1. Most police agencies within King County currently use Livescan fingerprint capture stations provided by the King County regional automated fingerprint identification system ("AFIS") program.
2. The AFIS program is in the process of distributing two-hundred and fifty mobile handheld fingerprint capture devices to police agencies throughout the county. Almost half of the devices have been distributed and over three hundred officers are trained to use them.

3. The interlocal agreement previously transmitted in Ordinance 17865 has been signed by nineteen cities, the Port of Seattle, the University of Washington and Sound Transit.
4. Attachment A to this ordinance is a revised interlocal agreement, which addresses the sheriff's office contract cities' concerns regarding indemnification language.
5. Attachment B to this ordinance is a revised interlocal agreement, which addresses the remaining cities' concerns regarding indemnification language.
