Audit Requirement: Retention of Data Determine if the data collected by BWC’s are appropriately retained and destroyed in accordance with statutes. The St. Anthony Police Department utilizes the General Records Retention Schedule for Minnesota Cities and agency specified retention periods in the Arbitrator 360° Back-End Client software system. Either during, or at the conclusion of a BWC recording, an Arbitrator classification is assigned. Each Arbitrator classification has an associated retention period. Upon reaching the retention date, data is systematically deleted. A server log report of all data created and deleted during the audit period was provided. Randomly selected records from the server log report were reviewed and the date and time the data was created was verified against the deletion date. Each of the records were deleted or maintained in accordance with the record retention. All records were maintained for at least the minimum ninety (90) days required by statute. The St. Anthony Police Department had received no requests from data subjects to retain BWC data beyond the applicable retention period. Supervisors monitor categorization of BWC data to ensure data are appropriately retained and destroyed. No discrepancies noted.
