Re: Automated Citation Management

Commissioner Jerry Cassity
The Polk County Sheriffs Office has received a generous donation in the amount of $25,456.00
from the Alabama Coushatta Tribal Council to support the purchase of an automated citation
management system, including ticket writers and the associated operating software.
The Sheriffs Office proposes to allocate $10,000.00 from asset forfeiture funds toward the
purchase of ten (10) ticket writer software packages with printers. The remaining costs will be
supported through existing and future funding.
The system carries an ongoing annual cost of $15,345.00, which can be incorporated into the
Sheriffs Office operating budget in future fiscal years.
This technology will improve efficiency, accuracy, and record management for citation
processing and will enhance overall operational effectiveness.

The Sheriff is requesting this item be placed on the Commissioner's Court agenda for February 10th. The
Sheriff's Office has worked with the Maintenance Department to obtain a quote for the construction of an
office within the CID area of the Sheriffs Office to support evidence processing. This project will create
additional office space for future personnel expansion and include the installation of a glass entry door to
the CID Division, allowing the area to be secured during case briefings.
Currently, two state employees are assigned to the Sheriffs Office, with a third expected to join soon. These
state employees are a valuable asset in combating crime in Polk County, as they provide access to analytical
resources and equipment not otherwise available to the Sheriffs Office.
A quote has been received from DP FCI Construction in the amount of $21,798.77. An initial upfront
payment of$10,899.39 for materials will be issued to the contractor with $10,899.38 remaining to be paid
upon completion. This expense will be paid from the Sheriffs Office asset forfeiture line item and will
result in no cost to taxpayers. In addition to supporting future growth, this project will enhance privacy and
security within the CID Division for preparation on major cases.
