Three of San Joaquin County’s top law enforcement offices have the least secure computer systems of all local agencies, according to a Civil grand jury report published today.
All but two of the County’s seven cities failed to measure up, the 2008-09 grand jury reported. This is the first time a grand jury in San Joaquin County has investigated information technology systems.
The report says that offices of the San Joaquin County Sheriff, District Attorney and Public Defender failed to meet expectations for securing information technology systems. The County’s Agricultural Commissioner’s Office also didn’t meet expectations, the report found. Another nine agencies met expectations.
The grand jury launched its probe into the county’s 13 agencies and seven incorporated cities under the notion that each organization increasingly holds sensitive information collected from local businesses and citizens.
Lathrop and Escalon were the only two cities that passed the informal audit, while the county’s other five municipalities failed, the grand jury found.
