October 11, 2009 Jeff Lees Chair of the Port Hope Police Services Board The Municipality of Port Hope/Police Services Board 56 Queen Street South Port Hope, Ontario L1A 3Z9 Subject: Communications & Information Technology Review Westin Project Number – 30205 Final Report Dear Mr. Lees: Westin Engineering, Inc. is pleased to submit the final report of the Communications & Information Technology (IT) Review of the Port Hope Police Services Board (PHPSB). As the PHPSB embarks on delivering and implementing its 2009-2011 Business Plan, there are a number of recommendations for the Board’s consideration. These recommendations have been developed with input and comments from PHPS staff during the review. The review included a complete inventory and condition assessment of the communications and IT assets, a life cycle analysis of these assets, and a review of the current frontline officer’s work flow or business process. As with the responsible management of any asset, the challenges faced today cannot be addressed through a one-time fix, but rather through a sustained commitment. The era of simply purchasing and operating IT assets no longer exists. The practice of “run-to-failure” is no longer acceptable for today’s critical operations and service delivery. Today’s organizations must manage their Communications and IT assets more proactively, as they are stewards of these assets and are entrusted by the public to do so. The life cycle of technology assets is dynamic, and varies not only with the age of the equipment itself, but is also impacted by the ways they interact with other systems. Moving forward, it is important that all levels of the organization are engaged in defining the appropriate practices of life cycle management, and that the tools and systems are available to support this vital business practice. As technology ages and/or is replaced with newer, more sophisticated technology, the need to manage communications and information technology assets becomes even more critical. Good business practices start with knowledge of the equipment and systems, their uses and applications, and how they facilitate service delivery. Westin deeply appreciates the opportunity to work with you on the review of your Communications and Information Technology. We hope to continue to support the PHPSB and the Municipality of Port Hope, and look forward to future opportunities to work together.

Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 iii October 11, 2009 1. Introduction Westin Engineering, Inc. (Westin) was retained by the Port Hope Police Services Board (PHPSB) to complete a Communications and Information Technology (IT) Review of the equipment and systems used by the organization. PHPSB recognizes as technology ages, becomes redundant, and/or is replaced with newer, more sophisticated technology, the need to manage communications and information technology assets becomes even more critical. Good business practices start with knowing what equipment and systems are in place, how they are used, and how they facilitate business practices. This report reviews and summarizes the equipment and systems used by the PHPS, and takes a life cycle approach and analysis to manage the replacement schedule of these assets. In addition, the report provides recommendations for communication and IT improvement projects, based on our findings during the onsite field investigations and our firm understanding of Industry Best Practices. The findings and recommendations may eventually be incorporated into the PHPSB budgeting process. This report also summarizes the communications and information technology requirements for the short(1-to-5 year) and long-term (6-to-10 year) Capital and Operating & Maintenance Budgets. 2. Overall Recommendations The PHPS staff is knowledgeable and understands its Communications and Information Technologyrelated assets. The PHPSB should continue to focus on improving its customer service by “managing for value,” i.e., doing the right things, the right way, in areas of asset and contract management; desktop and mobile computing; network management; radio infrastructure management; data centre and storage management; enterprise portfolio and project management; implementation and integration of enterprise application solutions; and security management, while moving toward best practice in information technology governance. As the PHPSB implements its 2009-2011 Business Plan, the following general recommendations, offered in addition to the specific projects identified later in the report, should be incorporated into the overall work plan: • Designate in the Short- and Long-Term Capital Budgets, $101, 209 and $118,155 respectively, for the replacement of existing Communications and IT assets • Designate $269,940 for capital improvement projects as outlined in this report. • Designate $43,746 for capital improvement projects service charges as outlined in this report. • Designate $16,000 for staff training as outlined in this report. • Designate $350,000 for RMS software as outlined in this report. • Designate $197,179 for preventative maintenance as outlined in this report. • Designate $378,309 for telecommunications service provider charges as outlined in this report. • Designate a grand total of $1,508,358 for Short- and Long-Term Asset Replacement Costs, Capital Improvement Projects Costs, Capital Improvement Projects Service Charges, Training, RMS Software Costs, Preventative Maintenance Costs and Telecommunication Service Provider Charges (from 2010 through 2019, inclusive) • Review all policies and procedures, update them, and post them in electronic format, on the PHPS intranet • Develop Communications and IT equipment standards to facilitate the future procurement or lease of technology assets Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 1 October 11, 2009 • Continue to deliver on planned and scheduled software releases through OPTIC and CPIC. Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 2 October 11, 2009 3. Background 3.1 Port Hope Police Services Port Hope Police Service provides coverage to the area bounded in the north by Highway 401 and to the south by Lake Ontario, and in the east by Hamilton Road and in the west by Toronto Road. Port Hope is a hybrid police municipality with the PHPS responsible for Ward One, and with the Ontario Provincial Police, Northumberland detachment, responsible for Ward Two. This review was therefore limited to Ward One. PHPS are responsible following core services: for providing • crime prevention & education • emergency response • investigation • victim assistance • law enforcement • counter-terrorism. the Figure 1: Service Area of PHPS The PHPS employs 25 sworn police officers. This number includes the Chief of Police, Deputy Chief, 3 sergeants, 18 patrol officers, 1 community services officer, 1 media relations/property stores officer, and 1 part-time escort/court security officer. There are 21 civilians who provide support services such as communicators (9), clerical (2), parking By-Law enforcement (2) and freedom of information (6). The PHPS headquarters is located at 230 Walton Street and houses the communications center. Civilian communicator volunteers are responsible for dispatching the police and local fire department, as well as the Port Hope Public Works-Animal Control and a large number of township fire departments. Typically, a shift consists of three (3) officers on patrol and one (1) shift supervisor, each assigned a vehicle. Officers remain in contact with the dispatch centre either by two-way radio or cellular phone. As the patrolling area, Ward One, is small, no officer is more than five (5) minutes away from the station. Most, if not all, paperwork is completed at the station. 3.2 Approach and Methodology A complete life cycle assessment of existing technology infrastructure was completed. The project commenced with a kick-off meeting where the scope of work and deliverables when confirmed with the PHPSB members. A Microsoft Access asset database was constructed for the inventory and assessment of the hardware/software and network infrastructure. During the onsite field investigations, our team reviewed the current communications and IT hardware/software installations and identified areas of improvement based on our extensive experience, Industry Best Practices and regulatory requirements. All improvement projects have been included in the proposed capital budgets. The review also took into account the current and future functional business requirements and attempted to identify areas of frontline work flow improvement through a series of workshops. Westin has developed short- (1-5 year) and long-term (6-10 year) budgets for the PHPSB. These budgets provide a strategic approach to the investment in information technology and related infrastructure. Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 3 October 11, 2009 3.3 Software and Databases The PHPS relies on its investment in information technology and telecommunication resources to deliver a variety of services from frontline policing and specialized investigations, through to the many vital administrative support functions. To a large degree today, information technology is a cornerstone in policing operations and business processes and is critical to fulfilling the vision of the PHPS. Communications and Information Technology is shaped in response to the needs of communities and citizens, frontline personnel, investigative staff, and PHPS policing partners. Technology at the PHPS is mainly driven by the Ontario Police Technology Information Cooperative (OPTIC) and by the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC). OPTIC includes 8,287 officers: 2,894 from 43 municipal police agencies in Ontario and 5,393 from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), all sharing a single Niche RMS installation. OPTIC is the largest datasharing cooperative in North America. Secure electronic identification and authentication of all personnel requesting criminal information and the secure conveyance of information over any network are required. Niche RMS is a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) records management system that provides a state-ofthe-art automated system and data network. This application was chosen because of its multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional, full-function capabilities, as well as ease of use and flexibility. The software is provided by OPTIC at a reported cost of $1,000 per year per user; at 35 users, the annual cost is $35,000. The cost of the server and operating system is and will continue to be the responsibility of the PHPSB. PHPS dispatch is currently using Intergraph’s Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system to provide dispatch operators with the tools they need to field calls, create and update incidents, and manage the officers on duty by providing real-time interaction of crucial data. Combined with historical and local searches, operators are ensured the right information is available when making urgent decisions with the CAD System. Most workstations/terminals allow officers access to highly restricted databases, such as those maintained by CPIC, Niche Records Management, InfoPol, Sex/Criminal Offender Registry (SOR), Major Case Management System (MCM), and Automated Criminal Intelligence Information System (ACIIS). The Operating System used on all machines is Windows XP;Norton antivirus enterprise edition is included. Currently, PHPS receive third-party support from MicroAge, a technical support team that ensures the overall system remains efficient and secure. Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 4 October 11, 2009 3.4 Existing Network The current IT network consists of 17 workstations, 8 servers, and 5 laptops. Four new blackberries have been added in the last year. Almost every workstation has its own dedicated printer. In a few cases, workstations share a networked printer. Internet and e-mail access is provided by Bell Canada through a dedicated Cisco 877 DSL Router. A firewall has been put in place between the Bell router and the LAN to monitor and prevent unauthorized access. There are two 24-port switches on the LAN off the firewall. One of the switches is connected to the firewall, with the second switch connected to the first switch. The first switch uses 15 of 24 ports, and the second switch uses 23 of 24 ports. The police services servers and workstation are connected to these two switches. There is a third ACIIS 16-port switch off the firewall for the ACIIS server. The ACIIS switch also has an outside connection to the government network though a Telus router. The Telus router has an analogue modem connected to it for remote dial-up maintenance access. The firewall is managed and maintained by MicroAge. MicroAge provides maintenance once a week and ensures the integrity of the firewall. Figure 2: Current Port Hope Police Services Board Network Architecture Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 5 October 11, 2009 3.5 Existing Phone System The current phone system consists of a Nortel Norstar Modular ICS, two (2) fibre trunk modules (M12X0) with four (4) analog line cartridges and a call pilot 100 for voicemail. All components are still being produced and sold by Nortel with no plans for discontinuing the product line. Nortel has been selling the Norstar Modular ICS unit since 1994 and it is still one of their best-selling units. There are currently 16 phone lines in use with available space for an additional 8 lines. For each additional 4 lines a new analog line cartridge (model NT7B75GA-93) would need to be procured at an estimated cost of $200. Each additional phone line would require activation and a Bell service fee of approximately $40 per month. The system presently accommodates 40 voicemail boxes. All police staff have their own dedicated voicemail box, 32 are in use as of today. The telephone system is capable of redirecting calls to specific phones located in the police department. For phones dedicated to individual staff members, the phone has been configured such that they can access their voicemail directly through their assigned phone. The Norstar system is currently on its own individual UPS. If there were a power failure the phone system would remain operational until the standby generator is up and running. The recommendation is to put the phone system on the Area UPS which is proposed in section 6.1. Figure 3: Telephone System There are currently 4 Blackberries and 5 cell phones. The cell phones are shared amongst on-duty officers with one cell phone dedicated to dispatch. PHPS has recently changed its cell phone plan with Bell Mobility. At the time this report was written, the police department had yet to receive their first cell phone bill. As a result, an analysis of the appropriateness of the cell phone plan could not be performed. Since monthly fees were not available, through consultation with PHPS it was decided to use an annual cost of $8000. PHPS should review its bills on a monthly basis to determine whether there is a more appropriate plan since fluctuations in the monthly cell phone bill will occur based on long-distance usage and minutes used. The landline service is Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 6 October 11, 2009 currently $25,000 per year. Therefore, a total of $33,000 is used in this report to represent Telecomm Service Charges ($8000 for cell phone and $25,000 for landline services). 4. Capital Replacement Budget 4.1 Communications and IT Asset Replacement Budget A complete inventory of Communications and IT assets was conducted; the information is compiled in an electronic database placed on CD in the Appendix of this report. This dataset was used to develop and identify the short- and long-term replacement needs of the existing Communications and IT infrastructure. The short-term replacement needs are considered to be required in the next five (5) years, from 2010 to 2014, Table 1: Replacement Budget 2010-2019 while the long-term needs are beyond this period from Replacement + Project 2015 to 2019. While the sum of the current value of the Cost (2009 $'s) Communications and IT Assets is $122,629. (2009 2010 $38,805 dollars), the total recommended replacement program is 2011 $11,350 $219,184 (Table 1). 2012 $9,150 The projected replacement year of these assets is based 2013 $35,239 on the Expected Service Life (ESL) of each asset. The 2014 $6,485 ESL for an asset has been based on Industry Best Subtotal $101,029 Practices and manufacturer’s recommendations. The asset’s purchase date was determined by one of the 2015 $38,100 following methods: equipment’s warranty start date; 2016 $16,500 manufacturer’s build date; Port Hope Police Services 2017 $19,655 Asset Inventory Excel spreadsheet provided by the 2018 $41,400 PHPS. To ensure consistency across the entire dataset 2019 $2,500 and its analysis, a single set of ESL estimates was Subtotal $118,155 applied. This needs analysis should be updated Grand Total $219,184 periodically and incorporate additional information if available. Separate, projected costs for capital improvement projects and scheduled maintenance activities appear in Section 5 of this report. Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 7 October 11, 2009 4.1.1 Short-Term Asset Replacement Budget (2010-2014) Based on the data collected for each asset, a life cycle analysis was completed and capital replacements within the next five (5) years, or short-term, were identified.

