I am honored to be published in Officer.com! Many of you have reached out to me about the potential legal issues when using Signal, GroupMe, or WhatsApp when sharing Intel, CJIS, or sharing case information. We take an Oath of Office to uphold and enforce the law…we should NEVER break the law! If any specialty unit relies on these illegal Apps, contact me! I’ll give you complete access to Genasys CONNECT to protect your career!

Say the word and I’ll give you full access to Genasys CONNECT, the most secure and legally compliant platform for public safety and government! Email: [email protected]

Some of these platforms have extra layers of security to limit who can receive and save messages.
