RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a purchase order with Cellebrite Inc. in the amount of $49,134 for the purchase of mobile forensic hardware, software, training, and support for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$49,134.15, Sheriff Budgeted.

BACKGROUND:

Established in 2007, Cellebrite Mobile Forensics produces software and hardware for mobile forensics purposes used by federal, state, and local law enforcement; intelligence agencies; military branches; corporate security and investigations; law firms; and private digital forensic examiners in more than 60 countries. The Sheriff's Office has utilized the Cellebrite services for over 10 years. As society becomes more and more digitally based, it has become necessary for the Sheriff's Office to search cell phones and other electronic devices for evidence to support prosecution of criminal cases.





BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Cellebrite terms and conditions accompanying the hardware and software require County to indemnify and hold Cellebrite harmless from any claim arising from any use of the software in a manner that violates any third party’s rights.  
  
A purchase order is being used for this transaction instead of a contract because Cellebrite will only permit the purchase of its software and services if its terms and conditions govern the purchase in connection with the issuance of a purchase order.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A negative action by the Board would result in the Sheriff's Office not being able to extract data from electronic devices or provide critical evidence in an efficient manner.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
