Atlanta panel backs shorter, 12-month police image-system extension

Atlanta’s Public Safety and Legal Administration Committee unanimously recommended a substitute Sept. 28 extending Milner Technologies’ police image-system services on a month-to-month basis for up to twelve months. Milner provides maintenance and storage for the Unisearch Image Director systems.

Ordinance 26-O-1489 would cover April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, retroactively, with a $345,364.50 ceiling. An earlier version proposed eighteen months through Oct. 1, 2027. The substitute would remove Finance and Atlanta Information Management as user agencies, leaving Atlanta Police alone.

The proposal would waive competitive source-selection requirements and ratify past services while allowing time to solicit a new agreement. The committee recommendation is not an executed extension: legal review, execution, attestation and delivery are required before the amendment binds the city.
