HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 04092013 - C.80RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the District Attorney, or designee, to execute a contract with AT&T Corporation,
including modified indemnification language, in an amount not to exceed $15,000 to provide AT&T location
information service to assist in tracking truant juveniles for the period August 21, 2012 through April 21, 2013.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This program will be funded 100% from the Countywide Gang & Drug Trust.
BACKGROUND:
The District Attorney received approval to use previously collected “Drug Forfeiture” monies to support a program to
assist in preventing drug abuse, and diverting gang activity. The plan involves a Deputy District Attorney and law
enforcement personnel educating students about drugs and gangs, using educational programs which have been
proven to be effective in other jurisdictions. An additional component of the program will be an effort to reduce
truancy as it often leads to drug and gang activity. Part of that effort to reduce truancy involves the use of the AT&T
location information service to track truants via their cell phones.
