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 the patrol vehicle computers to link with the Police Department's Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. This link permits the computers to send and receive messages, calls for service, emergency traffic, and information regarding wants and warrants. Additionally, the software allows officers to complete their police reports on their vehicle computers while still in the field. The PSI software is proprietary and can only be serviced by Northrop Grumman. The one-year service agreement amendment will provide maintenance, upgrades, and support for the software. FISCAL IMPACT Funds are available in the Police Department's Computer Systems fund (account no. 11-338-6291). Paul M.
