Police chief: CJIS audit requires 24-hour monitored alarm at Seymour PD
Summary
Seymour Police Chief told council that a CJIS audit requires agencies that hold criminal-justice information to have 24-hour monitored alarm systems; the department solicited bids, including ADT, and will pursue installation to comply with state and federal rules.
Seymour Police Chief Bryce Sawyer told the council July 16 that a recent CJIS audit requires law-enforcement agencies that store criminal justice information to have 24-hour monitored alarm systems.
Chief Sawyer said the department solicited bids for alarm systems, citing ADT among three vendors, and that the new standard means the city’s police facility will need continuous monitoring to comply with state and federal CJIS rules. He characterized the audit as part of standard CJIS oversight and said the department is working to obtain quotes and implement the required monitoring.
The council did not take a formal vote on security funding during the meeting; Chief Sawyer indicated the department will return with more detailed quotes and recommendations for equipment and monitoring arrangements.
The council asked staff to track the procurement process and ensure compliance with the CJIS requirements.
