SUBJECT MUG SHOT SYSTEM FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the attached appropriations ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Special Trust Fund by $68,845.60 from increased revenue in
Awarded Assets, and
2. Approve the use of $68,845.60 from the Special Trust Fund by the Police Department
to purchase a digital mug shot system.
DISCUSSION:
Approximately nine months ago the Tarrant County Sheriff's Department discontinued
taking photographs of prisoners and implemented a digital system. The digital system
utilizes a video camera and stores the image of the prisoner on their mainframe
computer system. The County has a color printer and provides copies to the Police
Department per the current jail contract.
The County has made it possible for direct access to the mug shot images on their
computer system, which would allow greater availability of images and'the capability
of making multiple copies. The computer system also allows access at the Field
Operations Division Headquarters, making it unnecessary for detectives to drive
downtown to obtain pictures of suspects. The County system also allows the assemblage
of a photographic "line-up" on the computer screen, and the printing of the item after
all of the suspects included are acceptable to the detective.
Due to the large file sizes resulting from graphic images, the mug shot system requires
a fast computer system with a large storage capacity. A total of six (6) workstations
will be purchased, with each workstation costing $8,520.29, including hardware and
software. Each workstation includes a color thermal printer, for the production of
individual pictures and picture "line-ups", and a laser printer for creation of black
and white images (when color is not required) and the ;production of text files. Four
(4) workstations will be placed at each of the Field Operations Division headquarters,
one (1) will be located in the Special Services Bureau, and .one (1) at the
Identification Section. The latter workstation will also include .a video camera .and
related hardware and software for taking pictures of arrested persons and placing the
image on the computer system. Three (3) mainf.wame printers, for production of offense
,report copies_,~are also included in this system.

.All items except;tyhe color thermal printers and two software items-are included on the
recently approved annual agreement for microcomputer hardware and software. Cost
estmatesEion the remaining items have been provided by the County and bids will be
solicited for these objects. After bids have been received,,,an~M&C will be submitted
:_author.zing'the purchase of the equipment from the selected vendor.
