CALIFORNIA PAWN AND SECONDHAND DEALER SYSTEM UPDATE (CAPSS) The DOJ’s Chief Information Officer Adrian Farley gave an update on the CAPSS, which presented core functionality to meet Legislative mandates and was implemented in December 2014. Since then, the DOJ and its contractor have been working on phased-in improvements that will provide pawn and secondhand dealers with vastly improved user capabilities, including an automated registration component, multiple property transaction bulk upload and an advanced licensing application for law enforcement that will streamline the licensing process. The DOJ anticipates several waves of releases between April and June 2015. The DOJ sent a letter, currently on the Attorney General’s public website, to all secondhand dealers in the state, making them aware of requirements.

STANDING STRATEGIC PLANNING SUBCOMMITTEE (SSPS) UPDATE SSPS Chair Tom Bruce gave an update on the SSPS, which met before the CAC meeting and heard a presentation from San Diego Law Enforcement Communications Center Director Leslie Gardner. Additionally, the Subcommittee discussed the 2009 CLETS Strategic Plan and the following four remaining topics for future consideration/discussion:
Goal 3 Make a mobile device multi-modal for traffic citation generation and interface to traffic courts and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Goal 4 Transmit “Failure to Appear” (FTA) bench warrants to DOJ and the FBI and have a fingerprint associated with the warrant for positive identification.
New Goal One Capture and share Global Positioning System (GPS) based geospatial data on offenders statewide.
Goal 8 Representatives from the California Police Chiefs’ Association, the California State Sheriffs’ Association, the California Peace Officers’ Association and the DOJ CAC or SSPS representatives will meet with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Director to discuss:
1. Electronic, interstate exchange of driver license and identification photos for law enforcement purposes; and,
2. Facial recognition technology.
Chair Bruce read the entirety of Goal 8 to the CAC, which was intended merely as an exploratory discussion with the DMV Director to establish a platform for the field to share their needs/wants related to sharing photos and utilizing facial recognition as an investigative tool. CLETS Executive Secretary Keith Dann gave an update that the proposed Goal 8 meeting with the DMV Director did not occur due to potential open meeting concerns. Chair Spiegel stated that the methodology of Goal 8, as written, was not possible and perhaps the language should be removed from the 2009 CLETS Strategic Plan. A motion was made to remove Goal 8 from the amended Strategic Plan update.
Motion: Cynthia Renaud Second: James Mele Discussion: David Maass, an investigative researcher with the Electronic Frontier
Foundation (EFF) asked to address the CAC. A complete transcript of Mr. Maass’ statements is attached. SSPS Chair Bruce stated that the SSPS makes no decisions on policies, practices and procedures and that the Subcommittee’s role is strictly advisory.

Dear Ms. Harris:
I am responding to you regarding your October 21 , 2014, letter to the Sheriff's Department in reference to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS), Information Technology Security Audit (ITSA) Report.
There are two areas that the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department (LASD) were not in compliance with the FBI CJIS Security Policy.
1. Security Awareness Training Records
The LASD does not ensure:
a) Personnel who manage or have access to criminal justice information receive the required security awareness training with in six months of initial assignment and biennially thereafter (local agency personnel and private contractors)
b) Does not have the required topics covered in the security awareness training .
2. Identification/User ID
The LASD does not document the validation process of system accounts.
In regards to Security Awareness Training, LASD now has a process in place to lock the user account if the user doesn't attend training within six months of the initial activation and biennially thereafter. This process was implemented in September 2014.

The Bureau's findings show that our agency was not in compliance with FBI CJIS security policies in regard to several areas detailed in your correspondence.
This letter is to inform you of the status of our agency's compliance with the following findings.
1. Private Contractors: We anticipate receiving signed FBI CJIS Security Addendum documents from most of the contractors identified in the findings by December 1, 2014. The contractors from whom we are receiving signed Security Addenda are Palantir, Praescient Analytics and JSS Contractors. We will not be receiving a Security Addendum from Iron Mountain as we are no longer using this firm for any information technology services related to CJIS data and their personnel are not allowed to enter any locations within our facilities containing CJIS-relatcd systems for removal of confidential or sensitive documents.

