Item 1. One of the biggest challenges for the MPD is providing police officers and support personnel with adequate
resources to perform their duties. It is the goal of the MPD to provide its employees with the technology and equipment
necessary to enhance and improve their performance on an everyday basis. The addition of laptop computers to the
vehicles provided to these PSAs will not only improve their productivity, but also increase the accuracy and speed in
which they obtain vital information. For example, with the use of the laptops, PSAs would not only be able to write
accident and incident reports, but would also be able to transmit the reports to headquarters resulting in a decrease in
delays when making reports available to the public. The acquisition of new computers and software technology will
provide PSAs with state of the art equipment to facilitate their work while improving their work conditions.
