A Community Corrections subsidy will purchase a server and Splunk, a software program that is used by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. These surplus funds need to be used by June 30, according to Kami Genz, Community Corrections supervisor, who spoke at the May 14 meeting of the Aitkin County Board.

Genz and IT Manager Chris Sutch explained the details and need for the equipment. The server and software will meet new requirements for data storage. Sutch said he has been reviewing the options since January and chose Splunk because it is used by the BCA and also has room to expand.
