BACKGROUND: The Fayetteville Police Department is a full-time Task Force partner of HSI and has a digital forensic examiner assigned to the HSI ICAC Task Force. We requested federal funds to purchase a new Talino KA -101 forensic computer system for use at the HSI ICAC Task Force and received approval from the HSI New Orleans office in the amount of $8,077. DISCUSSION: The forensic computer is used to image, process, and store digital evidence. Fayetteville's existing Forensic Recovery of Evidence Device (FRED) DX system used on the Task Force is outdated and incapable of effectively imaging and processing the amounts of data currently encountered. BUDGETISTAFF IMPACT: Approval of this budget adjustment will increase both revenue and expense in the amount of $8,077. There is no staffing impact associated with this budget adjustment.
