11112.4
. (a) Within each county or group of counties eligible to
receive funding under the department's master plan for equipment,
that elects to participate in the Remote Access Network, a local RAN
board shall be established. Where a single county is eligible to
receive funding, that county's RAN board shall be the local RAN
board. Where a group of counties is eligible for funding, the local
RAN board shall consist of a regional board. The RAN board shall
determine the placement of RAN equipment within the county or
counties, and coordinate acceptance, delivery, and installation of
RAN equipment. The board shall also develop any procedures necessary
to regulate the ongoing use and maintenance of that equipment,
adhering to the policy guidelines and procedures adopted by the
department. The local board shall consider placement of equipment on
the basis of the following criteria:
(1) The crime rate of the jurisdiction or jurisdictions served by
the agency.
(2) The number of criminal offenses reported by the agency or
agencies to the department.
(3) The potential number of fingerprint cards and latent
fingerprints processed.
(4) The number of sworn personnel of the agency or agencies.
(b) Except as provided in subdivision (c), each RAN board shall be
composed of seven members, as follows: a member of the board of
supervisors, the sheriff, the district attorney, the chief of police
of the Cal-ID member department having the largest number of sworn
personnel within the county, a second chief selected by all other
police chiefs within the county, a mayor elected by the city
selection committee established pursuant to Section 50270 of the
Government Code, and a member-at-large chosen by the other members.
In any county lacking two chiefs of police, a substitute member shall
be selected by the other members on the board. Groups of counties
forming a region shall establish a seven-member board with each
county having equal representation on the board and at least one
member-at-large. If the number of participating counties precludes
equal representation on a seven-member board, the size of the board
shall be expanded so that each county has at least two
representatives and there is a single member-at-large.
(c) In any county with a population of 5,000,000 or more, each
local board shall be composed of seven members, as follows: a member
of the board of supervisors, the sheriff, the district attorney, the
chief of police of the Cal-ID member department having the largest
number of sworn personnel within the county, a second chief selected
by all other police chiefs within the county, the mayor of the city
with the greatest population within the county that has a Cal-ID
member police department, and a member-at-large chosen by the other
members. In any county lacking two chiefs of police, a substitute
member shall be selected by the other members of the board.
(d) A county which is a part of a regional board may form a local
RAN advisory board. The purpose of the local RAN advisory board shall
be to provide advice and recommendations to the county's
representatives on the regional RAN board. The local RAN advisory
board may appoint alternate members to the regional RAN board from
the local RAN advisory board to serve and work in the place of a
regional RAN board member who is absent or who disqualifies himself
or herself from participation in a meeting of the regional RAN board.
If a vacancy occurs in the office of a regional RAN board in a
county which has established a local RAN advisory board, an alternate
member selected by the local RAN advisory board may serve and vote
in place of the former regional RAN board member until the
appointment of a regional RAN board member is made to fill the
vacancy.
