Amazon has recently formalized a Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) agreement with the City of Plano, Texas. This marks the eighth CJIS security addendum that Amazon has established with jurisdictions throughout the United States. The newly signed agreement enables the City of Plano to harness the advantages of Amazon GovCloud (US), which provides top-notch information security measures.
In a similar vein, Amazon has also entered into a CJIS agreement with the State of Utah, further expanding the list of jurisdictions collaborating with Amazon to utilize the benefits of AWS GovCloud (US). This initiative prioritizes the highest levels of data security for state and local law enforcement agencies, ensuring their sensitive information is well protected.
Moreover, Amazon has signed a CJIS agreement with the State of Oregon, joining California, Minnesota, and Colorado in empowering both state and local law enforcement agencies to utilize the AWS Cloud for sensitive data management. These security addenda are crucial for enabling law enforcement to handle sensitive materials, such as fingerprints and criminal histories, with utmost security.
In a broader context, Amazon has partnered with law enforcement, health officials, and public administrators from over 60 communities across the United States as part of the White House’s Data Driven Justice Initiative (DDJI). This collaboration aims to keep low-risk offenders out of the criminal justice system. It is vital for communities to use data effectively to ensure that non-dangerous individuals do not face unnecessary entanglement in the justice system.
