Who is permitted to use TCIC/NCIC information obtained over TLETS/Nlets?

The correct answer is that only authorized Criminal Justice Agencies are permitted to use TCIC/NCIC information obtained over TLETS/Nlets. This restriction is in place to maintain the integrity and security of sensitive information within law enforcement databases. Authorized Criminal Justice Agencies, such as police departments, sheriff's offices, and other law enforcement bodies, have been specifically trained and given legal permission to access this data for purposes such as investigations, background checks, or crime analysis.

The system is designed to support the enforcement of laws and to enhance public safety, ensuring that vital information is accessible to those who need it for their professional duties in the criminal justice field. This limited access helps minimize the risk of data misuse and protects the privacy of subjects whose information is contained within these databases. Other groups, such as private organizations or the general public, do not have the necessary training or legal authority to use this information responsibly, which is why they are not permitted access to TCIC/NCIC data.
