RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the agreement with
Northrop Grumman Public Safety, Inc. to provide basic software maintenance
and support for patrol officers' laptop computers in an amount not to
exceed $52,000.
DISCUSSION
In 1997, the Police Department was awarded a federal "COPS MORE" grant to
purchase laptop computers for patrol officers. The Northrop Grumman Public
Safety, Inc. (PSI) automated field reporting software enables these
computers to link with the Police Department's Computer Aided Dispatch
(CAD) system. This link permits the laptops to send and receive messages,
calls for service, emergency traffic, and information regarding wants and
warrants. Addi tionally, the software allows officers to complete their
police reports on their laptops while still in the field. The PSI software
is proprietary and can only be serviced by Northrop Grumman. The one-year
service renewal agreement will provide maintenance, upgrades, and support
for the software.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the
Contractual Services account
Police Department's Computer
(account no. 011-338-6291).