Re: CLETS Audit Letter Update-OR! CA0579700
Dear Mr. Hayward,
This letter is an updated response to the Department of Justice's security concerns related to the UC Davis Police Department ' s 2012 CLETS audit.
Below you will find our answers to the Department of Justice's specific concerns outlined in your previous correspondence.
• Please include a Reciprocity Agreement signed by your agency and Davis Police Department
Completed October 2014
• Please include the FBI CJIS Security Policy 5.1.1.1 that goes along with the Private Contractor Management Control Agreement
Completed documentation process January 2015 Fingerprints will be resent to DOJ once billing and addressing issues are cleared up on
the cards. Estimated completion date by end ofMarch, 2015.
• When passwords are used to authenticate an individual's unique ID, it is critical that your agency meets all requirements. Based on your ACC's •·espouse to question 3.14, your agency docs not currently meet the requirements outlined in the FBI CJIS Security Policy 5.6.2.1
Our current version of software does not run with the 90 day requirement change. It is a known bug that can only be fixed with updated versions of the software. However, we cannot update to the newer versions of the software due to our antiquated server system. The updated version of the software that meet the security requirements can only run on newer servers with the appropriate OS platform.

ACCOUNT VALIDATION POLICY
The addition and deletion of new Anaheim Police Department network accounts is the responsibility of the Anaheim Police Department IT Bureau. The following outlines the process for adding and deleting network accounts.
Addition ofNew Account
When a new employee joins the Anaheim Police Department (APD), a new account request is forwarded to the APD IT Bureau in one of two ways:
1) The supervisor of the new user emails a request to APD IT; 2) The Personnel Sgt. forwards a copy of the new user 's "offer of employment" memo
Either type of request will include the following: I) user (employee) name 2) pem1ission level needed for shared network folders and fi les, and 3) identification of the email and security group(s) the user needs.
APD IT staffwi ll process the request and notify the employee's supervisor when the account is established.
Deletion of Account
When an employee separates their employment with APD, the Personnel Sgt. or the employee's supervisor will notify the APD IT Bureau of their separation. IT staffwill disable the logon account and emai l address.
An audit wi ll be conducted by APD IT staff every six months to identify and delete any/all obsolete user accounts should they exist.
The Anaheim Police Department's Account Validation policy upholds the City of Anaheim' s Administrative Regulation 155 pertaining to creating strong passwords specifically "it is the responsibility of each user to create a strong password when prompted by the system. Users should avoid using passwords that are easy to guess. The system will reject passwords that have been previously used by the user over the past 12 selections."

Dear Ms. Mitchell,
This letter is to provide you an updated compliance report for outstanding issues which came to light as a result of the FBI CJIS audits conducted in 2014.
Issue 1: REVIEW COMPLETE: Private Contractors: We have a new vendor for paper document storage. A review of our document retention policies revealed that there is a category of documents that are stored in sealed boxes sent for storage to the new vendor (GRM) that most likely contain Ctl and FBI numbers. At the time of the audit it was unclear as to whether these paper records contained CORI data in an accessible format. We are undertaking a change to this policy and will be retrieving these documents that may contain CLETS derived numbers, as well as prohibiting the storage of these documents at GRM. We expect to be in compliance after this review on March 31, 2015.
Issue 2: RESOL VEO: Media Protection: The Department implemented a policy in 2013 for electronic and physical media that restricts access to authorized personnel. However we did not provide a copy of this document in a timely manner to the auditor when the visited.
Issue 3: IN PROGRESS (DELA YEO): System Use Notification: We have signed off on an agreed method for this delivery. We are prevented from implementation until the main virtual servers can be patched. We expect a resolution by March 1, 2015.
Issue 4: RESOLVED: ldentffication/Userid: At the time of the audit we were unsure of our compliance to all aspects of this requirement. The SFSD conducted a review and

found that our process does keep records for the issuance and revocation of identification/userids in compliance with CJIS regulations as follows:
1. We uniquely identify each user. 2. We verify the identity of each user. 3. We receive authorization to issue a user identifier from an appropriate agency official. 4. We issue the user identifier to the intended party. 5. We disable the user identifier after a specified period of inactivity. 6. We archive user identifaers.
Issue 5: RESOLVED: Event Logging: In consultation with our Department of Telecommunication we have implemented logging and a log review process to comply with this requirement. We also have implemented email notifications to admin staff for unusual activity (i.e. multiple password failures). We were in compliance 12/15/2014.
Issue 6: RESOLVED: Advanced Authentication: We are now employing advanced authentication implemented in June 2014.

