The Department of Justice must review and approve all vendors that provide this type of platform for law enforcement use, and this process can take six to nine months. During this time, staff will be in suspended state without any software to use while waiting for approval from Department of Justice. Afterwards, it will take another 6 to 9 months to implement, re-create connectors, training etc. Altogether, selecting a different vendor will require two years of time to In addition, the Police Department will not be able to electronically file cases with the District Attorney Office.
