Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on requiring local participating entities to share in the cost of Williamson County’s law enforcement records system known as the NIBRS Recording System.

Southwestern University PD requested to use our Law Enforcement Records Management System.  Prior to bringing this item to the commissioners court, we wanted to know what costs were associated with the use of this system.  Allowing other law enforcement agencies to use the system will not cost the county any additional money; however, the court should have the opportunity to discuss cost participation with the entities currently using the system and those wishing to use it in the future.  

Attached you will find a spreadsheet showing all current users of the system and the cost for allowing Southwestern PD to join in.  If approved, legal counsel will work to prepare a cost participation agreement.