Capital Improvement Projects and Budget The following specific capital improvement projects were identified based on input received from PHPS staff during the asset inventory and condition assessment conducted by Westin personnel. These projects are recommended to be undertaken to help ensure uninterrupted operation of the Communications and IT systems, provide enhanced network security, and reduce maintenance costs. 5.1 Area Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Emergency backup power for the police station is provided through a diesel generator. The IT and communications infrastructure is connected to dedicated UPSs which in turn are connected to the diesel generator. The UPSs typically range in size between 1000 VA and 1500 VA which provides sufficient power for the required transition time between normal power and emergency power during a power outage. Currently, the UPSs are not redundant; therefore if an individual UPS failed, power would be lost to the end devices causing a communications outage or the shutdown of a server/workstation which could result in the loss of data. The use of individual UPSs results in increased maintenance costs, due to the substantially higher number of units that must be serviced and maintained in order to ensure proper operation, compared to a consolidated area UPS solution. It is recommended that UPS power be consolidated into one area UPS with N+1 redundancy for all network devices, servers, and computer workstations. N+1 redundancy enables a faulty battery or UPS to be hot-swapped without interrupting the power supply to the load. In this case, power to the servers will not be lost due to a faulty UPS battery. Figure 4: Small UPS in Server Room The area UPS should have the following criteria: 1. Battery charger, static inverter, a bank of storage batteries, and all required accessories. The UPS system should be 120 or 240 VAC single-phase supply, true online. 2. The UPS should include a bumpless-transfer (wrap-around/Automatic Bypass Switch) circuit to enable the Receptacle Panel to be transferred to utility power without impacting the operation of the SCADA Servers or Ethernet Switches. 3. N+1 redundancy for battery and power (inverter) modules. 4. 10/100BASE-T Ethernet interface and Windows-based management software for monitoring and alarming UPS status. 5. Capable of detecting and reporting battery or power module failure, battery voltage, current, and temperature. Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 13 October 11, 2009 6. Battery modules should be hot-swappable. 7. Sized for 30-minute extended runtime and 30% future capacity. Based on the existing power loads, a 20-KVA UPS is recommended. This will provide approximately 30% spare capacity and a minimum of 30 minutes of runtime in the event of a power failure. In addition to the UPS, an extended battery module, wall-mounted maintenance bypass cabinet and lighting panel dedicated for UPS power are required. For each area where UPS power is required, a 15A orange duplex receptacle should be installed. Orange receptacles are industry-standard for identifying power fed from a UPS. The size of the UPS and extended battery module are 40” W x 28” D x 53” H. A further review will be required in order to specify an installation location for these devices. Table 4 outlines the projected costs for area UPSs.

Backup hard drives are kept in the server room and a monthly backup hard drive in a fire-retardant safe in the Office Manager’s office. Staff work from and save all files on the server. For the CAD servers, daily backup tapes are stored in the fire-retardant safe. Monthly backups of the servers are not sufficient. Backups should be performed on a daily basis to ensure more frequent data capture, and the hard drives should be stored in a secure off-site facility. Further, even though the hard drives are stored in a fire-retardant safe, the integrity of the device may be compromised in the event of a catastrophic disaster (e.g., fire, flood) at the Police Department facility. The high temperatures encountered in a fire scenario could melt the hard drive, and water intrusion could render the device unusable. No budget is associated with the implementation of this recommendation, since it calls for a change in procedure only. 5.3 Physical Security and Air Conditioning The servers are currently kept in a server room located in the basement of the station. One server is currently situated on a box. The remaining servers are in an unlocked server cabinet that has no side panels. The network server room door is also kept unlocked and open. The servers, Telus router, Telus modem, Bell router, and switches need to be stored in lockable server racks to prevent physical intrusion. Multiple parties need access to the room but only a small set of individuals need access to the servers. There is currently an air conditioner in the server room but it is too small for the number of servers. The server room door is kept open to prevent overheating of the servers. It is recommended that two new server cabinets be purchased with built-in air conditioners and the existing air conditioner be removed. Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 14 October 11, 2009 This will allow all servers, routers, and switches to be housed in lockable, properly air-conditioned (cooled) server cabinets. An additional rack-mounted environmental control should be installed to monitor temperature and humidity, and to detect the presence of water. Figure 5 shows the current server room and cabinet. Table 5 gives the projected costs for server cabinets.

