UOPD employees can send encrypted emails to comply with FBI CJIS policy. While some rules are in place on the Exchange server and Barracuda Email Security Gateway, it is still the user's responsibility to ensure that any information leaving UOPD's secure network is handled in a secure manner and not rely on automation that is in place.
