2 <br /> Previously, recordings involving a citizen complaint or internal investigations were governed by <br /> confidentiality provisions in NCGS §§ 132-1.1(a) and 153A-98, respectively, and separate <br /> retention and disposition periods applied. The amendment updates the confidentiality citation <br /> for these recordings, which are governed by § 132-1.4A, et. seq and establishes a 30 day <br /> retention period for audio and video recordings. The retention period is longer if the recordings <br /> are made part of a criminal case file. These retentions periods are consistent with the Sheriff's <br /> comments during the October 6, 2016 work session on body camera recordings. <br /> The Sheriff's Office recommends approval of the amendment. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact related to the retention schedule <br /> amendment. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Social Justice Goal is applicable to this agenda <br /> item: <br /> • GOAL: FOSTER A COMMUNITY CULTURE THAT REJECTS OPPRESSION AND <br /> INEQUITY <br /> The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or color; <br /> religious or philosophical beliefs; sex, gender or sexual orientation; national origin or <br /> ethnic background; age; military service; disability; and familial, residential or economic <br /> status. <br /> Compliance with the County Sheriffs Office: Records Retention and Disposition Schedule <br /> furthers the above Goal. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br /> • approve the County Sheriffs Office: Records Retention Schedule Amendment, dated <br /> October 1, 2016; and <br /> • authorize the Chair to sign the Amendment. <br />
