SUBJECT ADOPTION OF APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE FOR THE PURCHASE OF COMPUTER
EQUIPMENT FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Adopt the attached appropriations ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Special Trust Fund by 543,600 for the purchase of computer
equipment, and
2 Approve the use of 543,600 for the purchase of computer equipment for the Police

DISCUSSION
The Police Department, at a recent staff meeting, looked at a software program that will greatly
enhance the investigative capabilities of the department This software searches databases such..
as the Motor Vehicle License Database, Texas Driver's License Database, Tarrant and Dallas
County Appraisal District Database and the Dallas County Criminal Database Currently the
department does not have the capability to search these databases and they are of great value
to detectives in developing leads and locating suspects This program is available through
Compact Data Solutions and the purchase of three units would greatly enhance the department's
ability to solve criminal offenses In testing the effectiveness of this program, personnel in the
department have been able to reopen cases and provide possible suspects thereby proceeding
with otherwise stagnant criminal cases
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that upon approval of the attached appropriations
ordinance, the funds required for this expenditure will be available in the current operating budget
of the Special Trust Fund
