Information

Agenda Item Text:

Approve License Agreement for Graykey in the amount of $35,350.59, for use of a mobile device forensic analysis tool, effective June 28, 2024, through June 27, 2027.

Background:

This contract approval is connected to the Anti-Human Trafficking grant the Board of Supervisors approved on 6/4/24.  We need board approval for a mult-year contract for their services. 
Graykey is a cell phone tool which allows access and analysis of locked cell phones lawfully seized as part of a criminal investigation.  The Sheriff's Office uses computer and cell phone forensic technology as a routine part of our investigations.  The information we gather is a critical component of identifying child sex predators, human & drug  trafficking organizations and a myriad of other criminal activity.  Graykey offers unique capabilities not available with other mobile device forensic tools.  

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

After purchase we will immediately begin using this capability to analyze mobile devices to further our investigations.  

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

If it is not approved we will seek other funding for the same capabilities because it is critical to our ability to investigate criminal activity.
