AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: Correy Farniok Reviewed By: DJR Approved By: DJR <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval of LEO Web Protect Inc. (LWP) for police <br />officers and other city staff. <br /> <br />Background. In the last year officers/staff have received several notifications from companies and vendors <br />that city employees’ information may have been breached. This has included State programs as well as <br />other sources that employees have subscribed to for business purposes. Staff and officers deal with people <br />that may be affiliated with organizations that may target law enforcement, judges, others in the judicial <br />system including their families. We have experience this first hand with officers and a judge that lives in <br />our community. The ease in which a person can find and obtain private information via the internet on a <br />intended victim and their family is overwhelming. In the past this information has been used to place liens <br />on officer’s homes and used to stalk and harass their intended victims. The city uses many vendors that has <br />access to our private data. We can assume that each of these have safeguards in place to protect private <br />data, but it is all too often that we hear of companies and even the State of MN sending out messages of <br />data breaches of their systems. <br /> <br />LEO Web Protect Inc. (LWP) specializes in the removal of personal private information from the Internet. <br />LWP is a fully managed comprehensive online privacy solution. LWP continuously removes personal <br />information from the Internet. Several area departments currently utilize this product including the cities <br />of Brooklyn Center, Minneapolis Police Federation and Bloomington Police Federation. <br /> <br /> <br />Cost. Per member cost is $74.99 annually or $3.11 per pay period. 30 members of the police department <br />would be $2,249.30 annual cost. If you add city supervisor staff (5) additional members the total cost would <br />be $2,624.65. <br /> <br />Funding. Funding for this would be from the general fund budget of each department. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation. I would recommend the approval of LWP for licensed police officers (30) and <br />city supervisory staff as a coat of $2624.65 annually. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br /> <br />Motion to approve the LEO Web Protect for 35 city employees at an annual rate of $2,624.65 <br /> <br /> <br />Item No.: 7 Date: September 28, 2020 <br />Item Description: Approval of Data Privacy Program <br />Presenter: Correy Farniok <br />Police Chief <br />Agenda <br />Section: <br />Consent Agenda
