This project will provide for the completion of the Law Enforcement Records Management System (LE-RMS) work originally planned under the Technology and Enterprise Business Solutions (TEBS) Public Safety System Modernization (PSSM) project (P340901). The PSSM project included phased upgrades and modernization of computer aided dispatch (CAD), law enforcement records management system (RMS), and voice radio systems used primarily by the County's public safety first responder agencies including Police, Fire and Rescue, Sheriff, Corrections and Rehabilitation, and Emergency Management and Homeland Security.

The Law Enforcement Records Management System (LE-RMS) will take 18-24 months to implement after contract award.

The PSSM program planning and execution has been underway since 2009. The CAD, Fire Station Alerting and Radio systems are all systems that were jointly used with Police, ECC, and Fire Rescue and will be complete by FY27. The LE-RMS is the last component of the project and is solely utilized and managed by the Police Department. The County encountered issues with the LE-RMS implementation, and the contract was terminated in March 2024. The creation of this new project allows Police to better monitor project implementation and make payments directly to the vendor. It also allows for the closeout of the original PSSM project.

Remaining balance of the PSSM project (No. 340901) ($1,757,000) is moved into this new project under Police. These funds will provide contracted support and implementation costs for the new programs. Post-implementation requirements such as software licenses fees will be supported by the operating budget.

An Executive Steering Committee will be formed with executive program directors, Technology and Enterprise Business Solutions, Department of Police, Sheriff's Office, Department of Correction and Rehabilitation, Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, City of Gaithersburg Police, City of Rockville Police, State's Attorney's Office, Maryland-National Park and Planning Commission Park Police, City of Takoma Park Police, and Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority
