body
Financial Impact:
There would be no financial impact to the general fund.
Background Information:
“Cal-ID” refers to the California Identification System maintained by the California Department of Justice (DOJ). It is a state-wide law enforcement fingerprint identity infrastructure that local agencies plug into.
The purpose of Senate Bill 720 (SB720) was to fund programs that enhance the capacity of local law enforcement to provide fingerprint and other biometric identification modalities and effectively created what is now known as the Cal-ID Program.
California Penal Code §11112 defines the requirement for a Remote Access Network (RAN) Board to approve the use of the collected funds. The RAN Board shall determine the placement of RAN equipment within the county and coordinate the acceptance, delivery and installation of RAN equipment. The board shall develop any procedures necessary to regulate the ongoing use and maintenance of that equipment, adhering to the guidelines adopted by the department. The local board shall consider placement of equipment on the basis of the following criteria:
(1) The crime rate of the jurisdiction or jurisdictions served by the agency.
(2) The number of criminal offenses reported by the agency or agencies to the department.
(3) The potential number of fingerprint cards and latent fingerprints processed.
(4) The number of sworn personnel of the agency or agencies.
