45 commentsThis pilot fish is meeting with the local sheriff, discussing IT security and personnel records.
"The sheriff presented his new program to streamline the application process in becoming a deputy, and its integration with the National Crime Information Center and FBI databases for background checking," says fish. "Very important and very sensitive information."
How is the information secured? fish asks sheriff.
"It's on the F: drive," sheriff says. "The F: drive has all the super-secure information -- gangs, undercover operations, etc."
Who has access to the F: drive? asks fish.
"Only the gang operatives, undercover ops, background investigation detectives and I have access to that sensitive data."
How about the IT staff?
"Yes, of course."
Are the IT staff sworn officers, and were they background checked?
Reports fish, "The sheriff went bright red. 'No' was the whimpered response."
