10. AUTHORIZATION TO APPROVE CAD/RMS CONTRACT
The Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management System (RMS) are
the main, mission -critical integrated workflow management systems that support
most of the City's public safety activities. These activities include patrol, dispatch,
mapping, records management, property/evidence management, criminal case
City Council March 17, 2020
Meeting Agenda Page 5 of 7
management and crime analysis. The CAD/RMS system is an essential tool for
efficient utilization of resources, effective management of tactical deployments,
enhanced community policing efforts and the catalyst for information sharing. Since
October of 1996, the Tustin Police Department has utilized a CAD/RMS system
provided by the West Covina Service Group. The demands placed on law
enforcement agencies are the greatest they have ever been in history, and a modern
CAD/RMS system is mandatory to maintain service and execution levels as expected
by the community we serve.
Over the past 24 years, technology has advanced significantly in the industry and our
dispatchers, records staff, police officers and IT staff have all noticed the steady
decline in functionality and reliability with the West Covina CAD/RMS system. The
system continually experiences interruptions in service, causing unnecessary delays
for employees and members of our community. The City of West Covina is
discontinuing its CAD/RMS services in the near future. As a result, our current
CAD/RMS system will not be supported by the City of West Covina and has required
us to begin a search for a new provider.
In addition to the issues we experience with functionality, the West Covina CAD/RMS
system does not provide a fully integrated option, like many of the new programs
offered today. The Tustin Police Department is one of the few agencies in the county
still physically hand writing crime and property reports. This causes an unnecessary
burden on our records personnel who have to manually enter information into the
computer and then scan the reports into Laserfiche. New technologically advanced
programs provide integrated report writing options, automated property and evidence
services, and case management tracking for our Criminal Investigations Unit.
The need for a new CAD/RMS system was identified many years ago and as a result,
a committee was developed to investigate options into replacing our current system.
Over the past two years, the committee conducted extensive research with the goal
of finding a fully integrated, single source option to handle CAD, RMS, property and
evidence, crime analysis and case management. After the Request for Proposal
(RFP) process and in-depth vendor interviews, the decision was narrowed down to
two vendors. At the conclusion of this lengthy process, the committee representing
all divisions within the department, unanimously recommended Mark43 as our
CAD/RMS service provider.
Recommendation: It is recommended the City Council approve and authorize the
City Manager to enter into a 10 -year contract with Mark43 to provide CAD/RMS
services to the Tustin Police Department as outlined in the contract
11. PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT
