MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH:
Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM:
David Ross, Police Chief
DATE:
May 8, 2023
SUBJECT:
Ordinance No. 3354-2023, ICAC funds for Cellebrite Software
The Kenai Police Department is a member agency of the Alaska Internet Crimes Against Children
(ICAC) Task Force. That Task Force receives funding from the Department of Justice to assist
in its mission. As a member of the ICAC, the Kenai Police Department has been allocated some
of those grant funds.
The Department operates a Cellebrite device for forensic data extraction of devices, such as
smart phones. That Cellebrite device requires software updates and the ICAC has approved
reimbursement for software updates to that device. The software updates are $6,100 and ICAC
has committed $5,000 for the purchase on a reimbursement basis. The remaining $1,100 will
come from the police department budget with no additional appropriation required.
I am respectfully requesting consideration of the ordinance accepting and appropriating these
grant funds for the purpose they were intended.
