ATTACHMENT A 2011-DJ-BX-2532 When processing an arrestee, the suspect's cellular phone often contains valuable information that the officer can use to help him/her work the case. It is necessary to have cellular coverage for the suspect's service provider while in the jail. Law Enforcement - Terrorism Preparedness In the case of a terrorist threat or attack, the department's EOC may be activated. It is imperative that all persons in the EOC have good cellular coverage during the activation so that they can communicate as needed and gather the vital information needed during the event. Program Planning, Evaluation, and Technology - Communications Backup conununications are critical for a police department organization. This became even more evident in late May of 2011 when all radio communication was lost. Having cellular coverage for all persons within the police facility, and especially dispatchers, is critical during an outage such as this. Program Planning, Evaluation, and Technology - System Improvements The Buena Park Police Department needs to improve upon the cellular coverage system currently in place at the police facility - that being that only the Sprint network works within the building. The JAG program funds will be used to install additional equipment and testing so as to provide cellular coverage for all major service providers within the Buena Park Police Department facility. Budget and Budget Narrative: Outline how JAG funds will be used to support and implement the program. Include a breakdown of costs (i.e. Personnel, Training/Travel, Equipment, Supplies, Consultants/Contracts, & an Other category) We have requested and received preliminary price quotes for the parts (antennas, BDA, repeaters), installation, and testing. The quotes received indicate the costs of this project are approximately $25,000. All of the 2011 JAG program funds allocated will be spent on the one-time purchase of the needed equipment, installation, and testing. The equipment should last for the life of the building. There should be no future expenditures needed in order to maintain this equipment. Any amount possibly needed over the amount allocated by the 2011 JAG program funds will be covered by the Buena Park Police Department. Timeline and/or project plan: Identify when the goals and objectives will be completed The project goals and objectives will be implemented immediately upon approval for the JAG program funds and Buena Park City Council approval to utilize the JAG program funds for the expenditures as described. Funding: Total Allocation: $24,984 PROACT Contribution: (0%) $0 Administrative Fee (9%): $2,249 Funds Retained by City/County: $22,735 2011-DJ-BX-2532 Page 10 of 38 20A-18
