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 Mayor Bernstein appointed an ad hoc committee consisting of Mayor Pro Tem Clark and Councilmember Cooper to interview the Public Art Committee candidates and make a recommendation to the full City Council. City Council March 17, 2020 Meeting Agenda Page 6 of 7 Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council appoint Janet Lomax to serve a four-year term on the Public Art Committee.
