applicants propose to spend funds on a prosecurion program for compositing cnminallustory backgrounds Each of these projects vvill be managed by one of the jurisdictions for the benefit of all Citv of Svokane In order to enhance justice uiformation shanng programs by unproving the secunty of data transfer, The City of Spokane vvill use $330,000 for a regional encryption system for the electromc transfer of Washuigton State Patrol (WSP) a.nd National Crime Information Center (NCIC) data This system will support law enforcement, corrections, and prosecution/court programs wnth the prevailing goal of providing secure cnnunal justice informahon systems The Page 2 of 13 JAG Recovery Act 2009 Program Narrative for Cities of Spokane, Spokane Valley, Airway Heights, Cheney, and Spokane County, WA associated objectives to this goal include complying with federal mandate and installing encryption systems for the secure transfer of data The City of Spokane intends to complete this project no

CAD system provides access to WSP and NCIC data systems Tlus system provides cntical data directly ta law enforcement, prosecutors, and the courts elimuiating the need for addihonal dispatchers and Records personnel New reqturements have been uistituted at the federal level that requue a high level of secure encryption for any data that is transnutted via wireless connection or across any network that is not solely operated by law enforcement Dunng the last WSP scheduled audrt, Spokane was nofafied that the current systems do not meet the Federal Informanon Processing Standards 140-2 reqwrement In order to aclueve the requued level of encryption, existing systems a.nd netwarks must be retrofitted to meet the requuement The retrafit will involve a combuiation of hardware, soflware, servers, and configuration services Tlus wnll provide secure data transfer for the regional cnminal justice system Spokane Countv The Spokane County Shenff's 4ffice (SCS4) will use $10,900 for an Ultra Bay n Forensic Computer to recover evidence in chil.d pornography cases, identity theft, and a variety of other crimes associated vvith computer cnme The monies rvill also purchase a Uruversal Forensic Extraction Device to process uLformation from cell phones and simtlat devices The primary vbjective of the SCSO Digital Forensic Computer Equ.ipment Project Zs to preserve and advance analysis of di,gita1 evidence dunng investigarion of cnmes mvolving digital tools of crime with the ultimate goal of reducing crime invalving digrtal cnme tools This project Page 3 of 13 JAG Recovery Act 2009 Program Narrative for Cines of Spokane, Spokane Valley, Airway Heights, Cheney, and Spokane County, WA supports the goal of crune prevention through preventing Intemet crunes against cluldren as well as supporhng the unproved funchonuig of the cnminal jushce system Digrtal Forensics can be defined as " the lughly specialized forensic exanunation on seized digital evidence and includes data retneval, password recovery, and finding deleted and/or hidden information " Digrtal evidence is defined as any uiformation of probative value that is stored or transmitted in digrtal or electronic form Digrtal evidence can play a crucial part in the inveshgarion in three different ways 1) Tool of the cnme A computer, cell phone, digrtal camera or other electroruc device can be used as a tool of the cnme, 2) Victim of the cnme The owner of a computer, cell phone, digital camera or other electroruc device can be a victun of a cnme and a digrtal forensic exanuner can deternune onginal ownerslup among other things, and 3) Incidental to the crune A computer, cell phone, digrtal camera or other electroruc device can contain valuable evidence that is incidental to the cnme For example, it would be great to know the last person that called a murder victun's cell phone and well as the last outgoing call The requested digrtal forensic computer equ.ipment vvill result in the follownng meaiumgful and measurable outcomes consistent wrth the goals of the Recovery Act The eff'iciencies created wlth the use of advanced technology will not only assist in preserving cnme analysis and investigation jobs at the SCSO, but will also promote econonuc recovery by investing in technological advances in science, which vvill dzrectly spur the commercial and manufacturmg sectors responsible for producing the equipment The Spokane regionallocal governments anticipate some budget stabdization as a result of increased capacity in the investigation of cnmes involving digrtal evidence, thereby avoiding reductions in these essential services Page 4 of 13 JAG Recovery Act 2009 Program Narrative for Cities of Spokane, Spokane Valley, Airway Heights, Cheney, and Spokane County, WA The activities involving the use of the digital forensic equipment will begin four to six weeks after the eqi,upment is ordered The date of purchase vvill depend on the tune frame in wluch the eqwpment currently being used reaches maxunum capacity As noted above in discussing the objectives anhcipated as a result of obtaimng the digital forensic equipment, the activities w1ll maxuzuze job retention and econonuc benefits Funds will be spent by 2013 Also managed by Spokane County, the Spokane Prosecutuig Attorney wnll use $170,000 to assist m the funding of a Cnminal History Specialist There has been
