OT: Went down to Gun Registration the other day to register a new duty carbine (Sorry Court).  On the registration form there was a spot to put in my Social Security Number.  I left it blank and turned the form in.  The gun registration officer told me that without putting the number in, he could not accept my application.   I informed and showed him section 6.11 of the Contract with the City that states, "The Social Security Number of an officer covered by this Agreement shall not be disclosed and shall not be included on documents, except those essential for payroll or compensation purposes."   This has been in effect since 01 Jul 07.  I put in my number on the form and then returned to my district and put in a grievance.  I called FOP and informed them of my actions.  Yesterday I was informed by FOP that they had contacted the City and we will no longer be required to put our social security number on the gun registration form.  Fine, thank you FOP.  However there are thousands of old forms that have our social security numbers on them as well as computer files!  I requested that all old forms have our social security numbers redacted and computer files erased.  The collection of these numbers has gone on since 2007, seven years after we got it prohibited by contract!  If in your job you know that social security numbers are recorded for purposes other than allowed by contract, please let the Lodge know!
