Can 911 audio analysis run on CJIS data or on-premises?

Yes, and it generally must. Because 911 and dispatch audio is criminal justice information and often captures victims and minors, the analysis should run on-premises, in a government cloud, or air-gapped, with self-hosted models so the recordings and the processing stay inside the agency's perimeter rather than going to a public AI service.

Is password protection on a shared link enough to secure digital evidence?

No. Password protection is one layer, but it does not prevent an authorized user from downloading the file, sharing the password with others, or accessing the evidence after the intended review window. True secure sharing requires link expiry, download restrictions, IP controls, HTTPS enforcement, and redaction of PII working together.
