Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved a $18,780 software license to help police investigate stolen goods more efficiently. Currently, officers must manually collect pawn shop records when tracking down stolen items, but this two-year system will create an online database where pawn shops upload transaction details and police can quickly search for recovered property. This is a routine technology upgrade that modernizes how the police department handles property crime investigations.
