body
Financial Impact:
These funds are budgeted in the FY 25/26 in the Major Crimes Budget 71210-53280.
Background Information:
The purchase of Ensurity Mobile Corp covert GPS tracking device and software will support criminal investigations and enhance operational effectiveness. Covert GPS technology is an investigative tool used by law enforcement to track the movements of vehicles involved in criminal activity, consistent with all applicable laws and warrant requirements. This technology provides real-time and historical location data that improves efficiency and safety of surveillance operations while reducing the need for extended physical surveillance by personnel.
The acquisition of this software will expand the Sheriff’s Office’s Investigative capabilities, particularly in cases involving narcotics trafficking, property crimes, and other offenses where monitoring vehicle activity is essential. Use of the software will allow detectives/investigators to conduct more targeted, data-driven investigations and will support case development, evidence collection, and officer safety.
Approval of this item will ensure investigators have reliable, legally compliant technology necessary to support covert operations and strengthen public safety efforts.
The Purchasing Department does not have any issues with this request, but due to previous Board direction, this is being brought to the Board due to the potential for public concern.
