• In 2018, the City provided notice of its intent to exit the Regional Joint Information Network (RegJIN) hosted by the Portland Police Bureau following documented technical inefficiencies, projected cost increases, and Portland’s own indication that it intends to replace RegJIN in the near future;
• On September 24, 2018, City Council approved an amendment to the RegJIN Participant Intergovernmental Agreement, allowing for a month-by-month extension in RegJIN that expires on December 31, 2019;
• Following a robust, nationwide competitive procurement process, Mark43, Inc. (“Mark43”), a provider of an internet cloud-based RMS solution, was selected by the City’s RFP Evaluation Committee and Executive Steering Team as a replacement vendor for the City of Vancouver’s police record management services (“RMS”);
• Mark43 has delivered their project plan and has begun implementation of the replacement RMS, with an anticipated project completion in August of 2020.
• The Vancouver Police Department is seeking to renew the month-by-month extension, which would remain in place until the Mark43 system is made fully operational.

Goal 2, Objective 2.1: Provide reliable and responsive police, fire and EMS service.

On June 19, 2018, the City of Vancouver notified the RegJIN User Board of our intent to withdraw from RegJIN effective January 1, 2019.

The selection of the new RMS vendor (Mark43) occurred in 2018. After a comprehensive contract negotiations process with Mark43, implementation of the new system has begun. However, it will not be completed before our current agreement with RegJIN expires.

An extension in the RegJIN system is needed to maintain police RMS services until Mark43 is fully implemented.

Renewing the month-by-month extension allows the Vancouver Police Department to continue to use the current RMS (RegJIN) during the implementation of Mark43.
