Ok, there seems to be quite a bit of interest in this, so instead of replying to 
everyone individually, here's my story and in stickin to it!

Yes we've implemented a rather stringent security policy. I got them straight off the 
SANS website:

http://www.sans.org/newlook/resources/policies/policies.htm 

Just replace all the instances of <COMPANY NAME> with your company's name or 
oranization. Then go through and tweak appropriately. There are also kits you can buy 
for about $500.00 that also have boiler plate policies, heres and example: 
http://www.baselinesoft.com/

Or if that's too much work for you, you can always pay a secruity company $10,000 to 
do it for your you.

cheerios..

Marc.

Hopefully this is not too off topic:

I am looking for feedback from fellow security professionals who have
experiences with local governments (state, county, city). Could you please
let me know the success rate of implementing a security policy in these type
of organizations. In other words, do or did you not succeed in writing a
security policy for the organization? And, what references could you supply
me as a model for creating our own security policy.
