NEW BUSINESS
Bid Award - Digital Booking Identification System - Police Chief Bueermann
reported on December 5, 2000, the Redlands Police Department joined with the
San Bernardino County Sheriffs Department to choose a county-wide inmate
digital imaging identification system. This system would replace outdated film
and paper based systems employed throughout the county with a digital system
that would allow for the instantaneous inter-agency sharing of booking
information. The system also includes valuable investigative modules such as
computerized photo line-ups and facial recognition. A copy of the requests for
proposals and final evaluation scoring will be on file with the City Purchasing
Department. The Police Department budgeted for this project as part of the
C-CAP State of the Art Grant. Councilmember Peppler moved to award the bid
for the purchase of the digital booking identification system for the Redlands
Police Department to ImageWare Systems, Inc. in an amount not to exceed
$48,577.00. Motion seconded by Councilmember Harrison and carried
unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING

screen. Mayor Haws suggested the total amount available for construction.
