The Crestview Police Department is entering an interagency agreement with the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office to routinely share criminal justice information (CJI), primarily offense reports, using a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) mechanism. Both agencies are FBI and FDLE‑recognized criminal justice agencies and must comply with the FBI CJIS Security Policy and FDLE user agreements for any electronic exchange. The agreement formalizes rules for authorized use, encryption, device controls (banning access from personally owned devices and requiring agency‑managed, patched endpoints with antivirus), retention, destruction, and incident reporting.While no new procurement is attached to this agreement, it underscores ongoing needs in secure file transfer, endpoint security, monitoring, and CJIS compliance that IT and security vendors can address within existing or future infrastructure budgets.

CJI will primarily move via automated SFTP file transfers; phone and paper exchange remains allowed when necessary.

The relevant next conversation would be around how the housing authority will meet the new reporting requirements.

Contract Award

At the July 20, 2026 meeting record, the town approved a purchase order for desktop computer replacements for the Police Department and Highway. The purchase was for Lakes Region Computer, which quoted Lenovo ThinkPad and Lenovo ThinkCentre systems. The order totaled $7,225, with implementation effectively selected already. A seller would treat this as incumbent and deployment intelligence, plus a cue for future refresh cycles.

The remote instruction plan says grades K-2 will use Seesaw and grades 3-12 will use Google Classroom. It also describes device checkout, internet access support, and offline alternatives for students who cannot use digital tools. Those platforms are already selected and in use, so this is follow-on implementation and support intelligence rather than an open bid. It ties directly to emergency closure continuity.
