POLICE DEPARTMENT
CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION (CSI) VEHICLE PURCHASE
SUMMARY
In September 2000, the City of Tustin Police Department received $123,610.00 in grant
funding from the State of California for use to purchase high-technology equipment.
These funds were deposited into revenue account 01-000-3881 and have accrued
interest in the amount of $7,540.00. Total available funds are therefore currently
$131,150.00. The Police Department is prepared to expend these 'funds at this time.
RECOMMENDATION
.
,
Authorize the Police Department to enter into a contract with The Mattman
Company--Specialty Vehicles Division for the purchase 'of a Crime Scene
Investigations Vehicle at a cost of $108,388.00.
Authorize the Police Department to purchase speCialized equiPment for this
vehicle not to exceed the remaining $22,762.00 of the grant funds. The
specialized equipment will be used for the collection, storage, identification,
preservation and examination of evidence from crime scenes collected by
technicians assigned to conduct CSI' for the Department.
FISCAL IMPACT
$131,150.00 Grant Fund expenditure.
BACKGROUND
The State of California Budget Act of 2001 established a $30 million one-time funding to
local law enforcement agencies for the purchase of high-technology equipment. Each
law enforcement agency in the state was eligible to receive a minimum grant of
$30,000.00. The Tustin Police department applied for and received a grant funding in
the amount of $123,610.00. Interest earnings since receiving these funds have
increased this total to $131,150.00.

The Budget Act of 2001 required that each participating agency report no later than
August 15, 2001, what the grant funds have been spent to purchase or to declare what
those funds will be used to purchase. On August 14, 2001, the Tustin Police
Department notified the State Department of Finance that the grant funds provided to
the City of Tustin Police Department were to be used to purchase a high-tech crime
scene investigation vehicle and equipment for the vehicle. We are now obligated to
spend the funds in this manner.
With the advent of DNA profiling, it has become critical that the collection, preservation,
and testing of DNA and accurate reporting of the results, are of the utmost importance
in criminal cases. Purchasing a specialized CSI Vehicle and equipping it with the latest
equipment will help in the prosecution of the guilty and the exoneration of the innocent.
In addition to proving the ability to conduct high-technology evidence collection and
preservation, this vehicle will also be equipped to provide more traditional CS! services
including fingerprinting collection, physical evidence collection, and photographic
documentation of crime scenes.
We currently do not have the capability to conduct our own extensive crime scene
investigations and we must rely on the availability of technicians and equipment from
other agencies. This equipment will allow us to be more self-sufficient and provide for a
greater level of service to our community. It is also known that the County of Orange is
looking to implement cost recovery for their CSI services, which is our only current
source of CSI for significant criminal investigations. Being able to provide these
services on our own will therefore also eventually result in significant cost savings by
reducing the dependence on an outside agency for this service.
Attached is a proposal from The Mattman Company to provide a state of the art, Crime
Scene/Mobile Laboratory Vehicle. It is recommended that the City enter into a contract
to have Mattman provide the CSI vehicle for several reasons as follows:
In 1998, the Police Department was authorized by Council to purchase a Mobile
Command Post/Substation. At that time we discovered that The Mattman was a
premier provider of these types of specialized police vehicles, had considerable
experience in the field, and was local to the area. Additionally, they were willing to
customize the vehicle and allow for modifications during the actual construction of the
vehicle. We will be able to inspect the vehicle as it is constructed and make proposals
for minor modifications as deemed necessary at no additional expense.

Since taking delivery of the Mobile Command Post (known as our Community
Response Vehicle), the Department has received awards for the design and quality of
the vehicle when it has been displayed for comparison with similar vehicles from other
agencies.
The terms and conditions of the State Grant that provided for the funding for high-
technology purchases mandates that the monies be expended by December 31, 2001.
Because of the timelines facing, the agency, it is impractical to solicit bids from other
possible vendors when we know that there are few other vendors of this type of
specialty equipment and none that are local. If a contract is not established with The
Mattman Company at this time, we are likely to lose the funding.
