County Administrator CxWtQ
DATE; March 16, 1988 (JOLM
SUBJECT;
Legislation: Senate Bill 2008 (Bergeson)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for SB 2008 by Senator Bergeson which
would require the CAL-ID . Program to provide for . the use of
facsimile and direct image fingerprint equipment for law
enforcement agencies.
BACKGROUND:
Existing law requires the Department of Justice to develop a
master plan to implement a fingerprint remote access network
which allows participating local law enforcement agencies direct
access to the California Identification System (CAL-ID) ,
New technology has developed equipment which allows the
transmission of fingerprints by facsimile machine from one
location to another. In addition, "live read" equipment allows
fingerprints to be taken in, for instance, the booking area of
the jail, and to be transmitted directly and immediately to the
centralcomputer. Inclusion of this latest technology is
necessary to insure that the CAL-ID system has available the
latest technology. ' .
Senator Marian ' Bergeson has introduced SB 2008 which requires
that the master plan for the remote access network include the
use ` of facsimile and direct image "live read" fingerprint
equipment. By requiring that this equipment be included in the
master plan for the five regional computer networks in
California, including .the Alameda-Contra Costa network, the State
will be required to participate in the cost of the equipment,
thereby allowing our ' CAL-ID Program to be equipped with the
latest technology now available to read and transmit
fingerprints.
The Sheriff recommends that the Board of Supervisors join him in
supporting SB 2008 . and we encourage the Board to do so
