WHEREAS the Michigan State Police under the direction of the State of Michigan has recently
mailed out invoices to all local law enforcement agencies charging an "access, use and
dissemination of Criminal Justice Information System (CJ1S) information" for the Law
Enforcement Information Network (LEIN), and
WHEREAS this action was taken after the CJIS Policy Council was recently eliminated by
Executive Order thus eliminating any local input; and
WHEREAS it is anticipated that such fees are another avenue for the State of Michigan to assess
local units of government a tax for a service that is already funded by local tax dollars; and

Michigan, has always supported the Criminal Justice System and;

agencies which are affected by this issue; and
WHEREAS many of these governmental entities, as well as Oakland County, are facing and will
face substantial financial challenges due to reductions in property tax and other revenues, as well
as rapidly escalating costs; and
WHEREAS the action taken by the Michigan State Police will be detrimental to the local economy
of the region as well as the safety of its residents; and
WHEREAS it is incumbent upon community leaders to be proactive in addressing public safety.
but be willing to work in a collaborative manner to produce a plan with the State of Michigan to
resolve this issue; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Association of Chiefs of Police and the Sheriff have united and
have agreed there is a need to identify current and future needs and assessments by the
Michigan State Police for CJIS/LEIN and all should be a party to those discussions;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
urges, the State of Michigan and the Michigan State Police to reconsider their policy on billing
iocal agencies for the "access, use and dissemination of CJ1S information".
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the
Governor and the Michigan Legislature to examine this issue and ensure that both expenditures
and revenues be considered before local agencies are charged for this service.
