Report
Summary
The IGA is created to enhance and foster the exchange of criminal justice information, to assist in criminal investigations, and improve officer/public safety. When conducting criminal investigations, law enforcement agencies work together to determine if information exists in other jurisdictions related to their criminal investigation. The agencies utilize the data to assist with prosecuting cases, furthering investigations, and determining sentencing.
In order to reduce the amount of time it may take to receive critical information from a Phoenix Police Department employee conducting research and gathering all significant information, specified personnel from identified agencies are able to access the Police Department's RMS and perform their own research which supports obtaining all applicable and essential information by the established court deadlines.
The Department anticipates entering into agreements with the following law enforcement agencies:
- Glendale Police Department
- Surprise Police Department
- Arizona Department of Public Safety
- Maricopa County Attorney's Office
Contract Term
The terms of the agreement will be for 10 years from the date of execution, with varying execution dates.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact associated with this IGA.
