Scope of Work Interview Management and Recording Contract for Ft Campbell CID Battalion Project Numbers:

Date: # April ####

1. General: The 502D CID BN has received funding from its higher Headquarters (3RD Group CID) to purchase and install standardized Interview Recording and Management System (IRMS) in order to be in compliance with CID Regulation 195-1 Ch. 5.8. United States Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC) has mandated during its annual Criminalistics Committee meetings that CaseCracker will be the standard interview system utilized across the command. The reason for this is wide disparity among systems in CID offices and the problems that result in playback of recorded interviews. The U.S. Army Crime Records Center (USACRC) has been receiving recorded interviews they are unable to play due to the interview system having proprietary software that precludes viewing without the proper program. This issue has also created problems with supported Trial Counsels and Commanders viewing interviews on their computers. The CaseCracker systems must provide:

· Digitally record audio and video interviews and interrogations that document crucial testimonial evidence, particularly in cases where there is little or no physical evidence;

· Provide an authentic record of the interview/interrogation by preserving the event with a recording that includes both audio and video;

· Improve the investigator’s ability to focus on the interview/interrogation by reducing the need for prolonged delays in questioning for the purpose of note taking;

· Assist investigators and attorneys to ensure more accurate testimony;

· Allow more than one investigator to watch the interrogation in real time in order to relay suggestions to the interviewer, and;

· Facilitate continuous improvement by providing a means to review interviews / interrogations for training and evaluation purposes.
