The KST file is restricted for use by which type of agency?

The KST (Key Support Tool) file is specifically designed for use by law enforcement agencies. This restriction is in place to ensure that sensitive data and intelligence, which can include criminal history information and other law enforcement-sensitive information, are only accessed by trained professionals who are directly involved in law enforcement activities.

By limiting access to law enforcement agencies, it helps maintain the integrity and confidentiality of the information contained within the KST file, which is crucial for effective policing and investigative operations. This ensures that the data is used appropriately and responsibly, reinforcing the trust and safety of the communities served by these agencies.