Dear Ms. Mitchell,
This letter is an addendum to our earlier report dated February 6, 2015, Ref: 2015-016.
In our last quarterly update we had targeted January 1, 2015 as our compliance date for the issues. We are requesting an extension to March 31, 2015. The reason for the requested extension is the time it took to do our paper document review was underestimated in our last quarterly report. In addition, the technology to allow us to display a System Notification to all users was not deployable due to software constraints.
We therefore respectfully request that the CAC authorize an extension to March 31, 2015. We understand that we will need to send a representative to the CAC to request the extension in person.
In addition. you asked for our validation process for validating user accounts. Our Microsoft Active Directory system is linked to the City's personnel data real-time. This adds an employee to the Sheriffs Organizational Unit (OU} in Active Directory.
This AD process allows us to verify the identity of each user. The Sheriff has authorized the SFSD IT to issue a user identifier based on this AD entry, and we assign a temporary password. We then use internal means to insure that these credentials are issued to the intended party. We disable the user identifier after 30 days of inactivity. We archive user identifiers by using AD to mark them "Inactive."

1. Security Awareness Training Records: The Santa Ana Police Department does not ensure personnel, who manage or have access to criminal justice information receive the required security awareness training within six months of initial assignment, and biennially thereafter (local agency personnel; City IT; Softmaster; Crossroads Software, Inc.; Tiburon and Paper Recycling Shredding Services);
Security Awareness Training for all staff was completed by February 26, 2015.
2. Media Disposal: The Santa Ana Police Department does not have 1) written policy for sanitization and destruction of electronic media, and 2) did not witness physical media destruction by unauthorized individuals;
The Santa Ana Police Department now has a written policy and procedure that specifically addresses information technology matters. This includes a policy that addresses the sanitization and destruction of electronic media. Policy completed on February 24, 2015.

3. Session Lock: The Santa Ana Police Department did not initiate a session lock after a maximum of 30 minutes of inactivity on all information systems accessing criminal justice information. Session lock feature added to Department computers. The installation of this feature was completed on February 12, 2015.
4. Event Logging: The Santa Ana Police Department does not review its system audit logs, at a minimum of once a week, for appropriate, unusual or suspicious activity;
Santa Ana Police Department's CAD system/IQ CAD is outdated and is unable to support this level of auditing. The Department is in the process of procuring a new CAD/RMS solution that will have this feature. The new CAD/RMS system is projected to be operational by November 1, 2016. Our agency is aware this change will require a CLETS application since it is upgrading our agency's computer aided dispatch/records management system. We anticipate submitting an application to DOJ by April 15, 2015, if Council approves the recommended vendor. If the timeline changes due to a delay in Council approval, we notify DOJ in a timely manner. Status remains unchanged from January's report.
We will submit a status repmt by May 5, 2015, to note our progress related to the selection and Council approval of the purchase of the new CAD/RMS system. Please feel free to contact our CLETS Coordinator, Christina Holland at (714)245-8620 or [email protected] if you need any further information or have additional concerns.

