PRESS STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN WILLIAM E. KENNARD ON ADOPTION OF CALEA RULES


Our actions today will help ensure that law enforcement has the most up-to-date technology to fight crime. We have carefully balanced law enforcement’s needs against the rights of all Americans to privacy, and the cost to industry of providing these tools to assist law enforcement.
