MANAGEMENT CONTROL AGREEMENT FOR
DAKOTA COMMUNICATIONS CENTER
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to enter into a management control
agreement with the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office for the Dakota Communications Center.
Overview
The Dakota Communications Center (“DCC”) is a joint powers organization. It is a countywide
public safety answering point and communications center for law enforcement, fire, emergency
services, and other public safety services in Dakota County. It has been determined by the federal
government that independent Communications Centers, such as DCC, are not considered to be
law enforcement agencies.
DCC has access to the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS). CJIS provides data such as
criminal backgrounds of individuals. According to the CJIS Security policy, the data provided by
CJIS is private and for law enforcement agencies only.
The CJIS Security Policy also states that when criminal justice functions are performed by a non-
criminal justice agency there must be a Management Control Agreement (MCA) with a criminal
justice agency. Dakota County agencies do not have a MCA with DCC.
Upon recommendation by the DCC Executive Committee, DCC wishes to enter into a MCA
with the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office. This agreement would ensure that DCC and Dakota
County agencies are in compliance with the Criminal Justice Information Services Security
Policy.
