Rationale for Recommendation: Authorizing the proposed resolution will allow the City to implement strategies recommended by the US DOJ Public Safety Partnership to address crime, focusing on increasing the efficiency of SPD’s Digital Forensics Unit by expanding the use of cloud-based storage solutions and investigative software tools. Funding will also allow for the development of enhanced geospatial software solutions that will improve mapping abilities for internal and external uses, including public-facing dashboards that share the latest violent crime suppression results. A subaward will be provided to the District Attorney’s Office to further their goals identified in the Public Safety Partnership Assessment.
