APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF FOUR MOBILE DATA

CARS UTILIZINGTHE VEHICLE THEFT ACCOUNT
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WHEREAS, the Lodi Police Department is currently using outdated and
unreliable mobile digital computers that are nearly seven years old; and
WHEREAS, the Police Department has been unable to accept software
upgrades from its vendor, Data 911, because current hardware is slow and does not
contain enough storage; and
WHEREAS, in addition, the Police Department has been unable to accept new
technology offered by the San Joaquin County RAN Board that would allow officers
instant suspect identification from their patrol vehicles via mobile fingerprint scanners:
and
WHEREAS, the use of mobile digital cornpulers assists patrol officers in the
identification of stolen vehicles by allowing them instant access to the Department of
Justice Stolen Vehicle System. The mobile fingerprint scanners would be attached to
the computers and suspects would be identified at the scene, preventing suspects from
possibly being released.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby
approves the purchase of four mobile digital computers for newly purchased patrol
vehicles from Data 911, of Alameda, California, in the amount of $24,936.37 from the
Vehicle Theft Account.
