CAMERAS TURN THE TIDE ON CRIMINALS: What's your policy for false allegations?
Should law enforcement agencies pursue charges against people who falsely accuse officers?  More and more agencies are now able to do so with body-worn video footage that clears officers of wrongdoing. 



In SC, an offender was recently arrested for disorderly conduct.  Said offender subsequently filed an IA complaint alleging the officer "pushed" him and used racially charged language against him. After reviewing the officer's footage, the department arrested him, again, for filing a false report. 



A Knox County Deputy was cleared of fondling a DUI suspect during an arrest.  She was also charged with false reports.  "This officer was accused of a class B felony. She was looking to take his freedom. 8 to 12 years in the penitentiary. Losing his family, his integrity. His character would have been questioned a thousand different ways," said KCSO Chief of Administration Lee Tramel.




What do you think? Pursue charges?
HACKERS ATTACK RMS: Police Pay Ransom
At first, the problems with the Tewksbury Police Department system - difficulty calling up arrest and incident records - seemed to be just the usual system crankiness. No big deal.


But it persisted, and a technician was called in.
That was when the menacing message popped up on the screen, an explanation in the form of a ransom note:


"Your personal files are encrypted," it read. "File decryption costs ~ $500."


It continued: "If you really value your data, then we suggest you do not waste valuable time searching for other solutions because they do not exist."

Managing Evidence and Public Records


Who should attend: personnel who manage and oversee the proper management of evidence and case records. Learn what the law requires. How long should evidence be kept? What about the records associated with the case? When the court sends a letter saying the evidence can be destroyed, should it be?

  • When does evidence become a public record?
  • Is there a difference between the two?
  • When the court authorizes evidence to be disposed, is it okay to destroy it?
  • Are there additional retention requirements beyond the closure of a case?
  • What about evidence that has met the statute of limitation?
