Joint Jurisdiction Projects
All five junsdictions have agreed per the attached MOU to pool a portion of their
individual funding for law enforcement and prosecuhon projects that vvill benefit all
jurisdictions For law enforcement programs, the applicants propose to fund an encryption
system for data transfer and a forensic computer system for techiucal investigations

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

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 later than October 2010 The project will begin in July 2009, with the purchasing of
necessary eqiupment, to be followed by network and vrnreless analysis startmg in January 2010
The Spokane Regional 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 recogivtion by other
related law enforcement agencies of the uiuversal and regional nature of services provided by the
County Prosecutor's Office The Prosecutor's Office handles a11 referred felony cases from each
of the local law enforcement agencies, Crty of Spokane Police, Crty of Spokane Valley, Spokane
County Shenff, Cheney, and Airway Heights The Spokane County Prosecuting Attorneys'
Office handles felony cases occumng wrthui Spokane County With each felony case filed, the
Prosecutor's Office is obhgated to prepare an "Understanduig of Cruninal History " 1'his is a
vrtal aspect of the daily process of the cnminal justice system Over the yeazs criminal lustory
has become increasingly more complex, and the courts have placed higher burdens on the
system The Cnnunal History Specialist serves not only as an essential piece for each felony
case, the posihon is quite cost effective As the case loads for each deputy prosecutor have
greatly increased, it becomes exceedulgly important to keep the Cnminal History Specialist in
place
The goal of the Cnmuial History Specialist is to improve the functiorung of the cnrrunal
justice system, specifically for courts and prosecution The related objective, therefore, is to
provide all of the felony attorneys in the Spokane County Prosecuhng Attorneys' Office vvith a
detailed cnmuial background record for everyone booked mto jail on felony chazges In 2008 a

to be determined, as additional funding is needed to fully complete the project It is expected the
project will begui no later than 2011 and will be completed by 2013
In order to unprove cnminal justice system functioriwg through equipment enhancement,
the Crty of Spokane also requests $68,235 70 to purchase 10 subcompact rugged laptop
computers for the SPD patrol uruts These laptops support the traffic and bike patrol functions as
they allow officers to transfer data more efficiently than solely relyulg on radio use duririg
rouhne contacts This enhances theujob performance and keeps radio frequencies available for
emergency commurucahons The start date for tlus project is June of 2010, vvith expendrtures
expected to be complete by June 2013 SPD also requests $3,000 to purchase 2 mountain bilces
m order to unprove existing equipment These mountain bilces will be used to supplement
