Agreement and AA for Pen -Link System <br />March 1, 2016 <br />Page 2 <br />Pen -Link PLX utilizes a Rimage system that eliminates the need for the jukebox that is currently <br />used by the current system to house the evidence DVDs. The investigative tool incorporated into <br />the Pen -Link PLX system allows for investigative analysis of individuals, groups and phone <br />numbers at any workstation. This tool allows for link analysis for targets that could assist any <br />investigation with actionable information or leads. The current system only allows for statistical <br />analysis and filtered searches and is not formulated to accommodate extensive inquiries. <br />Pen -Link PLX has a separate server for IP addresses which would allow live interception of <br />communication over the internet (i.e. Facebook messages, Twitter, Viber, etc.). Pen -Link PLX <br />allows for internet access at each workstation terminal for open source internet checks and <br />research, a feature that is not available with the current system. Any research relevant to a call <br />intercepted with the current system must be done on a secondary device (laptop) and then <br />referenced on the respective call session notes. Pen -Link PLX allows for remote access use by <br />outside agencies via a web link, which would allow the outside agency to remotely access the <br />system and monitor telecommunication. <br />The cost of the Pen -Link system is $150,000, which will be reimbursed by the FBI. The Santa <br />Ana Police Department will be responsible for the system maintenance costs, which is further <br />outlined in the agreement (Exhibit 2). The first year's maintenance costs will be covered by the <br />purchase of the system. The following three years will be covered by the Santa Ana Police <br />Department. The maintenance costs for years 2 -4 will be $24,800, $26,040, and $27,342, <br />respectively, for a three -year total of $78,182. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal # 1 - Community Safety, Objective <br />#5, (provide high quality Police and Fire /Emergency Medical Services response within the City of <br />Santa Ana). <br />20B -2 <br />
