CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA ITEM
C-8
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing Cellebrite Training and Appropriate Funds ($8,000)
MEETING DATE: January 16, 2019
PREPARED BY: Police Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing Cellebrite training and appropriate
funds in the amount of $8,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: It is important for the police staff to be trained and outfitted with the
most current technology to combat crime. The department has the
chance to send one of our officers to Cellebrite training. Cellebrite
is the leading training provider for cell phone forensics training for law enforcement, military, intelligence
and private sector practitioners around the world. The classes are designed to teach students core
mobile forensics concepts and how to conduct cell phone data extractions.
It is appropriate for the department to use asset seizure funds for the cost of the training and incidental
costs because the training will directly benefit the Special Investigations Unit (SIU). SIU works all of the
cases involving asset seizure which will fund the training. Asset Seizure Funds are received from the
County after a case involving seized assets is tried and a conviction is made. All asset forfeiture money
must be spent on police training, activities, or equipment. We are requesting the appropriation of $8,000
from asset seizure funds to pay for this training; this would free the department's general fund
budgeted training money to pay for more generalized training.
FISCAL IMPACT: Appropriate funds from the Asset Seizure Fund.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Asset Seizure Fund $8,000.00 (21099000.77020 - Expense)
