RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the agreement with Northrop
Grumman Public Safety, Inc. to provide software maintenance and support for
patrol vehicle computers in an amount not to exceed $46,011 for a one-year
term.
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)
