DECATUR POLICE DEPARTMENT <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> 11-06 <br /> To: Michael T. McElroy, Mayor <br /> Ryan P. McCrady, City Manager <br /> From: Todd A.Walker, Interim Chief of Police <br /> Jonathan D. Thomas, Lieutenant <br /> Subject: Sungard Public Sector-CAD 400 Migration Preparation and Training <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The purpose of this memorandum is to request the expenditure of funds to <br /> Sungard Public Safety Sector for necessary preparation and training staff related to the CAD 400 migration. The <br /> CAD 400 migration must be completed by January 1, 2012 and the training and support from Sungard Public <br /> Sector is necessary for the migration. It would be the recommendation of staff that the Decatur Police Department <br /> pay the Sungard Public Sector CAD 400 migration preparation and training at the cost of$20,840,to be paid out <br /> of the Communications Center budget. <br /> BACKGROUND: The Decatur Police Department has used Sungard Public Sector software to operate the <br /> Emergency Communications Center and the associated systems for over 10 years. The Sungard software operates <br /> the Computer Aided Dispatch(CAD), CRIMES,the official record of incidents, the message switch which reads <br /> out to the Mobile Data Computers for Police and Fire, QREP, GTG Looking Glass Crimes and the Records <br /> Management System. <br /> The Communications center currently uses the CAD 6 version of software. Sungard requires the upgrade to the <br /> CAD400 be implemented by January 1, 2012, at which time the CAD 6 version will no longer be supported. That <br /> upgrade started in May 2009 and must be completed by January 1, 2012. It required some data to be transferred, <br /> entered and response plans to be regenerated in the new software, which required that staff receive training on <br /> making those entries as well as on operating the new system. It also requires the conversion of geo file data from <br /> the existing CAD 6 to the CAD 400 system. <br /> The training requires Sungard to send staff to provide that training for 26.5 days and the cost for said training, <br /> plus the work regarding the conversion of geo file data, is $20,840. That training covers administrator training, <br /> CAD end user training and Mobile update and complete migration to CAD400. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: Sungard Public Sector CAD 400 migration quotes <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: None Anticipated <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Todd A.
