Lastly, by continuing with this request, you acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to the following statements:

• I am familiar with the substance and intent of the guidelines referenced above, and any other guidelines that I was provided with before completing this agreement.
• I agree to abide by all related policies and procedures, to use the computer systems and disclose information only as authorized by the program manager in connection with the performance of my duties as an employee. For purposes of this policy, “employee” includes all persons employed by the agency or organization where there is remuneration for such employment. Additionally, individuals who are considered to be volunteers or interns providing services are employees under this policy.
• I agree to report any arrests, court proceedings, or other personal events to my supervisor that may change my suitability to use the computer systems.
• I understand that in fulfilling my assigned responsibilities, I may be granted access to certain information systems in connection with my work with CJIS-CT.
• I agree to access and use the data only for the performance of my official duties and not for personal reasons or curiosity.
• I acknowledge the need for maintaining the strictest confidentiality of the data with which I will be working in connection with CJIS-CT.
• I will maintain secure custody of any printed or electronic material that contains confidential CJIS-CT data or information.
• I will maintain secure custody of any physical data that may be in my possession as it relates to my assigned responsibilities.
• I understand that I remain subject to these confidentiality provisions with regard to any confidential information to which I am given access in connection with my work on CJIS-CT projects, even following my departure from the program or termination of my employment with my current employer.
• I agree to immediately report to my supervisor any breach of this agreement, accidental or otherwise, or any loss of confidential information.
• I agree to ensure my device on which I am accessing CISS shall prevent further access to the system by initiating a session lock after a maximum of 30 minutes of inactivity, and the session lock remains in effect until I reestablish access using appropriate identification and authentication procedures. I also agree to directly initiate a session lock mechanism to prevent inadvertent viewing when my device is unattended. Devices located within a physically secure location (police car or police building) are exempt from this requirement. Note: an example of a session lock is a screen saver with password.
• I understand that if I do not secure, or if I misuse, the CJIS-CT information under my control, I may be subject to any applicable civil and/or criminal sanctions, and to administrative sanctions of my employer.
