Requires further study - SVPD would support the establishment of working groups for communications and data systems. We believe that a framework for working together needs to be established first. Without executive support, staffing and a means to fund specific recommendations, these committees are not effective. I hope the information we have provided will be helpful to the Grand Jury. If we can be of further assistance, please let me know. Sincerely, N ! L z z s ~ - Mark E. Layhew Chief of Police ! LO349

Concur in Part - While the VCIJIS model is a good one, it does not allow for data sharing among agencies. In our inquiries, SVPD was told that there was no budget or staff time allocated to provide an interface to the VCIJIS system for outside agencies. When VCIJIS started, it was envisioned that the outside agencies would have access directly to most VCIJIS applications through a single point of contact. Currently, cities interface to the District Attorney's CRIMES program and through CLETS/Wants BILL DAVIS STWEN T. SOJKA BARBRA WILLIAMSON PAUL MILLER GLEN 1.B ECERRA Mayor Mayor Pro Tern Council Member Council Member Council Member system. It is our understanding that CLETS service is being transitioned to a new Tiburon switch; however, no means for cities to interface has yet been discussed.
