Guest guest Posted June 10, 2000 Report Share Posted June 10, 2000 As you may know, the CALEA accreditation standards set out very few specific requirements for comm centers and law enforcement agencies. In most cases, what they <do> require is just that you have a written policy or procedure for a certain situation, but to account for local control, they don't say <what> that policy or procedure should be. Flipping through my trusyt Jan. 1999 set of CALEA standards for comm centers, Section 6.7.2 says only, " The agency has a records system retention schedule. " The explanatory material says, " The schedule for retaining records should be consistent with legal requirements. " Most states have a policy for the retention of government records--California is 120 days. That used to be a BIG deal when logging recorders were reel-to-reel (you younger folks, don't ask what these are!). But now with digital recorders, keeping 120 days is almost trivial in cost and space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
