Title
SHERIFF - AUTHORIZE AGREEMENTS WITH THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND CITY OF SAN DIEGO FOR CALIFORNIA IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM SUPPORT POSITIONS (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
The California Identification System/Remote Access Network (Cal-ID/RAN) is a statewide system that provides local law enforcement agencies with direct access to local, state, and federal automated fingerprint, palm print, photo systems and databases. This statewide system allows for the rapid identification of persons booked into detention facilities and latent prints lifted from crime scenes. The Sheriff's Department serves as San Diego County's Cal-ID/RAN administrator.
The San Diego County Cal-ID/RAN Board is a regional policy and advisory board responsible for making recommendations regarding the use of Cal-ID funds. The RAN Board has made funding recommendations since 2007 for a program to employ staff in crime laboratories across the region as part of the program to process latent prints effectively and efficiently in the region and identify suspects. To ensure a continued success of the program, there is a need to continue to provide funding for staff at the Chula Vista Police Department and San Diego Police Department crime laboratories.
Today's request seeks approval to authorize agreements between the County of San Diego by and through the San Diego Sheriff's Department and the cities of Chula Vista and San Diego to provide funding from the Sheriff Fingerprint ID Trust Fund to the cities annually for Cal-ID support positions. The agreements period is July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, with automatic annual renewals up to a maximum of four additional years through June 30, 2026.
