Safe Communities

California Penal Code Section 11112.4 establishes a State Remote Access Network (RAN) Board that will determine the placement of RAN equipment (i.e. fingerprint identification systems).  The equipment provided by the RAN Board is a uniform statewide network of equipment and procedures allowing local law enforcement agencies direct access to the California Identification System.   For FY2021-22, the State has recommended the following equipment to be purchased or replaced: 45 mobile ID devices and equipment ($190,000), Integrated Biometric Workstation (IBW) latent fingerprint workstation replacement ($55,000), two Dataworks portable livescan replacements ($15,000) and two double-sided Mantica printers with dual-sided laminator ($25,000).  The use of fund balance for the purchases has been approved by the local County RAN Board on August 17, 2021, but was not included in the Sheriff's Adopted Budget.

Because the appropriation increase was not included in the Sheriff's Adopted Budget, Board of Supervisor approval is now requested.

The local RAN board has approved the budget at their August 17, 2021 meeting.  Department of Financial Services has reviewed the appropriations.  County Counsel has approved the budget resolution as to form.
