This instructional video tape with three accompanying video facilitator guides provide law enforcement and criminal justice personnel with basic knowledge of National Crime Information Center (NCIC) policy and procedures. Expertise in NCIC operations will result in more efficient and effective criminal justice operations, help reduce liability, and assist in creating a safer environment for the entire criminal justice community.
Abstract
When you receive a hit from NCIC or your State system, all hits must be confirmed. Confirmation means the warrant or theft report is still outstanding and the person or property in the entry is identical with the person or property in the report. In the case of a wanted person, the entering agency must be willing to extradite. Save your documentation to cover your agency. Validation is accomplished by reviewing the original entry and current supporting documents, consulting with the appropriate complainant, victim, prosecutor, court, motor vehicle registry files, and other appropriate sources or individuals for the wanted person, missing person, and vehicle files, and retaining the record in NCIC if the information is found to be complete, accurate, and active. Each local agency has been required to designate a TAC. The APB established the requirement that all individuals using state and national criminal justice information systems must be trained. Accuracy of data, timeliness of entry, and completeness of information are equally important to establishing and maintaining quality data. The III may be used only for authorized criminal investigation or investigation of an individual who is being considered for criminal justice employment; or specific Federal agencies who are authorized to use III when conducting background investigations in conjunction with Federal security clearances.
