Who has the authority to suspend or revoke an operator's certification for policy violations?

The authority to suspend or revoke an operator's certification for policy violations lies with the SLED CJIS Systems Officer. This role is crucial in maintaining the integrity and compliance of the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) systems. The SLED (South Carolina Law Enforcement Division) CJIS Systems Officer is responsible for overseeing the use and adherence to protocols regarding criminal justice data, including ensuring that operators follow established guidelines and policies.

By having this accountability structure in place, it allows for a centralized approach to managing certifications and ensures that any violations are addressed appropriately in line with state policies. This is vital for maintaining the security and professional standards expected of individuals who have access to sensitive data within law enforcement operations.
