Lawsuits stemming from mismanagement of records and data are on the rise and usually result from a lack of quality control and planning, backlogs of pending requests for records, insufficient policy and training, and faulty crime data.

Attendees will participate in strategic risk analysis and prevention, and learn how to implement the approaches needed to protect the agency. You’ll receive various resources/tools for agency- and self-assessment risk analysis, measuring key performance indicators, and keeping track of productivity.
