Agenda Item No. 41

 

Introduced by the Law Enforcement and Finance Committees of the:

 

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

 

 RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT $250,000.00 FROM THE 2009 STATE OF MICHIGAN JAG GRANT FOR THE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING A COUNTY-WIDE BOOKING SYSTEM

 

RESOLUTION #09-282

 

WHEREAS, the Ingham County Sheriff’s Office booking system is over twenty years old and has not kept up with technological advances in the area of paperless booking systems; and

 

WHEREAS, the Ingham County Sheriff’s Office will be the fiduciary of this grant program, working with the Police Departments from the City of Lansing, City of East Lansing, Meridian Township and Michigan State University; and

 

WHEREAS, the Ingham County Sheriff’s Office booking system is different than the Lansing Police Department’s booking system, East Lansing Police’s booking system, Meridian Township Police’s booking system and Michigan State University Police Department’s booking system thus causing double, triple and quadruple booking of individuals as they travel between agencies and are lodged in each department’s jail; and

 

WHEREAS, the above grant would implement a county-wide, single booking system for the Ingham County Sheriff’s Office, Lansing Police Department, Meridian Township Police Department, East Lansing Police Department and Michigan State University Police Department thus ensuring a one time booking process for all individuals arrested in the county and lodged at one of the above police departments, thus eliminating duplicate or more booking processes between agencies; and

 

WHEREAS, the above grant would save countless personnel hours in duplicate booking processes as prisoners travel between agencies, and allow for the sharing of booking information between participating agencies; and

 

WHEREAS, the above grant would allow the above agencies to have a single booking system that would be integrated between each agency that is paperless, allowing for great reduction in paper files for each agency as well as lowering the cost of storage for such records.

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners approves acceptance of the $250,000 2009 State of Michigan JAG Grant (Justice Assistance Grant) and contract for the time period of October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2012.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes entering into subcontracts with the City of Lansing, City of East Lansing, Meridian Township and Michigan State University.
