What is the primary focus of CCH in the context of TCIC/LETS?

The primary focus of the CCH, or Criminal History, in the context of TCIC/LETS (Texas Crime Information Center / Law Enforcement Telecommunication System) is to provide a comprehensive overview of an individual's criminal history. This encompasses all relevant information regarding an individual's interactions with the criminal justice system, including arrests, charges, and convictions.

Having access to an individual's criminal history is crucial for law enforcement, judicial proceedings, and various security and background checks. This information helps in assessing potential risks associated with individuals before making informed decisions regarding law enforcement actions, employment, or various legal matters.

While conducting crime scene investigations, assessing the likelihood of reoffending, and promoting public safety are important aspects of law enforcement and public policy, they do not directly represent the primary goal of the CCH. Instead, they relate to broader functions within the criminal justice system, which may utilize the comprehensive criminal history data that CCH provides for more effective overall operations.