RE: CLETS Advisory Committee/Standing Strategic Planning Subcommittee
To Whom It May Concern:
1am writing on behalfof the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a San Francisco-based nonprofit that defends civil liberties in the digital age. Having reviewed recent meeting minutes from the CLETS Advisory Committee (CAC) and its Standing Strategic Planning Subcommittee (SSPS), as well as documents obtained through the California Public Records Act, EFF is deeply concerned about the privacy and civil rights implications ofCAC/SSPS's recent actions and proposals. Please enter this letter into the public record for the March 25 meetings of both CAC and SSPS.
The public records indicate that these bodies are moving beyond mere advisory roles by applying for grants and meeting with heads of law enforcement agencies to expand both the collection of personal information and the sharing of this sensitive information with outside entities. In particular, CAC/SSPS appears headed towards a process of sharing facial images held by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and enabling facial recognition for investigative purposes, despite DivfV concerns that some of these steps may be insecure and inconsistent with existing statutory authorization.
First, EFF is greatly concerned about CAC/SSPS's recent efforts to obtain funding to build out DMV's infrastructure and to allow the state to access driver license photos from other states through the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NLETS). While this may not directly affect California drivers, it is clear from the documents that CAC/SSPS believes that this first step will open the door-both in te1ms of policy and technology-for the sh&ing of California drivers' photos nationwide. We share the concerns of the director ofthc DMV, who stated in response to CAC/SSPS inquiries:
fTlhe transmission and wholesale sharing of DLIID photos between Cal-Photo and NLETS raises significant concerns. DMV has a statutory and regulatory obligation to protect all information, including photos that are maintained in the department's database. There is no viable method for DMV to account for each disclosure ofCalifornia DLIID photos via NLETS under this proposal. The proposed expansion of photo-sharing between CLETS/Cai-Photo and NLETS may op~n the door to random accessing of photos without providing identifying points of information. The inability to account for each California DL/ID photo disclosure via NLETS would make it difficult, if not impossible to track the source ofa security breach involving the NLETS network.
At this time, DMV cannot support Goal #8 to the extent it depends on the use ofany California DMV information, specifically DLIID photos. Existing statute and regulations require a vast array of security measures to protect DMV record infonnation for the reasons stated.

Despite this warning from the DMV, CAC/SSPS is continuing to move forward with this proposal, as well as pursuing the ability for law enforcement to leverage facial recognition technology against DMV records for investigations.
Beyond the obvious civil liberties concerns, there are also data security issues with these CAC/SSPS proposals. CAC meeting minutes regularly outline deficiencies in encryption and other security compliance failures among California law enforcement agencies, including problems in the Los Angeles County SherifPs Office and the Los Angeles Police Department, two of the largest law enforcement agencies in the state. No personal information should be collected, stored, or shared without effective security techniques and detailed auditing to ensure this sensitive information is adequately safeguarded.
Finally, we are concerned with CAC/SSPS effm1s to collect thumbprints from Californians during traffic stops for low-level infractions and misdemeanors, as well as the expansion of GPS tracking and sharing oflocational data statewide. Although CAC/SSPS cited Proposition 47 as justification for these measures, the primary purpose ofProposition 47 was to reduce the consequences ofnon-violent and less serious crimes. These proposals simply serve as an end-run around the will of California voters.
Given the specific privacy and security concerns surrounding these proposals, and the growing concerns about privacy and government surveillance generally among the public and state legislators, it was surprising to see CAC/SSPS is scheduling meetings with law enforcement officials on these issues without engaging civil liberties advocates and other stakeholders.
EFF asks CAC/SSPS to immediately put the brakes on these plans. These policies will have substantial and long-lasting ramifications for both law enforcement and the public. Therefore, decisions of this magnitude must be made with full public engagement and the involvement of the legislature, not in obscure advisory and planning committee meetings or in closed~door sessions with law enforcement associations.
In the coming days, we plan to publicize om position on these issues in anticipation of the CAC/SSPS March 25 meetings, with a goal ofgenerating letters for public comment. lf representatives ofthese committees would like to speak with us directly, you can reach me at [email protected].

