Knox County IT to build isolated network for sheriff's Internet Crimes Against Children unit
Summary
County IT told commissioners it will build a sequestered network for the sheriff’s Internet Crimes Against Children work so investigative data remains isolated from the county's general network.
Trevor said IT is building new infrastructure for the sheriff's office to support an Internet Crimes Against Children unit. He described the network as a sequestered or split network that will prevent investigative data from integrating with the rest of the county network.
"So we have to build, basically, a secured network that nobody else can access into that building," Trevor said, describing the need to protect sensitive investigative material. He said the effort is part of ongoing support for law‑enforcement technology needs and that the department would maintain separation to protect data.
Commissioners asked staff to repeat the description for the record and to confirm that access controls would be strict; Trevor affirmed the approach and the project remained in the IT workplan for later this year.
