Support for Public Safety Computers

CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Services) clearance is required in order to work on computers in Public Safety. This includes in-person work as well as remote support.

It is okay to help a Public Safety customer via phone or email, but you cannot do a remote session (i.e. look at their computer) unless you have completed your CJIS certification and been fingerprinted.

Many of us have completed the CJIS training but have not yet completed the finger-printing. Both parts are required for CJIS.

If a customer asks you if you are CJIS cleared and you are not, please ask in the “SD Internal Talk” channel for another technician to pass the call to. In some cases we may need to call the customer back.

Thanks to Michael Jereza and Lucas Friedrichsen for the quick fix!

Welcome Letter to New ONID Users Bouncing as Undeliverable

The problem started after the old Cyrus mail system was completely sunset recently.
