The Northrop Grumman Public <br />Safety, Inc. (PSI) automated field reporting software enables these <br />computers to link with the Police Department's Computer Aided Dispatch <br />(CAD) system. This link permits the laptops to send and receive messages, <br />calls for service, emergency traffic, and information regarding wants and <br />warrants. Addi tionally, the software allows officers to complete their <br />police reports on their laptops while still in the field. The PSI software <br />is proprietary and can only be serviced by Northrop Grumman. The one-year <br />service renewal agreement will provide maintenance, upgrades, and support <br />for the software. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />Funds are available in the <br />Contractual Services account <br /> <br />Police Department's Computer <br />(account no. 011-338-6291). <br /> <br />Systems <br /> <br />Other <br /> <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br /> <br />~2~~ ~. <br /> <br />-l~~\' '\. ~ ~, ~-\- LJ - <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Mgmt.
