Implementation of PRIME - Police Records Information Management Environment

WHEREAS the provincial government has legislated the implementation of the Police Records Information Management Environment PRIME system, an information sharing system that will connect all jurisdictions throughout Canada and streamline data entry and retrieval; AND WHEREAS the provincial government was initially to be responsible for the costs of implementation, but has now determined that municipalities will be responsible for a portion of these costs: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Union of British Columbia Municipalities urge the provincial government to pay the entire cost of implementing the PRIME system, as these costs will create hardship to all municipalities in the province.
