SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
In 2007 the Information Systems Division, in conjunction with the Police Department, sponsored a
statewide law enforcement technology users conference. This conference brought several law
enforcement agencies together to discuss the challenges of providing technology solutions to law
0 enforcement - particularly in the mobile environment - and to share solutions and new ideas. The
conference was very successful. As a result, the participants decided that the conference should
become an annual event.
For 2008, a much larger conference is planned. The conference will be the second annual Washington
State Law Enforcement Technology Conference and is scheduled for September 23, 2008 in Yakima.
Law enforcement technology vendors have agreed to sponsor the event. The attached appropriation
ordinance provides a funding source for the conference. All funds expended for this will be reimbursed
through vendor sponsorships.
