Persons of Concern (POC) Overview
The Persons of Concern (POC) module is a centralized database for tracking individuals who may pose a safety risk to the organization. This feature replaces traditional “BOLO” (Be On the Look Out) binders and scattered digital files.
Purpose
The POC system allows safety teams to:
- Identify known threats or individuals requiring monitoring.
- Document interactions, descriptions, and vehicles.
- Enforce Criminal Trespass Warnings (CTWs) and bans.
- Protect the congregation through shared situational awareness.
POC Status Levels
Each Person of Concern is assigned a status that dictates how the safety team should respond.
| Status | Meaning | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| Watch | Use caution. Monitor behavior. | Observe and report any suspicious activity. |
| Warned | Has received a verbal warning. | Monitor closely. Document presence. |
| CTW Active | criminal Trespass Warning issued. | Arrest authorized. Contact LEO if present. |
| Banned | Organization-initiated ban (Civil). | Deny entry. Request to leave. |
[!WARNING] A CTW Active status means law enforcement has already issued a formal warning. If the individual is on the property, they are committing a crime.
Privacy & Access Control
Access to POC data is strictly controlled due to its sensitive nature.
- Safety Team Members: Can view all Active POCs.
- Leadership: Can create and edit POC profiles.
- Applicants: No access to POC data.
- Public: No access at all.
POC Data
A standard POC profile includes:
- Identity: Name, known aliases, physical description.
- Photos: Primary “mugshot” and surveillance captures.
- Vehicle: Make, model, color, license plate.
- History: Linked incidents and notes.
