This equipment, known as <br />Modems and Multiplexers, transmits a signal compatable to the host <br />computer for processing. The inter -face, when completed, will allow <br />all officers at the remote sites to make inquires into the system <br />and also receive a printed copy at their location. The system will <br />also allow direct access into the State and Federal Computer file <br />system known as NCIC and IDACS. <br />The funds involved in this transfer ordinance will also purchase <br />three (3) additional computer terminals. All original case reports <br />flow through the central records bureau to become an official police <br />report. In order to maximize the efficiency of the Department and <br />render the best and most cost - effective method available, the three <br />(3) terminals are needed in the day to day operations. <br />If you have questions about the proposed transfers, please feel free <br />to contact me. <br />Very truly yours, <br />Dan D.
