System and method for non-law enforcement entities to conduct checks using law enforcement restricted databases

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a system by which non-law enforcement operator(s) can conduct checks (requests, queries or searches) against CJIS (Criminal Justice Information System), NCIC (National Criminal Information Center) and other law enforcement only secure databases and comply with the rules and regulations for disseminating such data. In doing so, the invention provides for a system and process by which the checks (request, queries or searches) of individuals and/or articles are made against the CJIS/NCIC and/or other “law enforcement only” restricted databases, such that the indicia relating to persons and/or articles is compared with said databases. The resulting information regarding matches (and, in certain embodiments, non-matching results) flows to law enforcement officials so that they may use any results deemed relevant for response thereto. Said responses may vary, but in one embodiment, may provide for at least the notification of non-law enforcement operator who originated the above-described checks.
