Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Plan.
Area of Focus: Core Services/Other
Strategic Plan Category: 9999 - Core Services/Other
DISCUSSION:
The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) must manage and interpret large volumes of data from a variety of sources and in many formats. A current barrier the HCSO faces is fragmentation of current data systems. Key information from dispatch records, incident reports, intelligence data, emergency management platforms, and field-based tools currently exist in separate, siloed systems that do not share data in real time. Staff must manually access, retrieve, and reconcile the information across the multiple platforms during fast-moving emergencies, that can cause delayed response, reduce situational awareness, and limit coordination with partner agencies.
The HSCO requests the Board of Supervisors’ approval to enter into a three-year standard agreement with Peregrine Technologies, Inc. to integrate these siloed systems into one secure, cloud-based analytics platform designed specifically for law enforcement agencies. Implementation the software establishes a centralized, interoperable system that will improve officer safety, increase response efficiency, enhance coordination with mutual-aid partners, and strengthen public safety outcomes for Humboldt County.
In accordance with county policy, the software has been reviewed and approved by County Information Technology and the County ADA Compliance Team.

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
