The Northrop Grumman Public <br />Safety, Inc. (PSI) automated field reporting software installed in the <br />laptops enables the computers to link with the Police Department's Computer <br />Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. This link permits the laptops to send and <br />receive messages, calls for service, emergency traffic, and information <br />regarding wants and warrants. Additionally, the software allows officers <br />to complete their police reports on their laptops while still in the field. <br />The PSI software is proprietary and can only be serviced by Northrop <br />Grumman. The one-year service agreement amendment will provide <br />maintenance, upgrades, and support for the software. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />Funds are available in the Police Department's Computer Systems Other <br />Contractual Services account (account no. 011-338-6291). <br /> <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br /> <br />g~\--~ <br /> <br />Paul M.
