BOUCHARD Memorandum To: Captain Quisenberry CC: Lt. B. Wilson From: D/Sgt. J. DeRosia Date: 6/21/2017 Re: Computer Crimes Unit replacement equipment Sir, The Computer Crimes Unit is reaching the end of life cycle for quite a few pieces of equipment in the lab. Three Forensic Recovery of Evidence (FRED) computers are nearing the 6 year old mark and are displaying signs of failure. The operating systems are outdated as well as their architecture. These run 24 hours a day nearly 365 days a year and are continually put through the rigors and demands of computer forensic examinations. They are quality machines but 5 years is usually the life cycle of a computer in this type of environment. The investigative laptops that are used by all members of the unit are also outdated and have functions or parts that are not in working order. These laptops are 6 years old and are used for investigations, writing reports, processing video and images, as well as many other critical forensic operations within the unit. We are also requesting Microsoft Office and antivirus software as well as hard drives and battery backups which will be needed with the replacement equipment. I am requesting this replacement equipment in advance of any catastrophic failure and downtimes which we cannot afford at this time. 1201 N TELEGRAPH RD • PONTIAC MI 48341-1044 4. 248/858-5008 We request the following replacement equipment now due to equipment failure: 1 - FRED Computers 10 - Hard drives 6 TB 5- Microsoft Office software 5- Antivirus software 4- ASUS laptop computers Total $8,099.00 $2,939.90 $857.09 $228.51 $4,796.00 $16,920.50 We would request the following in October of 2017 due to aging equipment and impending failure: 2- FRED Computers 2— Battery Backups 2- Microsoft Office software 2- Antivirus software Total $16,198.00 $419.98 $342.83 $91,41 $17,052.22 Respectfully, Sergeant Jerry DeRosia #216 1201 N TELEGRAPH RD • PONTIAC MI 48341-1044 • 248/858-5008 Resolution #17213 July 19, 2017 The Chairperson referred the resolution to the Finance Committee.
