SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement with King County, for Use of Electronic Fingerprint
Equipment Provided by the Regional AFIS Program - Recommend
MOTION: Recommend Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Interlocal
Agreement with King County for the use and maintenance of electronic
fingerprint equipment provided to the City, with final terms and conditions
acceptable to the Police Chief and City Attorney.
SUMMARY King County's regional Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)
program, under the administration of the Sheriff's Office, is in the process of establishing
an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with each agency in the county that provides law
enforcement and/or booking services. The ILA addresses use and maintenance of
electronic fingerprint equipment provided to the agencies by the AFIS Program.
By way of a King County property tax levy, the AFIS program funds these Livescans and
Mobile ID devices located throughout the county. This equipment is the means by which
fingerprints are transmitted into the AFIS computer, resulting in the positive identification
of individuals.
Livescan is an electronic fingerprinting station that submits fingerprints and palm prints to
the King County AFIS computer. The prints are matched against other fingerprint records
as well as "latent" prints collected at crime scenes. Along with fingerprints, related arrest
information is forwarded to the Washington State Patrol and FBI for entry onto state and
national rap sheets. Livescans have been in operation at jails and police departments in
the county since the late 1990's. In many locations, they are also used to fingerprint
citizens applying for various permits or licenses. Throughout 2015 and 2016, the AFIS
program will replace the Livescans with updated versions.
Mobile ID is a wireless, handheld device used by the officer in the field to submit an
individual's prints when identity is in question. This remote search against the AFIS
computer provides an "ID" response in less than two minutes. It gives the officer
information when determining whether to take a person into custody. The device is also
used to identify injured and/or deceased individuals. The Mobile ID infrastructure and
devices were successfully piloted in King County for the past three years. The AFIS
6
program has purchased 250 additional devices for distribution throughout the county this
fall.
No ILA currently exists to address the use and maintenance of this equipment. The ILA
essentially memorializes and clarifies expectations, responsibilities, and practices in place
for many years at agencies already using Livescans.
The ILA also contains a Mobile ID policy that the police agency would be agreeing to
implement. This policy was reviewed by police agencies and American Civil Liberties
Union (ACLU) representatives. The ACLU's concerns were that:
1) Officers could fingerprint individuals without cause, and
2) Prints taken would be retained by the device.
These concerns are addressed in the policy, and the ACLU representatives were satisfied
with the AFIS Program's responses, which are:
1) An officer must have probable cause, reasonable suspicion, and/or an
articulable reason to question a subject's identity, and
2) Prints are used for a one-time search and response and will not be retained
in the AFIS database.
The ILA is the same for each city and/or entity within King County. It was vetted with a
sampling of jurisdictions within King County and reflects those agencies' input. If
approved, the ILA would be in effect from year-to-year unless modified or terminated in
accordance with the terms outlined in the ILA.
The current AFIS levy, 2013-2018, funds this equipment. If the AFIS program receives
continued support into the future, it intends to continue the purchase, maintenance, and
replacement of equipment as needed. The only costs to the agency are: minimal IT staff
time to assist AFIS program staff in setting up the software, hardware, and network
connections; time for officers to receive training and report any issues; and any on-site
change that may be needed to prepare for installing a Livescan station. This information
is further addressed in the ILA.

Livescan: stationary electronic fingerprint capture equipment used to obtain full sets of
fingerprints for purposes of searching and storing in AFIS;
Mobile ID: mobile electronic fingerprint capture equipment used to obtain prints from two
fingers for purposes of searching AFIS to determine an individual's identity. These prints are not

or deviate from this policy, the agency must present its request to the Regional AFIS Manager.
II. PROGRAM
King County's regional AFIS program has initiated a Mobile ID project, involving the use of wireless
remote fingerprint identification throughout the county. The project is designed to assist in identifying
persons whose identities are in question. While the fingerprint verification process already exists in
King County, Mobile ID moves this function to law enforcement first responders, resulting in a more
timely identification process.
The system scans the fingerprints at the Mobile ID device and transmits wirelessly to the King County
AFIS. If the fingerprints are in the AFIS database, a positive match returns the person's specific
identifiers to the Mobile ID device or officer's mobile computer.
In the future, a simultaneous search may also be conducted to search Washington State Patrol's AFIS
database and an FBI database known as the Repository for Individuals of Special Concern (RISC).
A. Only officers trained by AFIS program staff and operating under the guidelines of the Mobile
ID project may use the device.
B. In the event that lack of usage by the assigned officer is a concern, the AFIS program will
communicate with the agency and provide retraining and/or direct a reassignment of the device.
C. Any use of the device not consistent with this policy and/or law enforcement purposes may
result in reassignment or forfeiture of the device, and/or a deactivation of access to the AFIS
database. Additionally, any violation of the Mobile ID policy/procedure, or of federal or state law, may
subject the officer to internal discipline by his/her agency.
III. PROCEDURE
The use or retention of any Mobile ID-collected data shall conform to federal and state laws. It must
also conform to individual agency policy as well as the AFIS program procedure as follows:
A. An officer may use Mobile ID when there is probable cause to arrest a suspect.
B. An officer may also use Mobile ID during a Terry Stop based upon reasonable suspicion. If a
person provides a driver's license or other valid means of identification, or gives the officer a name
that can be confirmed through a driver's license check, that form of identification should suffice without
the use of Mobile ID. However, if there are articulable facts that give rise to reasonable suspicion
regarding the accuracy of a person's identity, the officer may use Mobile ID to verify identity.
C. Absent probable cause or reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, a person may consent to
an officer's request to use Mobile ID. However, the consent must be voluntary as defined by current
Washington case law, i.e., the person must be informed that he/she has a right to refuse the officer's
request.
D. Use of the device shall be documented in any report generated as a result of the contact. The
officer must articulate the specific facts that support the basis for the use of Mobile ID and must state
the voluntary compliance of the Mobile ID if used without arrest, probable cause, or reasonable
suspicion.
