In 2023, the City published an RFP for a new Police Records Management System (RMS). Seven proposals were received and evaluated by key stakeholders (PD and IT). The top three ranked firms were invited for demonstrations. Staff determined that Tyler Technologies could provide the best value to the City and Council approved Resolution 23-R-121 on December 19, 2023, authorized a contract with Tyler. The City of Cibolo Police Department is in the early stages of CAD replacement and has requested to use Schertz's procurement of the Tyler RMS system to satisfy their requirements for a competitive bidding process.

Section 271.102 of the Texas Local Government Code authorizes local governments to participate in a cooperative purchasing program with another local government, and stipulates that a local government that purchases materials, supplies, goods, services or equipment pursuant to a cooperative purchasing program with another local government satisfies the requirement of the local government to seek competitive bids for the purchase of the goods or services. 

The goal of this interlocal purchase agreement will allow both cities to purchase materials, supplies, goods, services or equipment pursuant to Subchapter F, Chapter 271 of the Texas Local Government Code. 

Texas local governments are able to realize substantial savings and economies of scale by cooperatively procuring materials, supplies, goods, services or equipment. Additionally, with Cibolo implementing Tyler RMS, the cities would be able to ensure police records are easily shared for intelligence and enforcement initiatives for both communities.
