FY2021 — 2022
Fiscal Year 2021-2022
FIBRS Implementation Assistance Program, Second Opportunity:
Support for Local Law Enforcement Agencies
Applications Due: November 30, 2021
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) received authority to administer an estimated $6
million to Florida law enforcement agencies to assist in the financial burden of transitioning to the
technological requirements of the Florida Incident Based Reporting Project. After the initial applications
were received, an estimated $3 million remains. The new deadline to apply is November 30, 2021.
Funds under this program may be used for activities related to implementing incident -based reporting at
your agency. Examples include, but are not limited to:
• Overtime for project staff;
• Equipment or supplies required for system upgrades;
• Training; and/or
• Procurement contracts for services such as data migration, system configuration, and/or
consulting.
Instructions
The completed application packet must be emailed to CJISfunding@fdle.state.fl.us by November 30, 2021
to be considered for funding. Applications will be reviewed and scored using the evaluation tool located
as Appendix B in the application packet. After the deadline, awards for this second opportunity will be
determined.
Eligibility
FDLE welcomes applications from any Florida law enforcement agency, applications from third -party
entities supporting the transition of eligible agencies, and multiple entity applications.
Note: Special consideration may be given to applications from agencies not already submitting FIBRS or
Use -of -Force data; from multiple agencies or an entity representing multiple agencies; and for agencies
transitioning to the Statewide RMS system (SWRMS).
Project Period
Grants are awarded for the state fiscal year period, beginning July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2022. These
awards cannot be extended. Any unused funds afterJune 30, 2022 will be reverted to the state. Extension
of awards is contingent upon legislative approval for continuation of program funding into the next state
fiscal year.
State Transparency
Section 215.985, F.S., makes the Department of Financial Services (DFS) responsible for the development
and maintenance of a contract reporting system, the Florida Accountability Contract Tracking System
(FACTS). State law requires all agreements (contracts, purchase orders and grants for state or federal
financial assistance) to be entered in this transparency system and made available for public access.
FDLE provides all state financial assistance grant agreements to the Florida Accountability and Contract
Tracking (FACTS) system, including original contract and amendment document images and payment
information. Agreements containing information statutorily exempt from public records could qualify for
partial or complete exemption from FACTS. Please contact CJIS for additional information, to determine
whether an agreement would be exempt, and to obtain instructions on the requirements for requesting
an exemption.
Reporting Requirements
Performance
Performance reports must be submitted within 15 days of the end of each month. Failure to submit
reports by the deadline will delay reimbursement of funds.
Financial
Financial reports are due monthly within 30 days after the end of each month. The final financial report
is due by Thursday, July 30, 2022. Final reconciliation and closeout of the agreement must be completed
by both parties within forty-five (45) days of the end of the grant period.
Payments
Grant funds are distributed on a cost -reimbursement basis for eligible activities. The final approved grant
agreement details all invoicing and documentation requirements. The recipient shall provide a monthly
claim report to FDLE detailing all grant related expenditures. The claim reports serve as the request for
payment. Only expenditures in the approved grant budget may be paid from the agreement.
Payments are processed in conjunction with the receipt and review of programmatic performance reports
and supporting documentation. Additionally, the request and any corresponding supporting
documentation must evidence the completion of all tasks required to be performed for the associated
deliverable, including minimum performance standards established in the agreement.
Monitoring
Recipients of FDLE grant funds are required to establish and maintain effective internal control over the
award that provides reasonable assurance the recipient is managing the award in compliance with
statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the grant agreement. The recipient must maintain
effective control over all funds, property, and assets, and assure they are used solely for authorized
purposes.

activities, milestones, deliverables, and timeline.
For the complete response, please refer to Attachment I,
Part II: Problem Identification, Question #2.
Briefly describe any anticipated project constraints or obstacles and how you plan to overcome
them.
The primary obstacle is that legacy computer hardware for the police department is outdated and
does not meet the minimum operating requirements suggested by the vendor in order to be FIBRS
compliant. Due to their age, drivers are no longer available for the physical components of the machines
causing them to not work properly. As a potential solution, the MPD was anticipating moving to a
Virtualized desktop environment; however, there were issues identified with the USB pass -through which
prevented Officers from printing documents (e.g., citations, reports, etc.) from their machines, making
this route unfeasible at this time. To overcome this challenge, MPD has devised a temporary solution
which would require to temporarily image the legacy machines which are out of support, using Windows
LTSB. LTSB is a slimmed down operating system which works and is still receiving security updates
from Microsoft. In this way, we can complete FIBRS acceptance testing in anticipation of installing the
Patrol Car Console Solutions. The secondary obstacle is the lack of staffing hours within MPD's
Information Technology Section (IT). It will take a significant amount of hours to reimage the computers.
Since the IT staff is salaried, overtime cannot be offered for re -imaging.
The solution to both these obstacles is to get the Patrol Car Console Solutions installed after MPD's
acceptance testing is completed. From there, MPD's RMS system can be fully FIBRS-compliant.

