Report
Summary
This contract will provide Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigators and forensic examiners with a seamless way to import all types of image formats for immediate analysis. The purchase of the licenses for the Griffeye Analyze Toolset, which includes CS Operations Server, CS Operations Client, DI Pro, and Lace Carver, will allow the Family Investigations Bureau to continue to use this software. This continuation will allow for seamless transition between the workload of investigators and forensic examiners. Additionally, various features built into the Griffeye Analyze Toolset aim at reducing investigators and forensic examiners exposure to child sex abuse material, thus fostering mental health wellness. The need for additional funds is because the ICAC team has grown in size since the contract was originally awarded. Due to this, we added three additional licenses, which now allows the entire ICAC team to utilize Griffeye at the same time.
Contract Term
The contract term remains unchanged, ending on April 4, 2028.
Financial Impact
Upon approval of $50,000 in additional funds, the revised aggregate value of the contract will not exceed $154,250. Funds are available in the Police Department's budget.
