(ALL) Authorize Execution of a Sole Source Agreement with Peregrine Technologies, Inc. for Real-Time Crime Center Law Enforcement Data Integration Software in the Amount of $490,000.00 for the First Year with Four One-Year Renewal Options for the Police Department

Summary

The City Council is asked to authorize a sole-source agreement with Peregrine Technologies, Inc. for law enforcement data integration software. This software, intended for the Police Department's Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC), will allow officers to search multiple data sources simultaneously in real-time, significantly improving efficiency in investigations. Currently, officers must manually search separate systems like CAD, RMS, Axon Evidence.com, and Flock ALPR, which can take hours or days. Peregrine's proprietary platform integrates these systems, enabling faster compilation of information crucial for active incidents. The agreement is for $490,000.00 for the first year, with four one-year renewal options that include a 3% annual increase. Funding is contingent upon the award of a Fiscal Year 2025 Homeland Security Grant Program Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant.

Citizen Impact

This technology aims to improve police response times and investigative efficiency by allowing officers to access and analyze data from various sources more quickly. This could lead to faster resolution of incidents and potentially more effective crime reduction strategies.
