Commissioners renew Gardify contract for encrypted child-forensic interviews
Summary
The board approved Resolution 2026-289 to renew a Gardify software license used to host and encrypt child forensic interviews; the prosecuting attorney's office said Gardify secures interview video access for authorized users and staff confirmed it is not ordinarily transmitted through email.
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved Resolution 2026-289 to renew a Gardify software license used by the prosecuting attorney's office for child forensic interviews. Jeff Briggs, chief civil deputy prosecuting attorney, told the board Gardify "encrypt[s] the interviews themselves" and provides a means to share video interview files securely with authorized parties, rather than sending sensitive recordings through email.
Commissioner Baumann raised whether the county's existing systems (for example, encrypted Outlook or other software) duplicate Gardify's capabilities; Briggs replied Gardify provides specific controls and encryption for child-victim forensic interview recordings that the county's general email tools do not. The board voted by voice to approve the renewal; the motion passed unanimously.
