Criminal Intelligence Systems - The recipient agrees that any information technology system funded or supported by the Office of Justice Programs funds will comply with 28 C.F.R. § 23, Criminal Intelligence Systems Operating Policies, if the Office of Justice Programs determines this regulation to be applicable. Should the Office of Justice Programs determine 28 C.F.R. § 23 to be applicable, the Office of Justice Programs may, at its discretion, perform audits of the system, as per 28 C.F.R. § 23.20(g). Should any violation of 28 C.F.R. § 23 occur, the recipient may be fined as per 34 U.S.C. § 10231. The recipient may not satisfy such a fine with federal funds. The recipient understands and agrees that no awarded funds may be used to maintain or establish a computer network unless such network blocks the viewing, downloading, and exchanging of pornography. In doing so the recipient agrees that these restrictions will not limit the use of awarded funds necessary for any federal, state, tribal, or local law enforcement agency or any other entity carrying out criminal investigations, prosecutions, or adjudication activities. State IT Point of Contact - The recipient must ensure that the State IT Point of Contact receives written notification regarding any information technology project funded by this award during the obligation and expenditures period. This is to facilitate communication among local and state governmental entities regarding various information technology projects being conducted with these award funds. In addition, the recipient must maintain an administrative file documenting the meeting of this requirement. For a list of State IT Points of Contact, go to https:Hit.oip.gov/technology-contacts. The State IT Point of Contact will ensure the recipient's project follows a statewide comprehensive strategy for information sharing systems that improve the functioning of the criminal justice system, with an emphasis on integration of all criminal justice components, law enforcement, courts, prosecution, corrections, and probation and parole. Interstate Connectivity - To avoid duplicating existing networks or IT systems in any initiatives funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance for law enforcement information sharing systems which involve interstate connectivity between jurisdictions, such systems shall employ, to the extent possible, existing networks as the communication backbone to achieve interstate connectivity, unless the recipient can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Bureau of Justice Assistance that this requirement would not be cost effective or would impair the functionality of an existing or proposed IT system. 19.0 Interoperable Communications Guidance - Recipients using funds to support emergency communications activities must comply with the current SAFECOM Guidance for Emergency Communication Grants, including provisions on technical standards that ensure and enhance interoperable communications. Emergency communications activities include the purchase of Interoperable Communications Equipment and technologies such as voice-over-internet protocol bridging or gateway devices, or equipment to support the build out of wireless broadband networks in the 700 MHz public safety band under the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Waiver Order. SAFECOM guidance can be found at https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2023-04/fv23 safecomguidance pdf. Recipients interested in developing a public safety broadband network in the 700 MHz band in their jurisdictions must adhere to the technical standards set forth in the FCC Waiver Order, or any succeeding FCC orders, rules, or regulations pertaining to broadband operations in the 700 MHz public safety band. The recipient shall also ensure projects support the Statewide Communication Interoperability Plan (SCIP) and are fully coordinated with the full-time Statewide Interoperability Coordinator (SWIC). If any future regulatory requirement (from the FCC or other governmental entity) results in a material technical or financial change in the project, the recipient should submit associated documentation, and other material, as applicable, for review by the SWIC to ensure coordination. Recipients must provide a listing of all communications equipment purchased with award funding (plus the quantity purchased of each item) to FDLE once items are procured during any periodic programmatic progress reports. 20.0 Global Standards Package - In order to promote information sharing and enable interoperability among disparate systems across the justice and public safety community, OJP requires the recipient to comply with DOJ's Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (DOD's Global) guidelines and recommendations for this particular award.
