DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana Police Department entered into a one-year maintenance
agreement with four one-year renewal options with Northrop Grumman Public
Safety Inc. (PSI) in September 2003 to provide maintenance services for
computer software and equipment for the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD)
system. The CAD is the primary data communication tool for exchanging
information between police dispatchers and patrol officers who provide
emergency response to our community. The ability to continue to provide
specialized maintenance on this system is critical to the overall
effectiveness of police service. PSI is the sole provider of these
services as they designed and implemented the CAD system.
