Initial Vendor Screening Form

Before you take a vendor meeting or approve a pilot project, it’s essential to ensure the AI system is built for the realities of public safety.

‍

The Initial Vendor Screening Form helps your agency quickly identify red flags — from lack of audit logs to data misuse to missing kill switches. Designed for law enforcement and municipal IT teams, this form saves time, reduces procurement risk, and ensures vendor conversations start with transparency and accountability.

‍

It’s the first step in ClearCouncil’s responsible procurement process — and a safeguard for your agency’s legal and public trust.
