Recommendation
~e Co~ adopt a Resolufion'~ suppo~ of a $1.00 fee on verde re~afio~ ~ ~d
replacement ~d enh~eement of the e~ent C~-~ Automa~d F~ge~t Iden6fieafion

Fiscal Impact
The fee would r_~e appro~mately ten million dollars over its five-year life. Thi~ would offset
a potential cost to the City of Tus~n of $237,000.
Background
l C ~-} ~ the state-wide Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) which
represents a computer-based technology method to verify the identity of individuals during
booings, arrests, warrants, and John and Jane Does for Coroners and identi~es crime
suspects through latent prints recovered from crime scenes. Cai-II) began Operation in 1986
and in orange County there have been over 8,000 criminals idend~ed committing crimes.
Every 12 hours, another criminal is idend~ed based on their fingerprints left at a crime 'scene.
The Orange County system is a network of all California and the western United States.
The current generation of equipment is 15 years old. It is physically and technologically
obsolete. While the system has continued to meet the expectations of Orange County law
enforcement agencies since 1986, the automated fingerprint iden~6cation technology has
continued to advance. The new equipment is smaller, smarter, and boasts the capability to
automatically receive, search, and register new fingerprint cards taken from live-scan
electronic fingerprint devices. The live-scan devices replace the traditional and paper method
of capturing fingerprint det_~ls, and instead use an electronic digital camera to photograph

the fingerprint detail. This capacity will allow near instantaneous iden~6cafion of suspects
without the aid of a human operator. It will identify at least ten percent more criminalS by
6ngerprint traces left at crime scenes. It ~ also be used to speed the background check of
school employee applicants to insure that children are protected from those who would bring
them harm.
There are no funds to replace the current Cai-ID user system in Orange County. The Orange
County cities and county 'will be responsible for replacement 'of the system. Based on the
Users' Agreement adopted by each city and county, the cost. of the system is based on
population. Tustin with 2.37 percent of the population would be responsible for
approximately $237,000 of the total replacement cost.
The local Remote Access Network Board and the Chiefs, the' governing body for Orange
County Cai-ID, and the Chiefs' of Police and Sheriffs Association, the state Sheriff.% Police'
Chiefs, and District Attorneys, Sheriff Department members worked with state legislators to
adopt a bipartisan plan for the systematic replacement of Cai-ID equipment throughout
California. The collection of a dollar per registered vehicle will provide funding to replace the
current system, install live-scan capability in all. county law enforcement agencies and insure
placement of mobile iden~cation scanners in patrol vehicles. These actions will sig~i~canfly
protect the safety of our citizens and officers.
The Board of Supervisors asked for an indication that the cities felt a need for adoption of this
fee. Approval of this Resolution would provide' tangible signs of support for the Board of
'Supervisors addressing the critical need for the replacement of this system and the need to
find funding sources other than city general fund money.