Physical damage to unprotected cables could occur; no firestopping material in open channels is unsafe; and the lack of patch panels and the presence of unorganized cable Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 15 October 11, 2009 routing make service and maintenance work inefficient. Currently, Ethernet cables run directly from the switches to the end workstations; in each office there are holes in the floors for the cables to enter. Properly labeled, horizontal cables between the server room and each office should be terminated at a patch panel in the server room and at a 2-port work area outlet in the office. In some cases, including dispatch, 4-port work area outlets should be installed. Patch cords will then connect between the patch panel and switches and between the work area outlets and workstations. All structured cabling should comply with the relevant EIA/TIA 568 Telecommunications Cabling Standard. The permanent horizontal cables between the server room and offices should be run within HDPE conduit. The HDPE conduit will protect the horizontal Ethernet cable from physical damage. All open holes and holes created for conduit will be filled with firestopping to prevent the spread of fire between rooms. In addition, to assist with cable management in the server room: • Vertical and horizontal cable management should be installed in the server cabinets. • An overhead cable tray should be installed in the ceiling to facilitate cable routing in and out of the server cabinets. Figure 5 illustrates the structured cabling system, and Table 6 shows the projected costs for horizontal cabling.

The current network does not achieve this because there is no redundancy. There are also no spare switches on hand if one switch should fail. Such a situation could lead to substantial downtime or loss of data, depending upon the severity of failure and time required to remedy the concern. To ensure a high degree of availability, there should be a seamless transition if one of the components fails. Table 7: Minimum Availability Requirements % Availability Min Per Year Min Per Month 99.999 % 5.25 min/yr 0.43 min/month In order to provide 99.999% network uptime, there must be redundancy both in the network and in the servers. To achieve network redundancy, the 2 core switches should both be configured in a loop with the firewall. To achieve redundancy in the servers, all servers and critical workstations should be configured with dual network interface cards. Each port should connect to a different core switch. This results in key servers being connected to both core switches. The existing network switches have reached their capacity and are not capable of providing network redundancy. In order to provide for future growth, 48-port network switches are required. Managed switches are recommended to provide for increased security and redundancy. In the current network, the D-Link Switch between the Telus router and the firewall is a single point of failure. It is recommended that this switch also be changed to a managed switch and a spare switch be kept on hand. The spare switch could also be used as a backup for the two switches servicing the station servers and workstations. Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 17 October 11, 2009 Figure 7 shows the proposed network architecture. Figure 7: Proposed Port Hope Police Services Board Network Architecture 5.5.1 Security With the current network, anyone can plug a computer into the network and gain access. The only network security is a domain username and password for accessing files on the servers. Although this protects against unauthorized individuals from accessing the files, there is no defense against individuals connecting their computers to the network. The Local Area Network (LAN) needs to be locked down and access granted only to those applications required by authorized individuals. IEEE 802.1x authentication and port-based media access control (MAC) address binding are recommended for network security. The IEEE 802.1x standard defines port-based access control to provide authentication to the network for both wired and wireless networks. The Domain Controller authenticates each client connected to a switch port before making available any services. Use of the switch port is denied if the authentication process fails. This would protect against unauthorized computers from connecting to the network. Port-based security permits a single MAC address or range of MAC addresses to access a switch port. A MAC address is a unique and permanent code assigned to networking hardware. When secure MAC addresses are assigned to a secure port, the port does not forward packets with MAC addresses outside the group of defined addresses. A security violation occurs when a device with a MAC address not configured for the port attempts to communicate onto the network. The security violation will cause the Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 18 October 11, 2009 port to become error-disabled and shuts down the port immediately. The port can only be brought out of the error-disabled state by a network administrator entering configuration commands at the switch. Table 8 summarizes the projected costs for core switches.

