This resource is considered a living document which accepts feedback and content suggestions for periodic updates; it has been developed in order to provide a template and supporting information for justice entities as they develop and update their policy documents.
This resource provides background information on Policy, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties (P/CRCL) Policy, P/CRCL policy documents, how they differ from security policy, and how a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) informs P/CRCL policy. This template was created with the goal of helping justice entities that do not have comprehensive P/CRCL policies to develop an appropriate policy according to the information that the justice entity collects, receives, maintains, archives, accesses, and discloses to entity personnel, government agencies, fusion centers, Information Sharing Environment (ISE) participants, and other participating criminal justice and public safety entities. This template document is organized into sections that represent fundamental components of a comprehensive policy, including baseline provisions on information collection, data quality, collation and analysis, records merging, information access and disclosure, redress, security safeguards, retention and destruction, accountability and enforcement, and training.