California CLETS Users GroupP Bo 294 Lak Elsinore CA 92531
Tax ID # 20-‐4416174
Hello, I’m Brian Barnes, Executive Director of the California CLETS Users Group, more commonly referred to as CCUG or C-‐CUG. I wanted to take a few moments today to share a little about ourorganization.
In 1983, California DOJ fostered users group to provide CLETS training, news, and updates tobetter communicate with law enforcement and criminal justice agencies. Since CCUG originated,our mission has been to represent the approximately 1,300 law enforcement and criminal justiceagencies in California. Our membership includes management, supervisory, technical staff, and linelevel users representing agencies that access CLETS to do their daily jobs.
CCUG’s chapters divide the state geographically; northern, central, and southern. Each chapter has their own board to coordinate training and communicate with local users. We currently have 110+agencies and over 350 members registered with us. Our membership is 44% dispatch, 38%records, 7% IT, 6% training, and 5% courts, probation, and federal agencies. Our 14 boardmembers are elected by our membership and volunteer their time to CCUG in addition to their fulltime law enforcement employment.
We provide two types of training; quarterly chapter training and an annual seminar. Each chapterhosts 3 quarterly trainings each year. Chapter training topics vary throughout the year and typically include one if not two DOJ/CLETS topics. S far this year our Southern Chapter presented New Laws for 2015 and Tactical Stress Response, Why Peer Support Works. Last month, the centralchapter had DOJ present o nexTest and Smart Justice/Justice Mobile.
Once a year CCUG hosts our 24-‐hour Annual Training & Technology Seminar. We alternatebetween northern and southern California each year with last year in Sacramento and this year inAnaheim. Our seminar is certified by POST and gives each attendee 24 hours of CPT credit. It is agreat opportunity to meet and receive training from DOJ, DMV, NCIC, and local law enforcementleaders.
If you looked at last year’s training topics, you would have noticed about 10% were not directlyCLETS related. We try to incorporate training topics that focus on professionalism, careerdevelopment, and empowering a well-‐rounded person. We strongly believe training that enhancesperson’s life on any level improves their performance in the workplace.
Lastly, we provide a space for DOJ to present their Training for Trainers, commonly referred to asT4T, immediately preceding our annual seminar. Several of the T4T attendees also attend theseminar.
Since CCUG’s inception we have continued to provide CLETS users the best forums available forCLETS training and information exchange. Considering the events of the last several years and theadded emphasis on tightened security, system training, and other related issues, training is still asmart investment for our CLETS users. We take pride in providing our member agencies withCLETS and NCIC training and connecting them with the experts that have the right answers. Iappreciate this opportunity to speak with you today, thank you!

Electronic Frontier Foundation – Dave Maass Public Comment
My name is Dave Maass and I am an investigative researcher at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a
San Francisco non-profit that defends civil liberties in the digital world. Today I speak on behalf of more
1,500 Californians who joined us in opposing Goal 8 of the strategic plan, which would share DMV
photos nationwide and allow law enforcement to deploy facial recognition.
In 1977, the California Legislature passed the Information Practices Act, reaffirming that the right to
privacy is a personal and fundamental right protected by the California Constitution. To quote from the
legislature’s statement of intent codified into law:
“The increasing use of computers and other sophisticated information technology has greatly magnified
the potential risk to individual privacy that can occur from the maintenance of personal information... In
order to protect the privacy of individuals, it is necessary that the maintenance and dissemination of
personal information be subject to strict limits;”
The �LETS !dvisory �ommittee’s Standing Strategic Planning Subcommittee has repeatedly disregarded
warnings from the California Department of Motor Vehicles that connecting Cal-Photo to NLETS runs
counter to both the intent and the letter of the law. Facial recognition would run into even more legal
roadblocks. Nevertheless, these committees have moved forward, despite their responsibility to
consider the privacy of Californians. Nothing on the record indicates that civil liberties have played a role
in discussion over this goal.
Californians have the power to hold state and local law enforcement accountable, but we have little
ability to control policy and oversight outside of the state’s boundaries; We certainly have no say over
law enforcement policies outside of the U.S.—and I’ll remind you that Mexico and Canada are also
partners in NLETS.
�ut let’s also look at the issue of transparency; NLETS is a private entity and not subject to the Freedom
of Information Act, the California Public Records Act, or open meeting laws. If Cal-Photo is connected to
NLETS, the public will have no opportunity to inspect or influence policy changes at NLETS. Handing over
our photos to an entity with no public accountability measures is unacceptable.
As the DMV stated, under this plan, there would be little we could do to track or prevent random
accessing of our DMV photos or trace data breaches.
Goal 8 must be removed from the strategic plan, but it is not the only problematic goal that CLETS
Advisory Committee and its subcommittee have approved. In the coming weeks and months, we intend
to dig deeper into issues of biometris, finger and thumb printing and GPS tracking.
We’re putting the spotlight on this committee and 1,500 emails is only the beginning;

