Background
In June 2009, Sacramento County executed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Auburn Police Department, Citrus Heights Police Department, City of Roseville Police Department, Elk Grove Police Department, Folsom Police Department, Galt Police Department, Lincoln Police Department, Placer County Sheriff's Department, City and County of Sacramento Police and Sheriff's Departments, and Yolo County Sheriff's Department. A First Amendment added the West Sacramento Police Department in 2011. In June 2012, a Second Amendment was executed to add the Winters Police Department. In November 2012, a Third Amendment added the Sacramento County Probation Department. A Fourth Amendment began in November 2013 to add the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office, Placerville Police Department, South Lake Tahoe Police Department, and now will include the El Dorado County Probation Department.
Prior to Sacramento County's execution of a contract with Knowledge Computing Corporation for the Coplink system, information sharing between disparate Record Management Systems (RMS) was very problematic. Sacramento County, through the use of Homeland Security funds acquired the Coplink System, and an initial MOU was developed to set forth the terms and conditions of this partnership between local law enforcement agencies to share the resource and its costs. El Dorado County Sheriff and other local law enforcement agencies are already participating and El Dorado County Probation is requesting to participate in this consortium to benefit from the sharing of vital resources within the law enforcement communities.
Reason for Recommendation
Adoption of this MOU will allow the El Dorado County Probation Department to share criminal investigation information with Sacramento County and various other agencies for the mutual benefit of all jurisdictions. The Homeland Security Grant council voted to fund the Coplink project and have plans to continue to fund on-going costs as funds become available from the State of California. The funding announcement for the Homeland Security Grant 2014 will take place in the 3rd Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013/2014.