The radio equipment is located at the base of the tower in a small shelter which is shared with the Public Works Department. Under the current system, the Public Works Department receives an alarm when an illegal entry to the shelter is made, but the Police Service receives no such alarm of a possible problem. It has been noted that a new water tower is being built near Highway 401. In order to provide more robust coverage of PHPS’ radio communications, it is recommended that a second radio repeater (to supplement the existing repeater on the existing water tower) be provided on this new water tower. The police radio is currently situated on a table, shown in Figure 7. With multiple parties having access to the radio shelter, the radio should be stored in a secured, locked enclosure. On the outside of the shelter the radio transmission cable is currently unprotected and exposed, as shown in Figure 8. This situation makes the cable more susceptible to environmental damage or physical intrusion, increasing the risk of failure of the radio network. When run at ground level, the transmission cable needs to be run within conduit. Table 9 shows the projected costs for the radio system improvements.

When an individual is being interviewed, officers are obliged to sit or stand near the video recorder in the hallway to watch and take notes, a situation that is neither convenient nor secure. The existing computer system is currently open, allowing anyone in the building to gain access to sensitive and confidential information. It is recommended that an upgraded networked video server with Internet Protocol-based cameras be used in place of the current setup. This would permit the Interview Room workstation to be relocated to the secure server room, and allow officers to view interviews from their own workstations instead of having to assemble in the hallway. Table 10 displays the projected costs for a networked Interview Room video system.

GPS tracking devices are compact in design and can be attached to the interior of a vehicle through the use of a mounting bracket. The GPS tracking device can be hardwired to the vehicle’s power distribution system. The GPS tracking device receives GPS satellite signals to determine the precise location of the vehicle it is installed in. The tracking device then reports its position and other details through cellular networks (i.e. Bell Mobility, Telus, AT&T). Vehicle locations can be monitored real-time and securely from the web. The estimated cost of one GPS tracking device is $400 with a monthly service fee of $25 for web monitoring access.

There is at least one dedicated dispatcher on duty at all times who must contact the appropriate agency. For ambulance service, calls are forwarded to the ambulance department by telephone. For police service, the dispatcher uses one of three radio systems depending on the nature of the call. For fire service, the dispatcher contacts the appropriate fire agency by radio. There are 7 different fire departments that can be dispatched by the dispatch centre. If the dispatch centre were to become unavailable, all 911 calls would be redirected to Cobourg police. The radios currently residing in the dispatch centre include: • • Police o Cobourg Police (backup only) o Port Hope Police o O.P.P. Provincial Common Channel o Port Hope Fire o Colborne/Cramahe Fire o Hamilton Township Fire (Bewdley, Harwood, Baltimore) Fire Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 22 October 11, 2009 • Cameco Corporation The dispatch centre layout is not conducive to the work activities required of the dispatcher. All fire radios are located on the opposite side of the room from the main 911 phone. The dispatcher is required to place the call on hold, walk to the opposite side of the room, locate the appropriate fire radio, and contact the appropriate fire department. The fire radios take up a significant amount of space, preventing them from being moved closer to the main 911 phone. The 911 phone cannot be moved as this desk also provides the dispatcher visual contact with police department visitors. Next to the fire radios is a wall of 11 phones for backup in case the radio network becomes unavailable. For police calls, all information is entered immediately into the CAD computer, and for fire, all information is handwritten on paper and later sent to the appropriate fire department. In order to increase work efficiency, there are 2 viable types of radio dispatch console units that could be implemented as discussed in option 1 and 2 below. Option 1: The first option is to install an entry-level radio dispatch console which would connect the radio systems and 911 phone lines to a single console unit. The entry-level dispatch console is designed for a single dispatcher and limited to a maximum of 12 radio channels and 2 telephone lines. The unit is compact and versatile. This system would not be capable of connecting the 11 backup radio phone lines. In order to connect these lines, a high-level radio dispatch communications control system would be required as presented in option 2. With the radio dispatch console, dispatchers would press buttons to switch between 911 telephone calls and radios. A headset with microphone is available which would allow dispatchers to free up their hands to take notes and access the computer at the same time. The radio dispatch console would be connected to the Area UPS presented in section 6.1. A recommended manufacturer / model for this type of console is Zetron Model 4010. The police department is already familiar with this manufacturer as its products are used for paging on the radio networks. The approximate cost of the radio console hardware is $13,000. Option 2: In order to accommodate the 11 backup radio phone lines which are located next to the radios, a highlevel radio dispatch communications control system would be required. This would include a PC workstation with a touch-screen system for switching between radios and phones. This system also allows for multiple dispatcher PC workstations. The radio dispatch communications control system