FUNDING THROUGH THIS REQUEST WILL BE USED TO PURCHASE A POWEREDGE R360 RACK SERVER. SPECIFICALLY, THIS SERVER WILL BE USED FOR THE REAL TIME CRIME CENTER, A NEW ENTITY OF THE BALDWIN COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE THAT IS BEING CONSTRUCTED. REAL-TIME CRIME CENTERS PROVIDE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WITH THE ABILITY TO RESPOND QUICKLY OR IMMEDIATELY TO CRIMES IN PROGRESS OR CRIMES THAT HAVE OCCURRED RECENTLY. BALDWIN COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE NEEDS A BACKUP SERVICE TO ENSURE THE CONTINUITY OF EMERGENCY-RELATED SERVICES.
