Constable Pct. #1:
Discussion, consideration, and approval to enter into a Non-Binding Grant Contingency Agreement between PostInk Technology, L.P. and Hidalgo County Constable Pct. 1 in order for Post-Ink Technology, L.P. to write (draft) any applicable grant application for the Copsync software on behalf of the Constable Pct. 1 office.

This is a really good project that addresses the entire problem that IT and the Constables have been trying to solve for sometime. The software has report writting, civil case management, criminal history check capability, integration into the current counties warrant tracking system (ABLEterm), and will fall in line with what the Cities of Weslaco and Mercedes (as well as others) are going to. The Software is interoperability compliant, as well as numerous other pluses. The company asks questions about our department and tailors a grant document to our needs. The company prepares the document sends it to us for our review and WE send it off after our approval. The company assures me of a sky high increase in productivity, which is somthing I have to agree with after seeing thier demo. In the end each officer will have a laptop capable of solving the cell phone problem (reliable communications), reduce dependancy and demand on the sheriff's office, civil case management (a major plus), and so many other logistical problems.

Cash match will be determined depending on the type of grant application drafted and submitted as per Joel Rivera from Constable Pct. 1 (IC 10-31-07)
