Stat. § 471.59, the BCA and the Agency are empowered to engage in those agreements that are necessary to <br />exercise their powers. Under Minn. Stat. § 299C.46 the BCA must provide a criminal justice data communications <br />network to benefit authorized agencies in Minnesota. The Agency is authorized by law to utilize the criminal justice data <br />communications network pursuant to the terms set out in this agreement. In addition, BCA either maintains repositories <br />of data or has access to repositories of data that benefit authorized agencies in performing their duties. Agency wants to <br />access these data in support of its official duties. <br /> <br />The purpose of this Agreement is to create a method by which the Agency has access to those systems and tools for which <br />it has eligibility, and to memorialize the requirements to obtain access and the limitations on the access. <br /> <br /> Agreement <br />1 Term of Agreement <br />1.1 Effective date: This Agreement is effective on the date the BCA obtains all required signatures under Minn. <br />Stat. § 16C.05, subdivision 2. <br />1.2 Expiration date: This Agreement expires five years from the date it is effective. <br /> <br />2 Agreement between the Parties <br />2.1 General access. BCA agrees to provide Agency with access to the Minnesota Criminal Justice Data <br />Communications Network (CJDN) and those systems and tools which the Agency is authorized by law to access via <br />the CJDN for the purposes outlined in Minn. Stat. § 299C.46. <br /> <br />2.2 Methods of access. <br />The BCA offers three (3) methods of access to its systems and tools. The methods of access are: <br /> <br />A. Direct access occurs when individual users at the Agency use Agency’s equipment to access the BCA’s <br />systems and tools. This is generally accomplished by an individual user entering a query into one of BCA’s <br />systems or tools. <br /> <br />B. Indirect access occurs when individual users at the Agency go to another Agency to obtain data and <br />information from BCA’s systems and tools. This method of access generally results in the Agency with indirect <br />access obtaining the needed data and information in a physical format like a paper report. <br /> <br />C. Computer-to-computer system interface occurs when Agency’s computer exchanges data and information <br />with BCA’s computer systems and tools using an interface. Without limitation, interface types include: state <br />message switch, web services, enterprise service bus and message queuing. <br /> <br />For purposes of this Agreement, Agency employees or contractors may use any of these methods to use BCA’s <br />systems and tools as described in this Agreement. Agency will select a method of access and can change the <br />methodology following the process in Clause 2.10. <br /> <br />2.3 Federal systems access. In addition, pursuant to 28 CFR §20.30-38 and Minn. Stat. §299C.58, BCA may provide <br />Agency with access to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Crime Information Center. <br /> <br /> <br />13
