What does the CJIS Security Policy encourage each criminal justice agency to do?

The CJIS Security Policy emphasizes the importance of tailored security measures at the agency level, which is why developing internal security training for local policies is encouraged. Each criminal justice agency is unique, with its own set of demands and operational environments, so it is crucial for agencies to implement security measures that address these specific needs. This includes creating training programs that educate personnel on best practices for handling Criminal Justice Information (CJI), ensuring compliance with the overall security policy, and enhancing the security posture of the agency.

By encouraging agencies to establish their own training protocols, the CJIS Security Policy supports organized and relevant training that helps staff stay informed about potential security threats, data handling procedures, and legal obligations. This approach fosters a culture of security awareness and accountability within the agency, ultimately promoting the safe and responsible use of sensitive information.