5. In the past two years, has your agency received a grant extension?
V Yes No If yes, please describe the circumstances.
Yes, the City of Miami Police Department (MPD) did request some extensions for
unforeseen related issues with a delay in receiving a permit and Covid-19 related
issues that delayed some of our other grant projects.
6. In the past two years, has your agency met all previous award program
objectives?
Yes ✓ No If no, please describe the circumstances.
The City of Miami Police Department (MPD) has met all previous awarded program objectives and successful
complete the projects, with the exception of the FY 2020 FIBRS grant project due to unforeseen issues with the
implementation of the system upgrades.
The timeline for MPD's transition to NIBRS and FIBRS compliance was based on the police department's ability
to go live with the new version of PremierOne. However, external circumstances occurred that delayed the
transition process and the project was not able to be completed as originally stated. FIBRS requirements from
FDLE were provided at end of 2020, although the project period started a few months before. Around
February/March 2021, Motorola advised that an update to our system would be required to report FIBRS per the
requirements received from FDLE. Then MPD initiated the process to start the update by May 2021. Due to
logistics issues from the global chip shortage in 2020-2021, shipping was delayed. The actual hardware was
delayed until late August 2021. Therefore, this pushed back testing beyond the required grant period.
7. Does your agency have any outstanding conditions from previous awards?
✓ Yes No If yes, please describe the circumstances.
The City of Miami Police Department (MPD) fulfilled all the outstanding conditions
from previous awards, except for last year's FIBRS grant program due to unforeseen
issues with the implementation of the system upgrades.

FLORIDA SINGLE AUDIT ACT CHECKLIST FOR NONSTATE ORGANIZATIONS -
RECIPIENT/SUBRECIPIENT VS. VENDOR DETERMINATION
Ffu1ab1ej0rm. Click in the applicable Word table cells (shaded areas) to enter the requested information.
State agencies must use the Florida Single Audit Act State Project Determination Checklist (Form DFS-
A2-PD) to evaluate the applicability of the Florida Single Audit Act (FSAA) to a state program (i.e., the
program is a state project as defined in section 215.97(2), Florida Statutes (F.S.)). If the state agency has
not completed the required Form DFS-A2-PD, complete it before beginning the recipient/subrecipient vs.
vendor determination for the nonstate organization.
For each nonstate organization receiving state project resources, the state agencies, recipients, and
subrecipients disbursing such resources must complete this Florida Single Audit Act Checklist for Nonstate
Organizations - Recipient/Subrecipient vs. Vendor Determination (Checklist). Completion of this
Checklist assists state agencies, recipients, and subrecipients in evaluating the applicability of the FSAA to
the nonstate organization and in determining whether the nonstate organization is a recipient or subrecipient
or a vendor.
When a recipient or subrecipient relationship is determined to exist, state agencies, recipients, and
subrecipients must include in the document that establishes the recipient or subrecipient relationship with
the nonstate entity the applicable audit requirements referenced in Audit Requirements for Awards of State
and Federal Financial Assistance, Form DFS-A2-CL, including Exhibit 1. State agency program personnel
are responsible for notifying the state agency's finance and accounting office of awards to nonstate entities.
Disbursements of state financial assistance to those nonstate entities must be coded in the Florida
Accounting and Information Resource (FLAIR) system as object code 7510.

is a nonstate entity subject to the FSAA, unless the FSAA has been determined as not applicable in Part A
above.
If all the answers to Part B, Questions 1 through 5, above are No, the nonstate organization is a vendor and
is not subject to the FSAA. Characteristics indicative of a procurement relationship between the state
agency and a vendor are when the nonstate organization: (a) provides the goods and services within normal
business operations; (b) provides similar goods or services to many different purchasers; (c) normally
operates in a competitive environment; (d) provides goods or services that are ancillary to the operation of
the state project; and (e) is not subject to compliance requirements of the state project as a result of the
contract or agreement, though similar requirements may apply for other reasons.

