Department Approval <br />i�" ._ <br />� <br />Item Description: <br />l�'�, <br />Jy <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: October 19, 2009 <br />Item No.: 7.f <br />City Manager Approval <br />� � <br />Approve Law Enforcement Technology Group (LETG) <br />Software and Equipment License and Services Agreement <br />BACKGROUND <br />In June 2009, the Minnesota Office of Justice Programs (OJP) announced Requests for Proposals for <br />criminal justice systems improvement projects with available funding through the 2009 American <br />Recovery and Reinvestment (ARRA), Edward Syrne Memorial Justice Assistance grant (JAG) <br />program. This one-time (no match required funding) was available to local government agencies. The <br />Roseville Police Department submitted an RFP for a replacement records management system (RMS) <br />and wireless report writing (WRW) system. <br />The Roseville Police Department was notified that it had been awarded the grant in the amount of <br />$400,032 in September of 2009. Council approved acceptance of the grant funding September 28, 2009. <br />The Roseville Police Department had been approached by vendors who sell mobile, RMS, and field <br />reporting packages, but price, due to budget restrictions, was the caveat to purchasing a system that <br />fully suited and met public safety needs. Funding available through the Recovery Act provided the <br />opportunity for this agency to seek funding to purchase an innovative and comprehensive solution to <br />enhance public safety services and protect the community. <br />Founded in 2002, Law Enforcement Technology Group (LETG) contracts with more than 100 agencies <br />throughout Minnesota and Iowa. LETG offers a package at a price within the terms of the grant that <br />provides the tools and solutions required by this department. LETG's package interfaces and integrates <br />with MNCIS E-Citations, CJRS and CJIS. The system is also CISRS/NISRS compliant. LETG is the <br />RMS/WRW vendor selected by the State of Minnesota to provide expertise in the design and feasibility <br />of pending public safety programs. <br />The comprehensive mobile, RMS, and field reporting package as quoted by LETG offers the full <br />complement of services not delivered by our current contractor. Implementation of LETG's package <br />would allow the Department enhanced operational capabilities and effectiveness through field-based <br />reporting and automated ticket writing providing greater efficiencies and response capabilities in <br />conjunction with LETG's comprehensive, web-based RMS. The entire suite of products and services <br />offers a direct benefit to the department and the community. <br />Page 1 of 20 <br />
