I. RECOMMENDATION:
The police chief recommends moving the police department from Sunridge RIMS CAD/ RMS system to the Mark 43 CAD/RMS System.
II. BACKGROUND:
In 2018, the police department moved from the Fresno County's Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management Systems (RMS) the Sunridge CAD/RMS system. This was done to help track cannibas company's and their employees. The cost for the new system is being funded by permit fees from the cannibas companies.
III. DISCUSSION:
In 2018 the police department stopped its CAD and RMS service with the Fresno County Sheriff's Department and went with the Sunridge Corporation RIMS system as well as its on connection to the California Department of Justice.
The former chief of police recommended the department move to RIMS system because it had a component which allowed the police department to track the new cannibas company's and their employees coming into town.
With these changes the police department lost its connection to the sheriff department's data base where we could gain access to the departments archive data as well as information that was occurring throughout the county in which officers were able to see what was going on in Fresno County for officer safety reasons and incase an incident was going to impact the city of Coalinga.
The Cost of the Sunridge RIMS system is $58,141.00 a year plus and additional 11,000.00 year for the departments connection to DOJ every year. For a total of 69,141.00.
The Department would like to move to the Mark 43 CAD/RMS platform. Moving the department to this system, would allow the department to interact with all the agency's in Fresno County, and would allow the department to regain access to its old data that is stored with FSO. Parlier PD would make this change for the same reason. Comparing RIMS to Mark 43 both platforms are similar to one another in functionality and program capabilities.
The start up cost for Mark 43 is $68,332.00 and $58.708.00 for the next five years at which rime the contract would be paid in full. With this program funded by licensing and permit fees from the cannibas company's and the department to regain the connection to FSO and their database and police department would use FSO's connection to DOJ. The cost to move to Mark 43 would save the city $809.00 the first year and $10,433.00 each year thereafter.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Stay with the current CAD and RMS system.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
By changing to Mark 43 the City would have see a savings of $809.00 the first year and $10,433.00 there after.. |
