Update on Public Records and Data Security

I sent a Memo to the Board of Commissioners updating them on my efforts to reassess our internal policies. Excerpt from the update:

My office will be consulting with Guilford County Information Services, County Attorney, Sheriff’s Department, NC Institute of Government, NC Vital Records, Attorney General's office and others over the next 90 days.

This effort will allow us to revise our internal procedures related to public records with increased emphasis on data security and fraud prevention while preserving our ongoing commitment to serve the public consistent with NC General Statutes. This consultative effort will cover a multitude of areas in the office including land and vital records and will guide our daily operations in the future.

I will update the Board with these updated policies as soon as they are finalized.
