To whom should requests from other law enforcement agencies to view security electronic storage media be referred?

Requests from other law enforcement agencies to view security electronic storage media should be referred to the Legal Liaison Section (LLS) because this division is typically responsible for managing legal requests and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations regarding the release of sensitive information. The LLS is equipped to handle the legal implications of such requests and can assess whether the request meets the necessary criteria for disclosure, protecting both the integrity of the investigation and the privacy rights of individuals involved.

The involvement of the Legal Liaison Section ensures that requests are evaluated thoroughly and processed appropriately within the legal framework. This step is critical to maintain operational integrity and avoid any potential legal issues that may arise from unauthorized access to security media.

In contrast, other options may not have the requisite oversight or legal knowledge to handle such requests properly. For instance, the Maintenance Department primarily focuses on the upkeep of equipment rather than legal access issues, while the Record Keeping Unit focuses on documentation rather than legal compliance. The Security Operations Center is primarily concerned with maintaining security protocols and monitoring rather than addressing legal requests from outside agencies.
