Re:Agenda Item#ik-^Comm.Mtg.September 21,1999
Purchase of ComputerSoftware
REQUEST
Approval of the attached resolution authorizing the purchase of "CnmeFile 2000"integrated
database software for the Police Department
BACKGROUND &ANALYSIS
The Police Department recently purchased new computer hardware.The computer
hardware included a new file server and twelve computers.The purchase of aupgraded
softwarepackageis now needed.
The Police Department is requesting to purchase an upgrade for the USA Software
"CnmeFile 2000 integrated database software.These software is the main database for the
Police Department's records.It contains all ofthe police reports,subject information and
other related data.The current version of CrimeFile 2000 software that the Police
Department now has is outdated,non-Y2K compliant,and is anon-Windows based that will
not run on the new fileserver that has been purchased.
The upgraded software is state of the art and will provide significant technological advances
for the Department.The upgraded CrimeFile 2000 will also accommodate the use ofmobile
data terminals in the future and will allow the officer to write police reports on the computer.
The CrimeFile 2000 for Windows Information Management System upgrade will include all
current modules plus several new modules.Several of these modules are added to the
software package with no additional cost.We are adding several optional modules,such as
Field Incident Reporting Host System with 5 Laptop licenses,PhotoFile for mugshots and
lineups maintenance,and a GeoFile which will allow us to query the database by
geographical areas.These new modules will enhance theability of the software tomeetthe
needs of the Police Department.
The Police Department is requesting to purchase this computer software package from USA
Software Inc.for a sum not to exceed $38,000.00 pursuant to the 1998-1999 budget,from
Account 615-1910-521-4630 (FederalForfeitureFunds).
RECOMMENDATION
Approval is recommended.
SOUTH MIAMI POLICE DEPARTMENT
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:Cokes Watson Jr.Chief of Police
FROM:CaptainD.Salerno
DATE:September 2,1999
SUBJECT:Selection of USA Software
The Police Department needs to purchase,as soon as possible,an Integrated Database
Software for the new computer hardware that has already been purchased.We need to
make a selection as soon as possible because we are rapidly approaching the year 2000 As
ltbecomes closer to December 31,1999,more and more software purchasers will be
trying to get their software installed before the end of the year to avoid any Y2K problems.
I evaluated three software packages,USA Software's CrimeFile 2000,Vision Software's
Public Safety Suite and Integrated Education Systems'Crime Automated Reporting
System (CARS).v *
Our Department has been using the UNIX Charter based version ofUSA Software's
CrimeFile for the last ten years.The software has performed very well during that time
We have never had any computer system failure caused by the software.The USA
Software staffhas always been very helpful to us in providing the assistance that we have
needed.Since we are upgrading our old USA Software we are getting a discount on those
modules.
Below is a comparison ofthe three integrated database software packages:
USA CrimeFile 2000 Software:
This software is a graphical-windows based integrated software.We would be purchasing
upgrades for all of our existing modules,plus the addition of several new and very
important modules.These modules include PhotoFile 2000 for Mugshots and Photo Line
Ups,Crystal Report which allows us to query any of the fields of data in any format that
we would like and GeoFile 2000 which will allow us to query for data using geographical
areas.Field Incident Reporting Host System with Laptop Licenses which will allow usto
write police reports onthe computer and gets us ready for theuse of Mobile Data
Terminals inthe future.The Florida Accident Reporting module would allow accident
reports to be completed on the computer.The software will have a supervisor report
approval system for police reports completed inthe network,outside of the MDT software.
USA Software also has an Enhanced Budget File,and an Alarm Billing File.We would
have 100%of our old data conversion.
One ofthe most important features is that the police report will print out looking exactly
likethe handwritten forms we are now using.
TotalCost $37,365.00
Vision Software:
This is a graphical windows based integrated software.I observed this software being used
at the Sunny Isle Police Department.It appears to be able to do most of the same things
has many ofthe same features ofthe CrimeFile software,but does not have a budget file.
This would require usto set upa spread sheet for each budget account in Excel.It does not
have a PhotoFile or an Alarm Billing modules.The reports are printed out ina
wordprocessor format,which does not look like our police report forms.
TotalCost $39,300.00
CrimeAutomated Reporting System Software:
This is a graphical windows based integrated software.I tried out a demo copy of this
software.It is very similar to the Vision Software.It also does not have a budget File
which would require a spread sheet for each account number.They do not have a
PhotoFile or an alarm Billing Modules.The reports are printed out in a wordprocessor
format,which does notlooklike our police report forms.
TotalCost $39,600.00
Iam recommending thatour Department purchase theUSA Software CrimeFile 2000
software and the monies come fromtheFederalForfeitureFund.

Dear Captr.in Sa.emo:
VSA Software.Inc.is pleased lo present you this proposal jut CrimeFile 2000 ®For Windows Information
Management System upgrade.I think you will agree that our system has been an asset to your department by
helpingyoutobetter manage your information
Our staff has installed systems in over 1OC law enforcement agencies across :he Southeast United States andhas
over 150 yearscombinedesperier.ee in lawenforcement.
Please find the enclosed configuration and pricing that you requested Please take a moment to read the "'NOTES'*
section of the proposal asit states the hardware requirements for the most etiiciem operation of USA Software.Inc
programs
The standard read data provided as part cf Geotracs GecC.AM product is purchased from Geographic Data
Technologies (OCT)GDTisa national roaddata provider thathas enhanced the U.S.CensusBureau'sTIGER
road data files.GDT's road data has proven to be reasonably accurate for most uses but may be incomplete (e.g.
missing roads and attribution data)and may be inaccurate (e.g.misplaced roads and erroneous attribution)in places.
For example,some roeds in the community may not appear on the GDT read map because they were built after
GDT compiled its date fcr your community.Likewise.GDT may have missed some roads :ntheir data compilation
effort.Address ranges may h3^e been missed or placed in the wrong spot by GDT.Perhaps a few road names are in
error.Ycurcommunitypolitical boundary mayhavechangedduetcan annexation andisnot reflected intheGDT
map data.These and other cartographic and map data errors or omissions are a normal pan cf dealing with GIS data
layers.Also,piease notethattheGTD read datawerecompiled atasmallscaleandcannotbeused to measure
distances or a.eas with engineer or surveyor levels of accuracy Geotrac does not guarantee GDT's data or warrant
thesuitabilityoftheGCTdataforanyparticularuse
The GDT product can be enhanced by Gectrac to provide a better representation ofycur community if you feel there
is a need.There ere a number of enhancement options available.The cost of each option depends onthe size of
your community,the amount of enhancement needed and your ability to participate in thedata collection anc
verification effort.Geotrcc can consult with you to assist in making a decision on which option will be most
beneficial for vour community
