Purchase of NCIC Interface for CAD System

Seeking permission to move forward with this purchase from Southern Software prior to the end of the calendar year. If purchased prior to the end of the year the City will save $1,500.00 dollars due to a 25% discount being offered for 2013.

This will be automatic behind the scene function which will save valuable time when dealing with criminal activities.
