BACKGROUND The City entered an agreement with Tyler Technologies, Inc. (formerly New World) in 2006 for Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management System (RMS) software. The City has continued this relationship with Tyler Technologies which has expanded their system to include additional modules to enhance record keeping and information management in the Police Department. DISCUSSION Police Department staff have evaluated electronic documentation systems to support officers' issuance of citations in the field to facilitate the required AB 953 Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) of 2015 data collection. AB 953 requires all city and county local law enforcement agencies in California, as well as the California Highway Patrol and peace officers of California State and university educational institutions, to collect perceived demographic and other detailed data regarding pedestrian and traffic stops. The data to be collected includes, among other things, the perceived race or ethnicity, gender, and approximate age of the person stopped, as well as other data such as the reason for the stop, whether a search was conducted, and the results of any such search. Law enforcement agencies subject to this reporting requirement must report this datato the California Attorney General's Office every year, with specific reporting deadlines set forth in the statute. Alternative electronic ticket writing systems were evaluated and presented higher cost without the integration into the existing information management system. The Brazos Components of Tyler Technologies present the best system for electronic ticket writing that integrates with existing software. Recommended Expenditures: The Police Department recommends expenditures be allocated to purchase the Brazos Components from Tyler Technologies Inc. This allocation will be utilized to purchase an electronic documentation system to support officers' issuance of citations in the field and facilitate the required AB 953 Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) of 2015 data collection.
