Adopted 2017 Annual Operating & Capital Improvement Budget

DETECTIVE SERVICES
Variance Justification
Purchased Services (+$4,665):
Professional Services (+$5,015): Private companies, especially cell phone providers are requiring
fees to provide records and information needed for prosecutions which were previously obtained
without cost. We anticipate that this trend and this cost will continue to increase in time. The cost for
Sexual Assault Nurse Examinations (SANE) kits has increased, the associated cost increase for these
services is $2,040. The Victim assistance monthly meetings and appreciation for the volunteers
increased $150. The investigations department hosts several meetings throughout the year and the
cost to host these meetings has increased $100. Callyo Technology is the latest technology to allow
detectives to more efficiently investigate crimes. The technology replaces our current and outdated
'body bug' system by utilizing current cell phone technology which can be monitored by multiple other
detectives and is recorded and documented as evidence for prosecution and court proceedings. The
Callyo Technology costs $2,750.
Supplies / Non-Capital Equipment (+$875):
Operating Supplies (+$875): The variance is the result of rising costs associated with fingerprint kits.
