Subcommittee/Agency/Account : Commerce, Justice, Science/U.S. Department of Justice/Community Oriented Policing Services – Technology and Equipment Project Name : Wake County Sheriff's Office Mobile Command Unit and Equipment Project Recipient : Wake County Sheriff’s Office Address : 330 S.

Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC 27601 Amount Requested : $1,462,500 Project Description : The Wake County Sheriff's office has requested a Mobile Command Center (MCC) vehicle and associated equipment to provide mobile space for unified responses in situations like tactical callouts, missing persons, homicides, and other circumstances where response time is critical.

The MCC will be driven to sites to coordinate responses and set up for as long as incidents require.

These assignments often require the involvement of several different law enforcement agencies and divisions. Signed Disclosure Letter here .

Subcommittee/Agency/Account : Commerce, Justice, Science/U.S. Department of Justice/Community Oriented Policing Services – Technology and Equipment Project Name : Wendell Police Department In-Car Camera Project Recipient : Town of Wendell Police Department Address : 409 Landing View Drive, Wendell, NC 27591 Amount Requested : $258,729 Project Description : The Town of Wendell requests $258,729 in community project funding for the police department in-car camera systems upgrade project.

The Wendell Police Department (WPD) currently deploys 19 Digital Ally in-car camera systems, however, 13 of the systems are out of the 5-year warranty period with the oldest system being from 2015. The antiquated systems continue to break, misplace video footage, and require extensive maintenance because of continuous equipment failure.

Moreover, to improve digital evidence management and storage, WPD wishes to move from a server-based to a cloud-based video storage solution. Cloud-based servers provide expanded storage capacity, redundancy, and seamless software integration. Currently, the server-based system does not provide backup or redundancy measures and provides limited storage capacity.

Funds will be used to decommission all current in-car cameras and acquire 20 new in-car cameras with cloud-based storage, installation, and warranties. Signed Disclosure Letter here .

Subcommittee/Agency/Account : Commerce, Justice, Science/U.S. Department of Commerce/National Institute of Standards and Technology – Scientific and Technical Research Services Project Name : Research of Emerging and Converging Wireless Technologies Recipient: The Wireless Research Center of North Carolina Address : 3331 Heritage Trade Drive, Suite 101, Wake Forest, NC 27587 Amount Requested : $3,500,000 Project Description : The Wireless Research Center (WRC) is requesting $3,500,000 for the acquisition of new equipment to expand its existing research and testing capabilities to evaluate a broader range of rapidly emerging wireless technologies and networks with an emphasis on the integration of critical, government, commercial, and proprietary technologies.

Subcommittee/Agency/Account : Commerce, Justice, Science/U.S. Department of Justice/Community Oriented Policing Services – Technology and Equipment Project Name : North Carolina Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Equipment Recipient: North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation Address : 3320 Garner Road, Raleigh, NC 27610 Amount Requested : $814,000 Project Description : This project's purpose will be to purchase critical technology tools including forensic software, servers, computers, portable storage, and polygraph equipment to assist law enforcement in identifying offenders and child victims of sexual abuse.

Over the years, NC’s ICAC task force has seen a steady decrease in federal funding from the OJJDP Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program. The decrease in funding has made it difficult for the task force to fund forensic software licenses and renewals. ICAC cases heavily involve forensic examinations.

As the funding continues to decrease, the cost for forensic software tools continues to increase. This funding would assist tremendously in ICAC investigations by renewing and improving the tools the task force needs to continue this important work. Signed Disclosure Letter here .

These assignments often require the involvement of several different law enforcement agencies and divisions.

Law enforcement officers can be faced with emergency incidents that can happen simultaneously, and when this happens, they must be prepared to keep our community and the public safe. Having an MCC available to the WCSO will make response time and ever-changing security situations more manageable. Signed Disclosure Letter here .
