      PD and modern don't mix because of their "security standards".

      Idk who is worse the FD or the PD

      It's all government. :crying_face:

      Look at the gap between protecting public information and defense information. When it comes to defense information, they pay billions of dollars for information security. When it comes to protecting tax payer's services that affect the tax payer on a daily basis, they have the absolute worst security practice possible.

      Well from an FD POV, what is there that they need to protect?

      From a PD POV - the information they have in general should mostly be a matter of public record, so keeping it from hackers seems slightly unnecessary - that said, you still don't want hackers using the resources for non PD functions.

        So everyone not in healthcare, finance, PCI, or defense doesnt need to protect their workstations, applications, and servers? That is news to me.

          Well, the military is putting weapons systems online with no security, do you expect a state or local police department to be more competent?
