Request for Council Action
Date: April 15, 2020
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Teri Ledoux, City Manager
By:Eric McBride, Acting Chief of Police
Subject: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Execution of an
Agreement with SB County for CAL-ID
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 2020-73 of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San
Bernardino, California, authorizing the execution of an agreement with the County of
San Bernardino for the implementation and operation of all Biometric Identification
Systems and DNA Services (San Bernardino CAL-ID).
Background
In 1985, the California Department of Justice (DOJ), created a statewide fingerprint
identification network known as CAL-ID. They divided the state into eight regions and
each network utilized an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) to provide
fingerprint identification services to law enforcement agencies in their jurisdictions.
Each CAL-ID program is governed by a board of directors comprised of various
figureheads from within each county.
In July 1986, the San Bernardino Police Department entered into an agreement with the
County of San Bernardino for the implementation, operation, and equipment costs
associated with the participation in a fingerprint processing system. In May 1990, an
upgrade adding subject identification via DNA processing and subject photography
(mug shot for visual identification) resulted from an agreement between the County of
San Bernardino and the County of Riverside to operate the CAL -ID System through the
Remote Access Network (RAN) Board. Since that time, the San Bernardino Police
Department has continually participated in the CAL-ID RAN System, along with other
cities within the counties of San Bernardino and Riverside.
Discussion
San Bernardino/Riverside CAL-ID RAN is a cost-effective identification system that
provides services in Latent Fingerprint Identification, Ten -print Identification, Mobile
Identification, and DNA casework. San Bernardino/Riverside CAL-ID RAN was the first
CAL-ID in California to have Mobile Identification search capabilities against the
California Department of Justice (DOJ) Automated Fingerprint Identification System
(AFIS). This allows for searches on “no hit” transactions against the fingerprint records
of anyone booked for a crime in the State of California.

In September 2010, the DOJ allowed CAL -ID RAN access to their applicant database.
With this access, we were able to search an additional 11.83 million fingerprints from
the state. Modifications made to Mobile Identification proved effective. Local searches
return in less than 45 seconds, compared to three minutes previously, and DOJ
searches have reduced from five to less than two minutes. FAST-ID, a desktop version
of Mobile Identification, provides officers at the station the ability to conduct a quick
search of a subject’s thumbprint against our local AFIS, both prior to booking and at the
time of release. This helps reduce the num ber of false names given at the time of
booking and minimizes errant releases.
In the near future, direct access will be available to CAL -DOJ’s AFIS, Las Vegas Metro
Police Department, the Western Identification Network (9 western states), and the FBI’s
Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. Using very advanced algorithms, these
systems search a latent print against a database of known fingerprints and provide
examiners a list of possible candidates to help in identifying criminal offenders .
The CAL-ID system is a routinely used investigative tool that aids the San Bernardino
Police Department in identifying suspects in criminal cases when latent fingerprints are
left at crime scenes; crimes that otherwise might go unsolved. Participation in the CA L-
ID RAN system is beneficial to the Department and citizens of San Bernardino.
2020-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The request to execute an agreement with the County of San Bernardino for the
implementation and operation of all Biometric Identifica tion Systems and DNA Services
aligns with Key Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life by constantly evaluating public
safety service delivery models to enhance the quality of service.
Fiscal Impact
City assessment fees are calculated on a per capita basis and are based on population
estimates published annually by the California Department of Finance. The per capita
assessment fee for FY 2020/21 is $1.18. The total assessment fee for participation in
CAL-ID RAN for FY 2020/21 is $258,694.94. Future years will be based on population
estimates at the time of assessment.
The financial impact to the City is $258,694.94. There is sufficient funding in the
proposed FY 2020/21 Adopted Budget in account number 001-210-0001-5502.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution No. 2020-73, authorizing the execution of an agreement
with the County of San Bernardino for implementation and operation of all Biometric
Identification Systems and DNA Services (San Bernardino CAL-ID).
