Law Enforcement Information Sharing Program

Privacy and Security Policies

Privacy Policy

  • DOJ will protect personal information against unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure, including maintaining a record of the identity of the agency and person accessing and disseminating the information in accordance with the Privacy Act.

  • DOJ will limit the sharing of information to the fulfillment of a stated law enforcement purpose (i.e., for the identification and pursuit of suspected criminals, to bring offenders to trial or to protect the safety of law enforcement officers).

  • DOJ will train its employees on privacy protection requirements and conduct periodic privacy and security audits.

To meet requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974 and the e-Government Act of 2002, DOJ is required to perform several reviews to ensure that sensitive and personally identifiable information is well managed and protected. A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), a System of Records Notices (SORN) and a full security certification/accreditation was conducted for OneDOJ and its infrastructure environment to meet this requirement.

See DOJ's Office of Privacy and Civil Liberties for more information.

Security Policy

DOJ considers the FBI Criminal Justice Information Systems (CJIS) security policy as a baseline standard for protecting sensitive law enforcement information. DOJ will operate and maintain the OneDOJ system in accordance with the CJIS Security Policy and we expect our partners to comply as well.
