| TO: | City of New Port Richey City Council | | FROM: | Kim Bogart, Chief of Police | | DATE: | 6/6/2017 | | RE: | Request to Purchase Mobile Fingerprint Identification Devices |
REQUEST:
I respectfully request Council authorize the purchase of three (3) FDLE Falcon Specific Rapid Identification Devices from MOSA Technology Solutions at a total cost of $7,187.00.
DISCUSSION:
Our police officers routinely encounter individuals that provide false names to avoid arrest. During these encounters, which can only be for brief periods of time, it is critical that identification be made in a timely manner. Rapid Identification Devices (fingerprint readers) will provide almost immediate identification of any individual who has been previously arrested or fingerprinted for whatever reason.
I am recommending the purchase of three (3) FDLE Falcon Specific Rapid ID devices from MOSA Technological Solutions – 3801 PGA Boulevard, Ste. 600, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410-2756. The purchase price includes: the mobile devices, software, one-year maintenance, officer training and installation.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend the purchase of purchase of three (3) FDLE Falcon Specific Rapid Identification Devices from MOSA Technology Solutions at a total cost of $7,187.00.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
If approved, these items will be purchased using a $2,000 donation received from the New Port Richey Elks Lodge #2284, a $3,000 donation from a person that wishes to remain anonymous, and the remaining $2,187.00 balance will be paid from existing forfeiture funds. Therefore, there is no direct impact to the Department’s F/Y 2016/2017 Budget.
