BACKGROUND <br /> The Police Department's current computer aided dispatch (CAD) and records <br /> management system (RMS) do not provide electronic crash data submission to the <br /> California Highway Patrol (CHP). As a result, staff must manually submit crash data <br /> along with associated paperwork. The TRIP grant will provide funding for the purchase <br /> and implementation of a new traffic crash reporting system, which will improve the <br /> Police Department's reporting efficiency and timeliness. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The State Office of Traffic Safety TRIP grant, included as Attachment 2, focuses on <br /> upgrading crash reporting software for compatibility with CHP's Statewide Integrated <br /> Traffic Records System (SWITERS) system to expedite records processing. The grant <br /> award includes a new traffic accident database system to collect, analyze, and display <br /> crash and enforcement data. <br /> Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) accepting the <br /> $39,100 TRIP grant funding and appropriate the funds the Operations Grant Fund to <br /> increase data collection and reporting efficiency in the city. The grant award will enable <br /> the Police Department to upgrade current systems for more effective records <br /> processing compatible with CHP SWITERS database. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved by: <br /> David Swing Susan Hsieh Gerry Beaudin <br /> Chief of Police Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
