The Agency is authorized by law to utilize the criminal justice <br /> data communications network pursuant to the terms set out in this agreement. In addition, BCA either maintains <br /> repositories of data or has access to repositories of data that benefit criminal justice agencies in performing their duties. <br /> Agency wants to access these data in support of its criminal justice duties. <br /> The purpose of this Agreement is to create a method by which the Agency has access to those systems and tools for which <br /> it has eligibility, and to memorialize the requirements to obtain access and the limitations on the access. <br /> Agreement <br /> 1 Term of Agreement <br /> 1.1 Effective date: This Agreement is effective on the date the BCA obtains all required signatures under Minn. <br /> Stat. § 16C.05, subdivision 2. <br /> 1.2 Expiration date: This Agreement expires five years from the date it is effective. <br /> 2 Agreement between the Parties <br /> 2.1 General access. BCA agrees to provide Agency with access to the Minnesota Criminal Justice Data <br /> Communications Network (CJDN) and those systems and tools which the Agency is authorized by law to access via <br /> the CJDN for the purposes outlined in Minn. Stat. § 299C.46. <br /> 2.2 Methods of access. <br /> The BCA offers three (3) methods of access to its systems and tools. The methods of access are: <br /> A. Direct access occurs when individual users at the Agency use Agency's equipment to access the BCA's <br /> systems and tools. This is generally accomplished by an individual user entering a query into one of BCA's <br /> systems or tools. <br /> B.
