A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE PURCHASE OF NEW DIGITAL NOTEBOOK
COMPUTERIZED VOICE STRESS ANALYZER (CVSA) FOR THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code, §3.20.070, authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchases of supplies, services or equipment when it is in the best interest of the City to do
so; and
WHEREAS, the Police Department's present analog CVSA instrument was purchased
in 1995 at a cost of $7100.00, and has become outdated and will be difficult to repair in the
future; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends purchasing a new digital Toshiba Notebook CVSA
computer from National Institute for Truth Verification at a cost of $9,250.00, less a $3,700.00
trade-in for the City's present CVSA instrument; and
WHEREAS, the digital Toshiba Notebook CVSA computer has several advantages:
laptop size and therefore 10' the size and weight of the analog model, analyzes charts for
deception, removing some of the human subjectivity in "calling" charts, chart paper is no
longer needed because it utilizes standard copy paper. CVSA formats for questions and
narrative report formats are included in the software contained in the computer. Questions
and charts can be retained on floppy disks if needed for storage or to be sent for further
analysis by their experts.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby approves
the purchase of a new digital Toshiba Notebook CVSA computer from National Institute for
Truth Verification in the amount of $6,000.00.
