• STAFF ORIGINATOR DATE TOPIC VOTES REQUIRED INTRODUCTION AGENDA ITEM 6A DAVID J. PECCHIA, PUBLIC SAFEY DIRECTOR /CHIEF OF POLICE February 12, 2001 CONSIDERATION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION No. 012A'TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH THE STATE OF MINNESOTA FOR T1 ACCESS CIRCUIT AND SUPPORTED TELECOMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT 3/5 The Lino Lakes Police Department has accepted installation of a Ti access circuit from the State of Minnesota to meet the needs of criminal justice communications between our department and the State. This circuit also provides the wide area network connection for the Anoka County Central Records Project. The State is requesting that the City enter into a joint powers agreement to document and clarify this cooperative effort. DISCUSSION The Lino Lakes Police Department has been involved in a cooperative effort with other Anoka County law enforcement agencies to centralize their police records systems. In order to facilitate the sharing of information it was necessary to install wide area network equipment and access circuits. Initially it was anticipated that the cost of installing the wide area network would be borne by the individual cities. As the Central Records Project progressed an opportunity became available to partner with the State to pilot the implementation of the new, State funded, Criminal Justice Data Network (CJDN). The CJDN will eventually provide high speed data access to every police department in the State of Minnesota. As a part of the CJDN project the State provided the T1 access circuit and necessary network hardware and allowed our department to add additional bandwidth to meet the needs of our Central Records Project. This arrangement will save the police department approximately $200 per month on our wide area network connection to the other police departments in Anoka County.
