Which of the following is a prohibited use of NCIC/SLED CJIS information?

The use of NCIC/SLED CJIS information is strictly regulated to ensure that sensitive data is used appropriately and only for authorized purposes. Personal investigations do not fall within the established guidelines for permissible use of this information. The NCIC database is meant to support law enforcement and is intended for official purposes such as criminal investigations, public safety, and securing court proceedings.

In contrast, employee background checks, internal audits, and court cases involving criminal activities can be considered legitimate and authorized uses, as they typically relate to the oversight and administration of law enforcement activities or proceedings. Therefore, conducting a personal investigation would misuse the data, as it does not pertain to the safety or legal frameworks that the NCIC/SLED CJIS databases are designed to support.
