Agency Chief Executives:

All agencies that activate their OPS Network™ do so through a very stringent validation process that includes several steps:

1. Agency ORI submission and verification.
2. Authorized governmental email verification.
3. Agency phone verification.

Each agency is claimed by the authorized executive officer via the above verification process and by registering a user account and activating the agency’s OPS Network™, the agency (and its executive officer) agrees that the authorized executive is the responsible “Master Administrator” of their respective OPS Network™ and is responsible for the overall management and security of their respective OPS Network™ and for those members that are accepted to operate under the agency. The agency administrator may direct another agency member(s) to manage the agency OPS Network™ on their behalf, and provide permissions to do so via the OPS Network™ staff permissions tools, but the ultimate responsibility for any breaches or violations belong to the agency chief executive/ master administrator. When an “Authorized Executive Officer” for an agency retires, leaves or severs ties with an agency, the agency must notify Online Policing Solutions, Inc. IMMEDIATELY, so that the “Authorized Executive Officer” can be removed and the appropriate “Authorized Executive Officer” can be verified. In addition, by accessing the OPS Network™, the agency executive, as do all users, agree to abide by, and are acknowledging that they have read and understand, the OPS Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and the Basic Acceptable Use Policy (BAUP).
