Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Division of Police needs to purchase advanced authentication software, licenses, and maintenance to satisfy a mandate issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division. CJIS provides state, local, and federal law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies with access to Criminal Justice Information (CJI) records such as fingerprints, criminal histories, and sex offender registrations. In accordance with CJIS security policies, parties accessing CJI through a mobile connection (such as Police cruiser laptops) are required to have advanced security controls to authenticate the identity of users. Additionally, any newly implemented equipment must have this technology in place at the time of installation in order to be fully compliant and allowed continued access to CJI records.
One method of advanced authentication is two-factor authentication, which requires users to provide a password and a unique identifier (such as a fingerprint, temporary authentication code provided by a security token, or an encrypted key code). The Division of Police has chosen to implement Netmotion 2FA on its new Fujitsu laptops. This technology validates identity using a biometric scan of the user fingerprint from a scanner on the laptop. This method of advanced authentication will satisfy the CJIS security requirements and compliance for continued access to CJI records. This ordinance also appropriates $67,554,.84 within the unappropriated balance of the Law Enforcement Seizure Fund.
BID INFORMATION: To immediately align our compliance with CJIS mandate, an informal bid was completed. Informal bids from three authorized resellers were provided to PoliceNet for vendor selection. After review of the bids, the Division of Police selected Upstate Wholesale dba BRITE Computers, who provided the lowest quote for product and services requested.
