Smartphones provide operational benefits that can be significantly expanded if officers can access criminal justice databases. This requires compliance with Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) policy and can be somewhat challenging. This workshop will provide clear guidance on key areas, including multi-factor authentication, mobile device management, encryption requirements, and compensating control options. Presenters include the FBI CJIS Information Security Officer who administers the CJIS Security Policy, an agency IT manager with more than 30 years of experience who achieved approval for criminal justice information (CJI) query on department smartphones, and a practitioner who authored a guide to assist agencies in achieving CJIS compliance with smartphones.
