Minnesota Security Consortium - MNSec <br />Bringing Information Security to Local Minnesota Governments <br />Biennial Audits: <br />Orono Police Department has acknowledged that it intends to continue completing biennial audits of its <br />BWC System, as required by Minn. Stat. § 13.825, Subd. 9. This was their second audit, with the previous <br />one being two years ago in 2023. Orono Police Department was compliant with these aspects of the <br />Statute. <br />BWC System Vendors: <br />At the time of the audit, Motorola/WatchGuard was the primary vendor and system for their BWC <br />program. BWC videos were recorded, classified, and stored Cloud based WatchGuard system. <br />Because Watchguard is a cloud -based solution, it is subject to the requirements of Minn. Stat. § 13.825, <br />Subd. 11 (b), which requires Motorola/WatchGuard to follow the requirements of the FBI's CJIS Policy <br />5.9.1 or subsequent versions. <br />At the time of this audit, this was the best documentation we could find for the vendor's compliancy: <br />https://www.motorolasolutions.com/en us/compliance.html <br />https://www.motorolasolutions.com/content/dam/msi/docs/products/command-center- <br />software/emergency-call-handling/securing-public-safety-software-in-the-cloud-final-whitepaper.pdf <br />Motorola / Watchguard was still not listed as an approved BCA Vendor for BWC data, but is listed for <br />RMS and LPR products. Minnesota BCA has indicated that Motorola is in the process of going through <br />the vetting process. This does not mean that Motorola is not CAS Compliant. <br />https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/bca/bca-divisions/mniis/Pages/bca-vendor-screening-program.aspx <br />Orono Police Department 2025 BWC Audit Executive Summary <br />Page 6of7 <br />61 <br />