would consist of a central control unit with all radios and phone lines connected. Up to six dispatch PC workstations could connect to the radio dispatch communications control system. The radio dispatch communications control system would be connected to the Area UPS presented in section 6.1. A recommended manufacturer / model for this type of console is Zetron Model 4020. The approximate cost of the radio dispatch communications control system hardware is $77,000. Recommendation: Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 23 October 11, 2009 The preferred solution is option 1, the radio dispatch console. This is the preferred solution based on the large price differential between the two options and the fact that the backup phone lines are only used in the rare case that the radio network goes down. The preliminary cost estimate for option 1 is $20,000 which includes the supply and installation of the equipment. The police department will require a supplier to further review the installation requirements and provide a detailed quotation. 5.9.2 Mobile Communications Many police departments are moving toward secure mobile computing including mobile laptops in the police cruisers. Mobile laptops would allow officers to securely access the department’s network remotely with full access to all computer services including: • Intergraph’s Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) • Records Management System • Niche Records Management • Major Case Management • E-mail / Internet. To achieve mobile computing, a secure VPN network connection would be required between each remote mobile laptop and a new VPN Server installed in the Police Station server room. Laptops would need to be equipped with wireless EV-DO network cards which require service from a third-party provider. Bell Mobility and Telus both offer cellular EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized) networks which provide 3.1 Mbps download, 1.8 Mbps upload, and 99.99% uptime with a mean time to repair of 4 hours. The cost for these services are based on the amount of data transferred. Typical costs per unit are approximately $50/month for 2 Gbps of data. Mobile data plans for each remote unit are pooled together. To ensure that the wireless network connection is secure, an enhanced VPN software designed for mobile environments should be deployed on the laptops. One manufacturer used by other police departments in the GTA area is Netmotion Wireless Mobility XE mobile VPN software. The enhanced VPN software is a client-server architecture. The VPN software can either be purchased or used on a monthly subscription. The purchase price would be $10,000 per client (i.e., police cruiser). The monthly subscription fee would be $17/month per client. The subscription fee price is only available through Telus. For the purposes of budget estimates, $17/month per client is used. Clients would connect a wireless EV-DO network card to their laptops and utilize the VPN software to connect to a new VPN Server in the Police Station server room. The existing firewall at the Police Station would need to be modified by opening up port 508 which would listen for VPN connection requests. Due to the demanding environment of a police cruiser, an industrial ruggedized laptop is recommended for installation over an office-grade laptop. Ruggedized laptops provide better protection from heat, vibration, physical deterioration, dust and water infiltration. The ruggedized laptop would be installed on a ergonomic laptop vehicle mount. A recognized industry manufacturer for ruggedized laptops is Panasonic, which has been used for the budgetary pricing of this option. A recognized industry manufacturer for police vehicle laptop mounts is Precision, which has been used for the budgetary pricing of this option.

Additionally, the existing vendor-based Firewall Maintenance procedures should continue in order to help ensure unauthorized intrusion of the network does not occur. Table 15 outlines the recommended maintenance tasks and timing, and Table 16 gives the projected annual maintenance costing. For each year beyond 2010, a suggested 3% annual escalation in maintenance cost should be used to factor in inflation. Table 15: Recommended Maintenance Tasks Housecleaning and Diagnostic Task Frequency Perform UPS testing and assess UPS health Monthly Inspect and remove accumulated dust from network enclosures, active and passive network components Annually Check cabling for general tidiness and organization Annually Test structured cabling to ensure compliance with TIA/EIA specifications As required Check for environmentally degradation of system components (i.e. corrosion) Annually Incorporate anti-virus updates As required Perform backups Daily Perform hard drive defragmentation Monthly Incorporate Operating System updates As required Table 16: Annual Maintenance Costing (2010) Labour Price IT Maintenance Description $ - $ 5,200.00 $ 5,200.00 Firewall Maintenance $ - $ 12,000.00 $12,000.00 Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 Material 25 October 11, 2009 Total (excluding GST) 5.11 $ 17,200.00 Hardware Replacement and Procurement PHPS in conjunction with the Municipality should enter into purchasing agreements with server/ workstation manufacturers and network equipment manufacturers. Typically, such agreements are valid for 5 years. Ideally, the agreements would provide a fixed discount over the published price; a 30% discount is the norm. Not only would such an agreement arrangement achieve price discounts, but would also standardize on a manufacturer, thereby further reducing maintenance and training costs. Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 26 October 11, 2009 5.12 Timing Table 17 shows a proposed schedule for implementing the identified projects over the next 3 years, excluding the preventative maintenance activities. In the first year the Area UPS and backup should be implemented followed by upgrading the server cabinets with built-in air conditioning. It is recommended that the cabling be modified after the server cabinets are in place.

