In terms of our staffing here, it is predicted that with the data entry time being saved, that we have now added 5-7 years to our projected staffing plan before we will need to add additional office staff to our clerical unit. In addition, we were going to budget for a part-time evidence technician in 2008 to handle our property room details. That position as well can be deferred for 7-8 years. This add up to savings (l'vlinimally) of $60-$70,000 a year. (Entry level clerical at $44,000 a year including benefits and a part-time evidence tech at $26,000 a year) The parts that are difficult to measure are the hours of time spent currently by the investigators and patrol staff, doing clerical duties, when they should be doing other investigative or patrol work. Having the available clerical support to perform these duties will allow these officers to spend more time on their assigned tasks or working proactively on other police duties. Last, the impact that the automation of data entry will have on the County and State is beyond my ability to measure in terms of F.T.E. savings, but it should at least be noted that tens of thousands of incidents that are first entered here will not have to be reentered, nor will they have to be reentered on the State or County level. That equates to savings for everyone involved, over a long period of time. Attachments . Original memo and proposal to the Council from 2006-approval of the mobile project. .
