Approval of 2-year Contract with ForceMetrics
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The Police Department is seeking Council's approval to enter into a licensing agreement with ForceMetrics for a total cost of $120,000.00 over 2 years. As requested during the April 9, 2024, Council Study Session, the contract has a two (2) year term, with the automatic option to renew up to a total of five (5) years.
ForceMetrics provides a software platform that integrates with the department's Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), Records Management System (RMS), and other databases to quickly search and locate important information for Officers responding to calls. Officers benefit from having as much information as possible before arriving. This system enables dispatchers and officers to find what they're looking for without having to jump between and search multiple databases saving crucial time.
This software searches the Redmond Police Department's CAD and RMS databases using parameters such as addresses, names, vehicles, etc. located in reports previously documented by Redmond officers. This platform DOES NOT access any outside sources. It is essentially an Internal search engine. These searches can be done in a matter of seconds, providing officers with critical information whether enroute to the location or on scene conducting an investigation. relative information is obtained at the touch of a button using only internal data sources.
