'- CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Staff Report Subiect Resolutions of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the purchase of a "Crime View Enterprise" police tactical mapping solution from The Omega Group located in San Diego, CA. and the purchase of supporting computer server hardware from Zunesis, Inc. of Centennial, Colorado. Backl!:round Early in 1999 the Police Department purchased six copies of police tactical mapping product called CrimeView from The Omega Group of San Diego California. The Police Department wanted to provide tactical crime mapping at each of our remote district offices. The small project was not successful because of the inadequate network connections to each field district office and the inexperience our IT staff had with Oracle databases. Since that time all of our field district offices have had network connectivity upgrades and our Public Safety IT analysts have become certified in the operation of Oracle relational databases. Recently, at the request of Police Chief Michael A. Billdt, our Public Safety IT staff re-evaluated the possibility of successfully deploying a tactical police mapping solution to support our need for near-real-time crime mapping data to support the Police Department's district crime reduction model. The Police Department's goal of efficiently deploying personnel and responding to crime trends and patterns requires that police officers be provided with as near- real-time crime data as possible (no more than 24 hours old). ........r"~ The CrimeView product continues to be the leading tactical police crime mapping solution on the market today. In discussions with The Omega Group, they agreed to allow the Police Department to upgrade their expired CrimeView product licenses for a discounted price (approximately 50%) so that we can deploy a department-wide web based tactical mapping solution. The proposed CrimeView Enterprise System will provide officers, supervisors, and command staff with three essential crime-mapping tools: 1. Web Based Tactical Mapping - This web based tactical mapping tool will allow police officers and support personnel to look at near-real-time crime maps. Specific attention will be placed on providing patrol officers with near-real-time crime maps of their assigned beats on their existing Mobile Data Computers (MDC). This visual presentation in the field will enable officers to have a summary of recent criminal activity on their assigned patrol beats. Detectives, parolee coordinators, support personnel and supervisors will be able to access crime data at the beat, district, and city levels both from desktop computers and MDC's. 2. Web Based "Dashboard" Statistical Snapshot - This unique "dashboard" statistical snapshot is a customizable tool that allows district commanders and the command staff to see a small "snapshot" of important crime statistics and mapping data on the bottom of their desktop computers at all times. Each workday district commanders .,- '- /-- 7-CJf P,ep~,.""p"t ~y ;r)p, 'J.B -- will be able to see changes in some of the statistical data for their districts. Likewise, the command staff will be able to see similar data at the "citywide" level. Police managers will not need to configure this tool. The Police Department's IT team can configure district and city views that can be refreshed with updated data with "a single mouse button click." 3. Upgraded CrimeVrew Desktop Application - The upgrade will provide the Police Department with a current version of the master CrimeView software package that controls web based mapping and snapshot presentations. The purchase of CrimeView Enterprise System and necessary support computer equipment are approved items in the Police Department's FY 2005 COPS Technology Grant from the US Department of Justice. DOJ has authorized the purchase from The Omega Group for the CrimeView Enterprise System for $99,240.000, as well as a separate purchase of computer hardware for the system. Because the CrimeView Enterprise System is under $100,000.00 sole source approval for the CrimeView is not required by DOJ. $30,000.00 in FY 2005 COPS Technology grant funding will used for a separate purchase of three computer servers needed to host the web based mapping application, the software database, the snapshot module, and the necessary server hardware tools (rack, keyboards, and monitor) to operate the servers. The server hardware is being purchased on the State of California portion of the Western States Contract Alliance (WSCA) contract (an annual computer hardware bidding process accepted by the US DOJ). The WSCA bidding process assigns vendors to the purchasing process. Zunesis, Incorporated of Centennial, Colorado is the assigned vendor for HP Public Sector servers. These _ servers were selected for their compatibility with the CrimeView Enterprise software suite, their dependability and their successful tract record with other City of San Bernardino technology projects. In an attempt to use a local vendor, the IT and Police Departments worked with Imagine Systems, of San Bernardino, to purchase the hardware from a local vendor. HP Public Sector Sales refused to allow Imagine Systems to sell the necessary hardware at the WSCA discounted competitive bid contract pricing. In comparing the pricing for the server hardware, the WSCA pricing was over $1,700.00 (5.7%) lower than the discounted pricing from Imagine Systems. Financial Imoact A total of $129,240.00 from the 2005 COPS Technology Grant will be used for these purchases. There is no match requirement or impact to the General Fund.
