RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Foster + Freeman to purchase the DCS-5 Fingerprint Imaging Workstation for the Hayward Police Department Investigations Division in an amount not to exceed $199,350.
SUMMARY
The Hayward Police Department has identified a comprehensive fingerprint imaging system for the detection, capture, and enhancement of almost any type of fingerprint on any surface or background to ensure that maximum detail is revealed. This will greatly improve the Crime Scene Technician (CST) Unit’s detection and capturing capabilities, which will help obtain higher quality latent print images for the Latent Print Examiner.
