FBI Criminal Justice Information Services Division

The FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division manages a variety of important databases related to criminal justice and public safety. It provides law enforcement agencies with access to critical information, such as fingerprint records, criminal histories, and missing persons databases. A key service is the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), which helps police track stolen property and wanted individuals. CJIS also ensures that sensitive data is handled securely, supporting efforts to prevent and solve crimes while maintaining the privacy and rights of individuals.
