LAPD Drops Google Apps Citing Security Issues

ComputerWorld reports that after more than two years, the city of Los Angeles has abandoned plans to migrate its police operations to Google’s hosted email and office applications because it says the service can’t meet FBI security requirements.

The city council last month voted to amend a 2009 contract calling for Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC) to undertake a wholesale replacement of the city’s GroupWise email system with Google’s email and collaboration services.

The amended pact cuts the Los Angeles Police Department and its nearly 13,000 employees out of the project.

It is a matter of time before other government agencies come to the same conclusion about the security of Google Apps.
