The Federal Bureau of Investigation mandates that the Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC) Council conduct audits of criminal justice agencies every three years to ensure adherence to relevant statutes, regulations, and policies.
Last week, Bainbridge Public Safety underwent an audit by GCIC to evaluate our compliance. Janette Mowry plays a key role in ensuring that we meet GCIC’s compliance requirements. She oversees the audit process and collaborates closely with the auditor. We are pleased to report that our department was found compliant in every area assessed.
This marks the first time we can recall the department achieving a perfect score on a GCIC audit. This accomplishment reflects the dedication of our entire team and the importance of each member’s contributions. We are proud of each of them for their hard work, and we would like to extend a special thanks to Janette for her efforts in keeping us compliant.
