RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a Software and Services Agreement Amendment with Gemalto Cogent Inc., formerly known as 3M Cogent Inc., to change the contractor name from 3M Cogent Inc. to Gemalto Cogent, Inc., with no change in the term or payment limit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no additional fiscal impact from this action.

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 funds 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 mobile 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, additional mobile fingerprint devices, software, implementation services, and software support will be purchased so that local law enforcement agencies can connect to the Cal-ID system while in the field.

The Cogent Gemalto Mobile Identification (Mobile ID) solution provides a system that manages the transactions of mobile fingerprint captures from the field. The system will manage 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 mobile identification devices and 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 change the contractor name, the the County will not be in contract with the correct legal entity.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
