25
26 A. Resolution 21-095 - Approving a Contract with CentralSauare Pro Suite Records
27 Management System.
28
29 Police Chief Mangseth reviewed the St. Anthony Police Department's current Records
30 Management System (RMS) from LETG-Law Enforcement Technology Group is approaching
31 end of life. The company has been sold twice in recent years and the current provider will only
32 maintain but not upgrade the system as we move forward. In addition, the current Metro I -net
33 Server that houses LETG is approaching end of life. In our collaborative work with the
34 Department of Justice (DOJ) Community Orientated Policing Services (COPS) Office (2017) we
35 identified the need to provide for a more efficient RMS that will save officer/staff time, fulfill
36 our commitment to police department's strategic plan and efficiently provide detailed statistical
37 information to the community. St. Anthony is part of a RMS User Group with three other police
38 departments, which saves on the cost, as we are sharing many of the costs across multiple
39 agencies. As a group, we have chosen to purchase Pro -Suites RMS. Pro -Suites is also the service
40 provider for Tri-Tech, which is an RMS/CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) program for larger
41 allow any information entered by the dispatchers, to populate into our in-house RMS.
42
43 Chief Mangseth reviewed Pro RMS and the CentralSquare Minnesota Agencies. Staff
44 recommends moving forward with Pro -Suites for our new records management system. Once the
45 service agreement is signed, Staff will work with the service provider and partnering agencies to
46 migrate to the new system in January of 2022. The process will take up to eight months to

complete, which will include data migration and training. This item has been included in the
2022 capital budget.
A draft of the Pro Suite Agreement was provided for City Council review.
6 Councilmember Walker asked if there is a reason the current RMS isn't being upgraded. Chief
7 Mangseth stated the current records management system has been bought and sold twice. The
8 current owner is Central Square. They have also purchased other systems throughout the country.
9 They have built a number of products contained in a suite that drive multiple functions. They are
10 going more toward the entire suites. This greatly improves communication and sharing of
11 information between agencies.
12
13 Councilmember Jenson asked how long the transfer of data takes? Chief Mangseth stated within
14 the 8-month timeframe he does not know how long the transfer will take and will check on that
15 and report back to the City Council. All information on LETG server will stay on a server and be
16 available until the transfer is done.
17
18 Councilmember Webster thanked Chief Mangseth for outlining this plan.
19
20 Mayor Stille stated this appears to improve information received. The City Council supports the
21 Police Department as well as all City Departments. He appreciates the research done and
22 thanked Chief Mangseth for his presentation.

35 union. This is a three (3) year contract with the St. Anthony Fire Department's employees. Cost
36 of Living Adjustment (COLA) is set for the first two years with a reopener for wages only in the
