The Carbon County Commission on Aug. 20, 2025, approved a media protection policy the county said is required by the Utah Bureau of Criminal Investigation as a condition for accessing BCI data.
Mary Horsley presented the policy to commissioners, saying the directive covers both electronic media and paper records and prescribes how records are maintained, secured and destroyed. "This policy satisfies the need for us to access their data," Horsley said.
A commissioner moved to approve the Carbon County media protection policy as a continuation of prior IT and county policies; another commissioner seconded the motion. The motion carried with all commissioners voting in favor.
County staff said the policy establishes procedures for handling sensitive media and is intended to meet BCI contractual or regulatory requirements so the county can continue to receive criminal-investigation-related data for use by local law enforcement and records management systems. The commission did not alter the policy language at the meeting.
The approved policy will be implemented by county IT and relevant departments to control access to and retention of electronic and paper records in accordance with the BCI requirement presented at the meeting.
