Board authorizes 911 director to sign Virtru quote for encrypted NCIC transmissions
Summary
Stephens County commissioners approved a Virtru encryption software quote for the 911 office and agreed to lock a 3% rate increase now to avoid an anticipated 8% increase later in the year; staff said funds are budgeted for the purchase.
The Stephens County Board of Commissioners approved a quote from Virtru and authorized the 911 director to sign the contract for encrypted transmission of NCIC criminal-history, license and tag information to field investigators. Staff told the board the county is already using Virtru and recommended signing now to lock a 3% increase rather than risk an 8% increase later in the year.
"Virtru is an encryption software we utilize to email NCIC criminal history, license, and tag information investigators in the field," the staff member said, noting funds are budgeted for the expense. The Chair called for a voice vote and the motion carried; the transcript records the motion and the Chair's announcement that the motion passed but does not show a roll-call tally in the public record.
