CITY OF SOUTH BEND Reply To: <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 June 18, 1975 <br />Jerry J. Miller <br />Mayor <br />Michael D. Carrington <br />Director, Public Safety <br />Common Council Members <br />Council Chambers <br />4th Floor, County -City Bldg. <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Gentlemen: <br />The South Bend Police Department is respectfully requesting $62,500 <br />of Revenue Sharing Funds for the continued operation of our Police <br />Computer System through 1975. This program is critical to the operation <br />of the Police Department and after four C41 years of development has <br />matured and is fully operational. As you know, this program %s raglbnal <br />and has been developed primarily, with Criminal Justice funds, The grant <br />funds were exhausted on March 31, 1975 and now, each police agency\ussing <br />the services must pay their share. Presently the following poli;c e <br />agencies are participating: South Bend Police Department, Mishawaka <br />Police Department, St. Joseph County Police Department, EIWArt City\ <br />Police Department, Elkhart County Police Department, and aarsav,-Police <br />Department. The South Bend Police Department is very\depen.dent on this <br />system and uses it in many ways. Re hook into the State IDEX system <br />and the Federal NCIC system. We prepare reports that were previously <br />done manually, and we have excellent statistical information broken <br />down into many variables that we previously did not have. To lose this <br />system now would in my estimation be a tragedy and a giant step backward. <br />I urge your favorable consideration of this request. I would also strongly <br />recommend you permit the South Bend Police Department to include in its <br />1976 budget sufficient funds for this system. Your cooperation is appreciated. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael `D. Carrington <br />Director of Public Safety <br />t <br />
