Program Need: <br />Tukwila Evidence Program Upgrade: The police Department's evidence software that is <br />used for tracking of evidentiary items is antiquated and not practical for current <br />case/evidence loads. A new system is required to provide for proper tracking and <br />adherence to state and federal laws. <br />Tukwila Neighborhood Resource Center Workstations: The Police Department has <br />recently obtained support from the City to hire new bike officer positions that would <br />allow for the creation of pro -active team that will be assigned to a high crime area of the <br />city. The positions are being given a storefront location within the targeted area, but <br />workstations are needed for the new positions. Additionally, the location will be used by <br />other officers providing in -field work space. <br />Crime Analysis Plotter: The current Department's Crime Analyst plotter is defective and <br />incompatible with the associated operating system. Replacement of the plotter will allow <br />for analysis and presentation of analytical work. With the addition of the department's <br />Crime Analyst being included with our emergency management team, the added <br />responsibilities require the use of a compatible plotter. <br />Crisis Communication Unit Equipment: The Department's Crisis Communication Unit is <br />responsible for handling in -field operational communications for conducting a variety of <br />crisis cornmunications (i.e, hostage negotiation, barricaded subject negotiation, suicidal <br />subject talks, etc...). The unit can increase its communication fluidity and improve its <br />operations with the use of tablets in the field by having immediate access to information <br />and the ability to share that information instantaneously across multiple platforms. <br />Supplemental to the tablets, are work portfolios for aiding with interviewing, note taking, <br />and storage of documents while in the field. Additionally, the Crisis Communicators <br />need to be identified with apparel associated with their assignment while in the field. <br />Incident Command Vehicle Electronics Upgrade: In order to maintain the efficiency of <br />the two-way radios assigned to the Department's mobile Incident Command vehicle, and <br />in order to meet new standards being implemented by our regional dispatch center, the <br />radios will require a re-prograrmning of their internal operations in order to be compliant <br />with regional changes to the dispatch system. <br />PD Administrative Office Conferencing: The Police Department's administrative office <br />conference room is used for meeting with city, department staff, citizens, and partnering <br />agencies. Often the need to include partners via phone is required. A conferencing <br />system designed to facilitate a meeting between partners at multiple locations will <br />improve productivity and the quality of communications of all partners involved. <br />Program Activities for 4 -Year Grant Period: <br />Tukwila Evidence Program Upgrade: The program will purchase, install, and maintain <br />evidence software for continued and enhanced tracking of department items entered into <br />evidence for the duration of the 4 -year grant period. <br />FY 2012 JAG Program Narrative <br />
