Ana asked, in part:

I'm interested in finding out (especially for other government agencies -
state or federal level but opened to best practices from everyone):
*       What are your retention policies for these types of records
*       How do you define an incident (if that defines the trigger for your
retention)
*       What is your implementation process
*       Any additional information, procedures you could provide...

---

Additional questions that come to mind (understanding these may vary by
agency whom the records belong to) include:

-Is this a reasonable retention period based on technology in use? Some
systems may overwrite sooner unless that which is considered an incident is
taken off the original place recorded.
-What is the retention for non-incident recordings? Again if an incident is
not recognized/reported soon enough it may be deleted/overwritten before
preserved.

Many/most newer security systems I am aware of record on a hard drive with
limited space that loops like a home DVR, overwriting the oldest content
with new content, unlike older systems where tape is removed, replaced,
stored for some time and then reused.
