R1Page 2The Grand Jury recommends that the Chowchilla Police Department procure a LiveScan fingerprint system. The Jury is concerned that the City of Chowchilla is not taking advantage of current technology and may miss opportunities to contribute to the safety of the community at this time of heightened security awareness. The LiveScan system may in the long-term provide additional savings by reducing the cost to the Police Department for the processing of fingerprints manually. ENTITIES TO RESPOND 1. Madera County Board of Supervisors 2. City of Chowchilla Chief of Police 3. Chowchilla City Council

CL1 Page 46The Grand Jury found the condition of the jail to be excellent and the management to be professional. The now completed renovation to the jail is clean and well organized with efficient use of space. The Jury is especially impressed that such a small city with limited resources has performed so well. With so many cities reducing city services due to budgetary constraints exacerbated by State budget issues, it is important to note the City of Chowchilla’s commitment to providing for it’s long-term needs while still providing the basic services that have been cut or reduced by other cities and communities.
