Thayer, Chief of Police Resolution in .Support of the Remote Access Network - CAL-ID Recommendation That Council approve the resolution in support of CAL-ID and support of the city's share of its cost in the system. Background Until recently, fingerprints could be used to solve crimes if the police already knew the name of the suspect before doing a fingerprint match. Law enforcement now has'the availability of a computer that stores fingerprint information, and allows a remarkably high speed comparison to crime scene prints or prisoner fingerprints. Local availability of this statewide system is now available through the Remote Access Network of the California Identification System (CAL-ID). This system is described in the informational booklet provided entitled CAL-ID in Orange County.. What will the system mean to law enforcement in Orange County? It will permit our police department to run unlimited searches against a local data base of almost one-half million fingerprint cards. In Orange County, all fingerprint cards currently in the Sheriff's files and in the files of other county law enforcement agencies will be searchable against jail booking and fingerprints obtained from crime scenes. Past experience has shown that it can be expected that up 'to 18% of the crimes in Orange County where latent prints are recovered will now be solved. This will take more criminals off the street in a more timely fashion and will increase the amount of stolen property recovered since the suspects may be. located before they can fence any of the stolen property. By participating in the Orange County CAL-ID system, the City of Tustin is committing to pay an initial and ongoing cost based on our use of the system. The methodology for computation of this cost is explained in the informational booklet provided. It is anticipated that the City of Tustin's cost will be approximately $3,000 annually. I feel this is more than a fair and just cost to be borne by the city. The availability of this technological tool will be a great asset to the citizens of Tustin. Page 2 Resolution - CAL-ID 3/7/86 I recommend that the resolution in support of the Remote Access Network of CAL-ID be adopted. The monies necessary for this support will be budgeted for in Fiscal Year '86-'87 budget.
