity of local law enforcement to provide automated mobile and fixed location fingerprint identification of individuals involved in motor vehicle crimes.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The DOJ 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 County acts as the local RAN board to determine 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, additional mobile fingerprint devices and associated on-board software will be purchased so that local law enforcement agencies can connect to the Cal-ID system while in the field. The 3M Cogent Inc., Mobile Identification (Mobile ID) solution provides a system that manages the transactions of mobile fingerprint captures from the field. The system manages searches of the local Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) as well as the California Department of Justices’ (Cal-DOJ) AFIS and Federal Bureau of Investigations’ (FBI) Repository for Individuals of Special Concern (RISC) databases. The BlueCheck mobile identification devices and on-board software bring the power of a full-scale AFIS to officers’ hands while in the field for all agencies within Contra Costa, to provide fast, accurate identity verification, arrest records, and warrant information on subjects contacted in the field.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Office of the Sheriff is not allowed to contract with 3M Cogent Inc., for the additional seventy-five (75) Mobile ID BlueCheck device, many officers will not have access to quick, accurate and up to date information on subjects while out in the field. The additional devices will equip more vehicles that the current number of devices do not cover. This may lead to the release of subjects in the field that should be put into custody.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
