OBJECTIVE

The objective of this work element is to coordinate, develop, and implement applications that enhance public safety
throughout the San Diego region. The Department of Homeland Security's Urban Area Security Initiative addresses this
need by funding agencies to implement projects that target information sharing in San Diego County and bordering
regions. The emphasis in FY 2014 will be to: (1) procure an enterprise license for mobile facial recognition; (2) continue
supporting the COPLINK nodes; (3) develop an analytical application to help disseminate License Plate Reader (LPR)
and other data sources; (4) continue the development of the interface to the Sheriffs Records Management System
(NetRMS); and (5) Complete an assessment of linking regional cameras throughout the region.
PREVIOUS ACCOMPLISHMENTS

ARJIS has developed a robust mobile program that has greatly enhanced public safety though out the region by enabling
officers to obtain critically needed data in the field. A facial recognition component has been piloted that is assisting with
positive identifications and arrests. The ARJIS LPR project has shown tremendous success and provides all ARJIS
member agencies with access to records form the 60+ cameras throughout the county. In addition, this initiative has
facilitated the completion of an interface between ARJIS and NetRMS. This interface provides for the timely ingestion of
Sheriffs records into ARJIS, eliminating duplicate data entry and improving accuracy.
JUSTIFICATION

The cross-jurisdictional sharing of critically needed justice data enhances both officer and public safety. The Department
of Homeland Security's Urban Area Security Initiative addresses this need by funding agencies to implement projects
that target information sharing in San Diego County and bordering regions. Projects such as NetRMS, and License PLate
Readers will enable the expansion of information-sharing in San Diego County and bordering regions, thus improving
public and officer safety.