Capacity to Share Electronic Information The PHPS has the sufficient capacity to share electronic information with multi-jurisdictional agencies through CPIC, Niche RMS, InfoPol, Sex/Criminal Offender Registry (SOR), Major Case Management System (MCM), and Automated Crimilar Intelligence Information System (ACIIS). In addition information can be exchanged through the internet and email. Information sharing with the public is provided through a website hosted by Bell Canada (www.phps.on.ca). Through the press release and safety notice website sections, PHPS can keep the community updated on important safety announcements and police activity that would affect the public. The website serves as an educational tool, by providing safety tips and stranger awareness tips to children and parents. Background information on personnel employed at PHPHS and services provided by PHPS are provided on the website as well. 7. Training In order to internally support the current technology infrastructure and additional technologies identified in this document, training will be required. A PHPS staff member should be training on the configuration, operation and troubleshooting of medium-sized Ethernet networks. Having a PHPS staff member trained on these systems allows for immediate action to be taken in the event of system failure. In addition it will provide PHPS staff with constant onsite support with the technologies they are use on a daily basis. Training courses are available at Global Knowledge (http://www.globalknowledge.com) targeted for network support staff and designers. The recommended Global Knowledge course is the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) Course (Course Code 5031). The course is a 5 day in-class instructor-led training and hands-on labs where students learn how to configure operate and troubleshoot networks. Communications & IT Review PHPS Board – Project No.30205 27 October 11, 2009 Cost of the course is $4000. Retraining of this individual should occur every 5 years due to the rapid evolution of technology. Training will be required for PHPS staff on the use of the GPS tracking devices (Section 5.8), dispatch centre (Section 5.9.1) and mobile communications (Section 5.9.2). A minimum of two 4 hour hands-on training sessions should be provided by the vendor/installer for each project. A training manual should be provided as well by the vendor/installer, to serve as a reference document for staff.

Conclusion Unpredictable demands and advances in technology accompanied by times of rapid change cause organizations to continually assess their information technology requirements to determine the most appropriate ways to update and improve systems for timely results and outcomes. There is a need to focus energies on new technology to allow organizations the opportunity to improve their service delivery. Through this review, the PHPSB continues to demonstrate the Board’s ongoing commitment to meeting its responsibility under the Police Services Act. As the PHPS moves forward, it will continue to leverage knowledge, analysis, and technology to reduce crime/criminal activity while addressing emerging crime issues. PHPS can continue to expand its use of the Internet and Internet applications, both as a means to convey information to the public and as a means for the public to request services from the police. This is in line with leveraging the Internet as a means of reducing costs and generating revenue. The speed at which technology (hardware and software) changes will require the PHPS to actively research new technologies, thus ensuring that they remain current with software releases, and stay within a hardware life cycle. The PHPSB must continue to fund initiatives to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the frontline officer, by enhancing service delivery. Many of the Communications and IT physical infrastructure and network/hardware-related issues are attributed to the existing facility or station. For example, the current layout of the dispatch area is poor and restrictive. While this is understandable as the PHPS grew with time and with technology advances, there is a need to reconfigure this area. At the time of this review, the PHPSB has contracted with an architectural firm to review the existing facility, to ensure the facility is compliant with any applicable legislation and requirements, and to estimate the cost of bringing the current PHPS facility into compliance, if needed. Information technology is a cornerstone in policing operations and business processes and is critical to fulfilling the vision of the PHPS. Therefore, the PHPS must continue to work with its strategic policing partners, OPTIC and CPIC, to ensure the needs of the community and its citizens, frontline personnel, and investigative staff are met. As any plan is only as good as its implementation, the PHPSB, officers, and staff will ultimately be responsible for its success. To help the PHPS stay current with technology, enhance service delivery, and better align with industry best practices, this report includes specific recommendations for Communications and IT Asset replacement based on the expected service life of each asset. The report also identifies specific capital improvement projects and preventative maintenance activities to help assure uninterrupted network operation, enhance security, and reduce maintenance costs.
