Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Public Safety Director to enter into a contract with Motorola Solutions to develop a software interface that will feed criminal report data from the Police record management system (PremierOne) into two separate MatrixCrime prosecution management systems, one at the County and the other at the Columbus City Attorney's Office.
MatrixCrime is an integrated web portal acquired by the The Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney's Office that enables electronic submission of criminal incident information from law enforcement agencies. This prosecution case management system will provide a common incident report form, so that incident reports from all of the law enforcement agencies that interface with the prosecution system will have common content and look and allow the status and notifications on the progress of cases to be tracked through the site. The acquisition of an interface into the County Prosecutor's MatrixCrime prosecution management system will allow the Division of Police to easily assemble charge packages, track their contents and upload them to the Prosecutor. This process will simplify and accelerate the submission of cases and supplemental information - including incident reports, witness statements, and 911 recordings. The City Attorney's Office is also in the process of acquiring a MatrixCrime prosecution system that will be accessed by the Division of Police's report management system through this same interface.
Bid Information: This contract is authorized in accordance with the sole source provision of the Columbus City Codes Chapter 329, due to the proprietary nature of the software currently in use by the Columbus Division of Police. The cost associated with these services was based upon negotiations with the existing vendor to ensure the best pricing for the City of Columbus and the Division of Police.
