Sheriff's Office Crime Lab PERSON REQUESTING. Daren Ford, DME Technical Lead Brief description of the problem/issue: DATE 6/8/2018 The Regional Crime has the opportunity to obtain funds to replace the Cellebrite being used at the regional lab kiosk at a cost of $3,000 for the machine. The grant requests also includes $3,700 for the first year of maintenance for this machine, for a total request of $6,700 The current device will reach end of life on June 30, 2018. On June 30th the'device cannot be updated with the latest cell phone changes that would allow the analyst/detective to retrieve images/data from phone's data storage devices. Several options were given and we chose the one that is the most cost effective. This option provides us the greatest capacity to obtain the data we needed without purchasing the higher end versions at a cost of approximately $13,000. We are asking for the opportunity to submit a request for grant funding that will help our lab to maintain the quality of service it has attained and continue to provide essential services to the region. There is never a guarantee that funds will be given, but we have been able to secure funds from the 1CAC grant over the past 7 years. If funds are approved, a separate request will be made in the fall to accept the SOGA offered What options exist for the Board? (Include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options) ® Approve the request for small equipment ($6,700) for the Regional Lab This provides additional funds for the lab purchase a soon to be out of date device to access cell phone data This device is one that is also used by the WCSO investigators. ® Deny the request to submit a grant application for this piece of equipment, resulting in a request of general fund dollars to meet this purpose. Recommendation: I recommend that we be allowed to submit the request for! these fund .
