Agency Address: 367 Grove St.

Please provide purpose and use of funding or contribution requested (what the funds will be used for):
The St. Paul Police Deparhnent Fraud & Forgery Unit is requesring MECF grant funds for the purchase
of one (1) SNARE fraud detection and authenticafion system, software, and a period of coverage to be
used to verify the authenticity of identification and credit cards. We have dealt with several cases of
cloned and counterfeit credit cards recently and were at a distinct disadvantage because we were unable
to easily idenrify which cards were authentic and which were fraudulent. This delayed confirming a
crime actually occurred, identifying the victims, identifying who was responsible, and also prevented
timely charging of the perpetrators. We were able to borrow the SNARE product from FCS and
evaluate its worth in context of these actual cases. Our use of the product was successful and the value
to fraud invesrigations was immediately appazent. Unfortunately the unit purchase price and the
monthly access fee is not included in our agency budget, and is unlikely to be approved as part of the
agency budget for quite a while until the economic forecasts trend differently.
Requesting: SNARE _ $511.93
Monthly access x 2 yeazs =$1,154.26
Total = $1,666.19
