DALEY CENTER, CHICAGO, IL 60602 MICHAEL F. SHEAHAN SHERIFF 18 August 1999 CABS Participants Re: CABS Intergovernmental Agreement Enclosed is an executed copy of the intergovernmental agreement between your municipality and the County of Cook for the provision of Criminal Apprehension and Booking System equipment and related services. This agreement was approved by the Cook County Board of Commissioners 4 August 1999. To date, fifty-one Live-Scan systems have been installed throughout Cook County. Most of systems are connected to the Bureau of Identification using the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority's ALECS system. We expect to begin installing the remaining departments in September. Ameritech has begun the final phase of the installation of the new Cook County wide area computer network. Once the network is completed, NEC engineers will begin installing the remaining Live-Scan equipment. Those of you who are ALECS users will migrate to the new Cook County network by 1 January 2000. Movement to the network will facilitate the use of the new CHRIS software and provide direct access to the criminal history records of the Chicago Police Department. Suburban police agencies will be able to print Chicago criminal history records at their arrest-booking terminal as well as access the new digital mugshot system of the Illinois State Police. Both of which are significant improvements for the Cook County law-enforcement community. Thank you for participating with the Cook County Sheriff's Office in this worthy project.

Scheduling, installation, and training in the use of the equipment will be coordinated by our CABS Unit. The training will be required to obtain maximum utilization of this equipment and achieve our common goal of positive identification with rapid response. You will soon be notified of a joint meeting in your district, at which NEC will provide a comprehensive overview of the system.