Attachment I
Part II: Problem Identification
1. Describe your agency's current capabilities to submit incident -based reporting.
The City of Miami Police Department (MPD) is in the process of changing its
methodology of reporting crime from its previous reporting process, Uniform Crime
Reporting (UCR) Program, to the new national industry standard, National Incident -Based
Reporting System (NIBRS) and FIBRS. MPD currently uses Motorola PremierOne Records
Management System (RMS) version 4.4 which only reports UCR data. In order to be FIBRS-
compliant, the 4.6 version of the RMS system is required.
MPD already initiated the transition to the 4.6 version and contracted Motorola
Solutions Inc. as the software provider. Motorola has completed their end of acceptance
testing. Thus far, MPD installed updated servers for FIBRS reporting and is conducting
their part of the acceptance testing to verify Motorola's testing outcomes. The servers
host the application to update MPD's entire records system, including updates to CAD
and RMS systems.
MPD police officers will be the ones to enter the data into the FIBRS-compliant
reporting system. The reporting software has the ability to ensure the correct data is
being entered into the correct field. The Records Unit will then review the reports for
completeness and is responsible for submitting the data monthly. However, MPD patrol
cars are underequipped and have several outdated devices, such as laptops, that are
beyond end -of -life, and cannot handle the necessary updates to run the software needed
to transition to FIBRS. If we had the correct mobile hardware, MPD would have the
capability of being FIBRS compliant once all acceptance testing is completed.
Therefore, MPD is requesting $213,084 in funding for 108 Patrol Car Console Solutions
(Consoles) and the installation of this equipment into their cars. The Consoles include DeX
Touch Screens, Keyboards and Mounting Kits. The Consoles will act as a mobile hardware
system with the capability to support the 4.6 version of the RMS system. The Patrol Car
Consoles will work with smartphones and give them DEX capabilities which transforms
the interface on the smartphones into something closer to a Windows PC or Mac desktop.
Officers will be able to connect to their productivity software using two factor
authentications. These vehicle specific consoles attach directly to or replace existing
console mounts for easy installation. The Patrol Car Console Solutions will help MPD get
to a place where older, end -of life machinery that will not easily support the transition,
will be eliminated and allow us to utilize newer laptops in conjunction with the DeX
system to get FIBRS compliant. MPD has acquired 423 Consoles via other grant funding.
With the additional 108 Consoles, MPD will be able to equip 531 patrol cars with FIBRS-
compliant hardware and software.
At a minimum, the City of Miami Police Department will meet the FDLE technical
specifications for the FIBRS Project that will require local agencies to demonstrate that
their RMS is capable of submitting data for FIBRS, Use -of -Force, and the Florida specific
data elements.
2. Briefly describe your agency's transition plan for incident -based reporting.
Include planned activities, milestones, deliverables, and timeline.
Motorola completed acceptance testing on their part, making sure functionality works
as it should before updating to the new 4.6 version. MPD is now doing its part of
acceptance testing to verify the Vendor's (Motorola) testing outcomes. Acceptance
testing must be completed before the Patrol Console Solutions can be installed. While the
testing will not be supported by FDLE funding, it is included in the timeline, as it is an
integral part of MPD's transition plan to FIBRS incident -based reporting.

Part III: Scope of Work
3. Equipment Yes 0 No
Amount Allocated: $213,084
If yes, explain correlation to incident -based reporting.
The Patrol Console Solutions will allow the end users to use the PremierOne RMS
version 4.6 which is required to report FIBRS. The DeX touchscreens, keyboards and
mounting kits are necessary to give full functionality to the Consoles and smartphones
officers will be equipped with to provide full conferencing/reporting capabilities.
Versatile functionality is built into the design of the touchscreens, such as an
integrated USB port allowing easy access for software updates. Keyboards come with
a rugged, compact design for long-term use, with internal Bluetooth and can be turned
into a wired USB keyboard when necessary. Mounting kits have a hinged arm design
which allows for quick access to vital equipment. Installation includes removal of the
current laptop mounting systems and installation of the DeX hardware. The City of
Miami will utilize the existing vendor for the previous acquisition of the Patrol Console
Solutions or will procure a new vendor as applicable and in compliance with State and
City procurement regulations.
