CLETS PRIVATE CONTRACTOR

MANAGEMENT CONTROL AGREEMENT

Agreement to allow California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) access by

(Public law enforcement/criminal justice agency)

(ORI)

to (Private Contractor) to perform (Type of service) services on its behalf.

Access to the CLETS is authorized to public law enforcement and criminal justice agencies (hereinafter referred to as the CLETS subscribing agency) only, which may delegate the responsibility of performing the administration of criminal justice functions (e.g., dispatching functions or data processing/information services) in accordance with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Addendum to a private contractor. The private contractor may access systems or networks that access the CLETS on behalf of the CLETS subscribing agency to accomplish the above-specified service(s). This agreement must be received by the California Department of Justice (CA DOJ) prior to the subscribing agency permitting access to the CLETS. The performance of such delegated services does not convert that agency into a public criminal justice agency, not automatically authorize access to state summary criminal history information. Information from the CLETS is confidential and may be used only for the purpose(s) for which it is authorized. Violation of confidentiality requirements or access authorizations may be subject to disciplinary action or criminal charges.

Pursuant to the policies outlined in the CLETS Policies, Practices, and Procedures (PPP) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) CJIS Security Policy, it is agreed the CLETS subscribing agency will maintain responsibility for security control as it relates to the CLETS access. Security control is defined as the ability of the CLETS subscribing agency to set, maintain, and enforce:

1. Standards for the selection, supervision, and termination of personnel. This does not grant hiring/firing authority to the CLETS subscribing agency, only the authority to grant CLETS access to personnel who meet these standards and deny it to those who do not.

2. Policies governing the operation of computers, access devices, circuits, hubs, routers, firewalls, and other components that make up and support a telecommunications network and related CA DOJ criminal justice databases used to process, store, or transmit criminal justice information, guaranteeing the priority, integrity, and availability of service needed by the criminal justice community.

Security control includes, but is not limited to, the supervision of applicable equipment, systems design, programming, and operating procedures associated with the development, implementation, and operation of any computerized message-switching or database systems utilized by the served law enforcement agency or agencies. Computer sites must have adequate physical security to protect against any unauthorized viewing or access to computer terminal, access devices, or stored/printed data.

CLETS PRIVATE CONTRACTOR

MANAGEMENT CONTROL AGREEMENT

Additionally, it is the responsibility of the CLETS subscribing agency to ensure that all private contractors receiving information from the CLETS meet the minimum training, certification, and background requirements that are also imposed on the CLETS subscribing agency's staff. The minimum requirements are applicable also to staff having access to record storage areas containing information from the CLETS. The minimum requirements include, but are not limited to:

1. Prior to allowing the CLETS access, train, functionally test, and affirm the proficiency of all the CLETS computer operators to ensure compliance with the CLETS and the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC) policies and regulations, if applicable. Biennially, provide testing and reaffirm the proficiency of all the CLETS operators, if applicable.

2. State and FBI criminal offender record information searches must be conducted prior to allowing access to the CLETS computers, equipment, or information. If the results of the criminal offender record information search reveal a record of any kind, access will not be granted until the CLETS subscribing agency can review the matter to decide if access is appropriate. If a felony conviction of any kind is found, access shall not be granted.

3. Each individual must sign a CLETS Employee/Volunteer Statement form (HDC 0009) prior to operating or having access to CLETS computers, equipment, or information.

In accordance with CLETS/NCIC policies, the CLETS subscribing agency has the responsibility and authority to monitor, audit, and enforce the implementation of this agreement by the private contractor. The private contractor agrees to cooperate with the CLETS subscribing agency in the implementation of this agreement and to accomplish the directives for service under the provisions of this agreement. The CLETS Management Control Agreement (HDC 0004B) shall be updated when the head of either agency changes or immediately upon request from the CA DOJ.

By signing this agreement, the vendors and private contractors certify they have read and are familiar with the contents of (1) the FBI's CJIS Security Addendum, (2) the NCIC 2000 Operating Manual, (3) the FBI's CJIS Security Policy, (4) Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20, and (5) the CLETS PPP and agree to be bound by their provisions. Criminal offender record information and related data, by its very nature, is sensitive and has potential for great harm if misused. Access to criminal offender record information and related data is therefore limited to the purpose(s) for which the CLETS subscribing agency has entered into the contract. Misuse of the system by, among other things: accessing it without authorization; accessing it by exceeding authorization; accessing it for an improper purpose; use, dissemination, or secondary dissemination of information received as a result of this contract for a purpose other than that envisioned by the contract, may subject me to administrative and criminal penalties.

Accessing the system for an appropriate purpose and then using, disseminating, or secondary dissemination of information received for another purpose other than execution of the contract also constitutes misuse. Such exposure for misuse includes, but is not limited to, suspension or loss of employment and prosecution for state and federal crimes.