From: engagedcitizen To: Maria Cranston; AttorneyGeneral; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: (No Subject) Date: Tuesday, March 17, 2015 1:33:14 PM
As a California resident, I am writing today to oppose the CLETS Advisory Committee’s (CAC) recent actions and
proposals regarding facial recognition technology and the sharing of the Cal-Photo database with the national law
enforcement community through NLETS.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles has expressed grave concerns about the security of these proposals
(Goal 8) and indicated that the law does not authorize such an expansion. Nevertheless, CAC refuses to drop the
proposal and has been brokering meetings with law enforcement associations to plan out this scheme. The
committee has also authorized staff to apply for grants to build out the technological groundwork for this
expansion.
I join the Electronic Frontier Foundation in calling for the advisory committee to put the brakes on these proposals
immediately. Decisions of this magnitude must be made with full public engagement and the involvement of the
legislature, not in obscure advisory and planning committee meetings or in closed-door sessions with law
enforcement lobby groups.
As an addendum, I must personally say that I am completely disgusted that this would even be considered in a
state such as this. As a resident who has moved from another state, specifically due to laws found unjust and
unconstitutional, to come to what was once a beacon of forward thinking democracy, this frightening
consequence of post 9/11 America is just another grave step in a terrible direction. You have allowed the war
hawks and corporations, especially in the military-industrial complex, to conjure up the threat of “terrorism” as a
pretense to send our country into a dark, USSR-era surveillance state. We are not what our country has
digressed into. Be the people we elected and stand up for this “democracy” we live in. Don’t allow backroom
deals and bias corporate interest to influence your decisions.
Thank you,
Engaged Citizen

From: Robert Brode To: Maria Cranston; AttorneyGeneral Cc: [email protected]; "Lisa Marie Bartley " Subject: CLETS foray into citizen privacy and questionable tactics Date: Tuesday, March 17, 2015 9:16:38 PM
Ms. Harris and Ms. Cranston,
Please accept this email as a formal protest against CLETS Advisory Committee’s recent actions and proposals regarding facial recognition technology AND the sharing of the Cal-Photo database with the national law enforcement community through NLETS.
I personally oppose this effort on several grounds:
1. As a former police officer with over 27 years of active service I understand the thinking that propelled this thinking. There is no doubt that law enforcement managers believe this will make their jobs easier. However, it also allows an unprecedented amount of what I believe is an unjustified and unconstitutional invasion of privacy. As citizens of the State of California the photographs held by DMV are required for drivers licensing requirements. Law Enforcement already has the use of DMV photos for photographic lineups. Now they would like to use facial recognition software to make their job “easier”. This concept is also called “fishing”. The photographs for DMV were never intended to be used in this manner. I believe that Law Enforcement does not have enough legal oversight to handle this kind of power and authority.
2. As a practicing attorney for the past 15 years, who also teaches criminal law full time, this is one of the very issues I warn my students to be wary of. This kind of assumption of authority is part of the “slippery slope” we all talk about and we should be very careful about taking this direction in law enforcement.
3. I also believe that this kind of major shift in law enforcement should require a vote of the people effected, i.e. the people of the state of California. The vast majority of citizens are decent and honorable people and have a right to know what the authorities are trying to do and what they will be subjected to by their government. I question why this activity to promote such a change has been shrouded in secret meetings and against the advice of the DMV. It makes me question who is behind this move and why. An open and free society lets the people decide on such actions. A totalitarian form government doesn’t.
I recognize that the California Department of Motor Vehicles has expressed their opinion that the law does not authorize such an expansion. Nevertheless, according to EFF the CAC refuses to drop the proposal and has been quietly meeting with law enforcement associations to develop this questionable approach to law enforcement. The committee has
