Authorization To Execute Management Control Agreement With Minnesota Information Technology Services
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize execution of the Management Control Agreement (MCA) between Dakota County Community Corrections (DCCC) and Minnesota Information Technology Services (MNIT).
SUMMARY
Criminal Justice Information Systems (CJIS) access is essential to the daily operations of DCCC. The DCCC receives secure network and internet services from MNIT. To maintain this access, DCCC must enter into an MCA with MNIT as required by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) CJIS Security Policy (Attachment: Management Control Agreement).
CJIS access allows DCCC staff to use critical tools such as the Criminal Justice Network's (CJN) integrations and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) to confirm active warrants, track arrests and custody status, review bail and holds information, and access jail systems including PCI. Intake and pretrial staff rely on this access when police reports are unavailable, to support domestic violence screening and safety decisions, verify DNA status, and securely work within the jail or remotely. Without this agreement and continued CJIS access, staff would lose timely and reliable information that is necessary for public safety, informed decision-making, and efficient operations.
OUTCOMES
This agreement formally documents MNIT's role in continuing to provide secure network and internet services that allow DCCC systems to connect with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) and national crime justice systems, while affirming DCCC's authority to manage and enforce controls over its own systems and applications.
RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
Staff recommends execution of the MCA between DCCC and MNIT.
