1,i�. •�-ti � � ]i Search for Parolee Information An authorized agency is not limited in the number of Parole LEADS "search query" users. A Parole LEADS end user must have an internet connection utilizing one of the following web browsers: — Mozilla Firefox Version 3.5 or later — Microsoft's Internet Explorer Version 7 or later The end user generates a search query to obtain specific information on parolees. The search query is processed by the Parole LEADS Web Server to retrieve relevant DAPO parolee database records. The results of this query are then displayed to the user. Request and response transactions are encrypted between the Parole LEADS end user and the Web Server. Parole LEADS Information Security Policy CDCR Department Operations Manual, Section 49020.1 (05/20/2013) states "It is the policy of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to protect against the unauthorized modification, deletion, or disclosure of information included in agency files and databases. The Department regards its information assets, including data processing capabilities and automated files, to be essential resources. The Department shall assume full responsibility for ensuring the security and integrity of its information resources." CDCR regards its information assets, including data processing capabilities and automated files, to be essential public resources. Many aspects of CDCR's operation would effectively cease in the absence of critical computer systems, including automated systems necessary for the protection of the public, staff and offenders in the custody or control of CDCR. Accordingly, the agency must assume full responsibility for the proper use and protection of Parole LEADS information in its possession. Parole LEADS Information Ownership and Custodial Responsibility The CORI available on Parole LEADS is owned by the DAPO. Once a Parole LEADS database download or query is accomplished, the agency assumes full custodial responsibility for this CORI, while DAPO maintains ownership. The agency has no authority to share, reproduce, publish or disseminate Parole LEADS information outside its agency or to use this information for non -law enforcement purposes. This is in no way intended to restrict the agency from providing this information to multiple sites within its agency. As with any CORI, Parole LEADS information may not be publicly broadcast unless it is encrypted. Since the State Department of Justice (DOJ) has legal oversight for compliance with CORI statutes, users or custodians of Parole LEADS information must also comply with DOJ's published "CLETS Policies, Practices, and Procedures." Note: The DOJ publication "CLET Policies, Practices and Procedures" is available via the internet at the following site: CLETS, Policies. Practices, and Procedures. This document is available for download in the PDF format that requires Adobe Acrobat Reader. The CLETS site above has a link to the site that makes the Adobe Acrobat Reader available for download. Parole LEADS Security Concept of Operations The Parole LEADS end users are required to use Mozilla (version 3.5 or later) or Microsoft's Internet Explorer (version 7.0 or later) browsers which applies the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with 128-bit encryption. User identification and authentication is accomplished through the use of a reusable logon identifier and password at the Parole LEADS Web Server. Security management provided by the Parole LEADS Security Administrator can be contacted at ParoleLEADS2@cdcr.ca.gov.
