566429 Real Time Crime Center 2024 "A real time crime center processes multiple data sources such as video, sensors, alarms and utilizes analytics to provide a single operational perspective as an incident is developing . The real time crime center allows the sharing of critical information with first responders at the time when they need it most. A real time crime center offers first responders the ability to approach an incident or investigation with more operational intelligence than is currently available. The center would provide tools to identify and distribute relevant video and information to our first responders in the field. The ability to access disparate data sources from a single computer console yields the greatest amount of information in the shortest amount of time, which allows responders to process the information. This ability would allow GRPD personnel to make more informed decisions about how to best respond to, stabilize and investigate complex, rapidly evolving, and dynamic incidents. The initial expenditure would include the main components and modules from which the GRPD could build upon in the future. Funding would take place from dollars set aside in the Capital Reserve Fund." 300000 65 Not Started

How to Read a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Business Development?

When a city, municipality or state issues a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP),  it can be overwhelming and daunting, but there are a few key things you need to investigate. Let’s start with the definition of CIP - A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) contains all the individual capital projects, equipment purchases, and major studies for a local government; in conjunction with construction and completion schedules, and in consort with financing plans. The plan provides a working blueprint for sustaining and improving the community’s infrastructures. It coordinates strategic planning, financial capacity, and physical development. A CIP stands at the epicenter of a government’s Planning, Public Works, and Finance departments. When a CIP is issued, it typically includes the following information:

  1. A listing of the capital projects or equipment to be purchased
  2. The projects ranked in order of preference
  3. The plan for financing the projects
  4. A timetable for the construction or completion of the project
  5. Justification for the project
  6. Explanation of expenses for the project
Now, for business development, while the capital plan is interesting, the capital program is for capital expenditures that extends five to ten years beyond the capital budget.  Knowing the difference is important so you can influence upcoming program versus just responding to an RFP.
