All information contained within King County that was submitted by law enforcement
to be shared only by other law enforcement agencies, which agencies are both permitted
and restricted by law to handle Criminal History information and Juvenile information
and other confidential information within the context of state and federal law, is to
be considered "sensitive law enforcement" information. In order to maintain the integrity
of this sensitive information (as defined above) it will be accorded proper management
and security, and will only be handled by personnel who have been back grounded for law
enforcement work and who have been trained in the appropriate handling of such sensitive
information as required by state and federal law. Activity associated with any aspect of
the King County information sharing system is subject to detailed monitoring and audits
of all activity to protect against improper or unauthorized use, access or dissemination
of "sensitive information". Unauthorized use, which includes requests, dissemination,
sharing, copying or receipt of King County information, could result in civil proceedings
against the offending agency and/or criminal proceedings against any user or other person
involved. Violations or misuse may also subject the user and the user's agency to
administrative sanctions and possible disciplinary action by their agency, subject to due
process, against its employee(s) and could result in King County access termination or
termination of the King County agreement with the offending agency involved. Accessing the
King County system by any individual or agency constitutes their consent to the monitoring
of all King County related activities and consent to the suspension or termination of their
access privileges during or following any audit.
