Live Scan / Digital Mug Shot Project |
In August of 2004 the
Auburn Police Department was awarded a competitive grant from the New
York State Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) under the
Byrne Grant Program for the Store and Forward Implementation Expansion
Project. The grant award was $45,790 with a matching fund amount
of $15,263 provided by the Auburn Police Department for a total project
cost of $61,053. This project will allow the Auburn Police
Department to implement
Livescan
Technology for the electronic capture and transmission of arrest
fingerprints, data and mug shots to the New York State Division of
Criminal Justice Services and the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
This technology will assist Auburn Police Officer's
with the prompt processing of a defendant, accurately recording their
fingerprints and mug shot in a digital format and then electronically
sending these fingerprints to the states Department of Criminal Justice
Services (DCJS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations where the
fingerprints will be compared to other prints on file verifying the
defendants identity and alerting the arresting Officer of any
outstanding warrants within New York State and across the country.
This process and the response from DCJS will be received within a matter
of minutes instead of the weeks a response would take when fingerprints
were rolled with ink and sent through the mail.
| The Auburn Police Department will be securely
linked with Onondaga Counties "Store and Forward Server". This
among other features allows our Officers to access the mug shot
database of all other agencies submitting through Onondaga's
server. These agencies include Onondaga County Sheriff's
Department, Syracuse City Police Department, Camillus Police
Department, Dewitt Police Department, Manlius Police Department,
Oswego City and Sheriff's Departments, Baldwinsville Police
Department, Cicero Police Department, Clay Police Department and
SUNY Hospital Police. With this added mug shot database
searching capability, our Officers can more quickly identify
criminals that come into our City from elsewhere. Officers will
also be able to pull up these mug shots from within their patrol
cars using our Mobile Data Terminals which are installed in all
Patrol vehicles. |
 |
The
Auburn Police Department has chosen the vendor
ComnetiX Computer Systems to supply our agency with the equipment
and software technology necessary to complete this project.
ComnetiX principal business is the provision of advanced
biometric, hardware-independent, FBI standards-based verification and
identification software solutions. Since its inception in 1980, the
company has become a leader in the development of state of the art
networked criminal intelligence systems.
They
currently have several installations operating in New York State.
They include Suffolk County, Albany Police Department, Erie County,
Broome County Sheriff’s Department.
The Auburn Police Department is
anticipating a grant contract to arrive from NYS DCJS in the near future
and once this arrives our agency plans on the immediate purchase of the
software and equipment needed to implement this project. Our goal
is to have this project in place and our staff trained by the beginning
of January 2005.
The Auburn Police
Department recently was awarded $ 38,110 as a continuation of the COPS
'98 federal technology grants for law enforcement. This award will allow
the upgrade and completion of the Mobile Data Terminal (M.D.T.) Project
Phase. This phase is but a portion of the Auburn Police Department's
planned modernization and technology advancements for the new
millennium. These planned advancements of using technology to increase
law enforcement effectiveness allows individual police officers to
lesson the amount of necessary paperwork and dedicate that saved time to
be more proactive to community needs.
| The award allows
the police department to finish the installation of mobile data
terminals in all patrol vehicles. It also allows for the purchase of
3 personal computers to enhance the system within the operations
areas of the department.
Since the inception of the M.D.T. project, the Auburn Police
Department has benefited greatly from the enhanced ability of
officers on the street to access the departments records management
system for information. Addresses and descriptions of persons on
files, outstanding warrants, motor vehicle information via state
D.M.V. files, information on property owners and business owners and
other information that is invaluable to street police operations, is
now at the officers fingertips. |
 |
The M.D.T. Project has also enabled officers to
complete routine reports in their patrol vehicles and download those
reports onto a disk in the police cruiser. The disk is then downloaded
and printed by personal computers at headquarters at the completion of
the officer's shift. Officers can receive voiceless officer safety and
general information from headquarters and can communicate sensitive
information to headquarters and to other officers on the street through
the messaging function.
Furthermore, the technology involved in the
M.D.T.'S has freed dispatcher time by allowing the officer on the street
to bypass the dispatcher to retrieve needed information. This enables
the dispatch function to be less hectic during peak call loads and
reduces stress levels in both the officers and the dispatch personnel.
The inception of E-911 within Cayuga County, in which the City of
Auburn is located, is scheduled within eight to twelve months and should
open further opportunities for linkage of mobile data technology on a
county-wide basis with the County Sheriffs Office. In the future,
if funding sources are available, a complete transition to a networked
system for the entire police building utilizing p.c. workstations,
inclusive of all personnel, is envisioned. This networking will allow
the flexibility of a p.c. Windows system to be linked to the present
in-house records management system. The current records management
system for the police department operates in an AS-400 environment and
is available in the M.D.T. system in all patrol units.
