NCJIS Compliance Unit
The primary function of the Nevada Criminal Justice
Information System (NCJIS) is to provide an efficient and effective system for
the expeditious exchange of criminal justice and related information. Within
the Central Repository, the NCJIS Compliance Unit (NCU) performs several duties
in regard to compliance with the federal and state statutes. The duties include
providing access, training the user communities, and conducting compliance
audits.NCU monitors
criminal justice and Noncriminal Justice agency access to
Criminal Justice Information (CJI) throughout the entire State of Nevada. NCU
is responsible for system testing and troubleshooting. The unit works
along with federal local and state agencies to maintain FBI compliance.
This includes the use of CJI, and the National Fingerprint based background
checks that are conducted by agencies.
Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Quality Assurance &
Training
The Nevada UCR team collects NIBRS data,
domestic violence data, crimes against the elderly data, and Use-of-Force data.
The team also provides training and assistance when it comes to reporting the
data. The data that is collected by the Nevada UCR team can be found at Nevada Crime Statistics. For
any assistance, please contact ucr@dps.state.nv.us.
Civil Name Check (CNC) Program
The Civil Name Check (CNC) Program is designed
to provide criminal history record information to authorized Repository users
based upon an inquiry made by name and numeric identifiers rather than
fingerprints. This information is for users to make informed employment
decisions.
Note: This program is available to only those
users that will directly employ the person about whom they are performing the
Civil Name Check and to third party agencies that provide background services
to the employer. For any assistance, please contact civilauditor@dps.state.nv.us.
Criminal Audits & Training
The NCJIS Compliance Unit Criminal Audit Team
coordinates and monitors access to NCJIS, III, and NCIC in accordance with the
CJIS Security Policy and NCIC Operating Manual. The Criminal Audit Team
includes our Terminal Agency Coordinator (TAC) Trainer who is responsible for
training and certifying all Law Enforcement Agency TACs within 6 months of
appointment and biannually thereafter. The criminal audit team also monitors
the use of the NICS and N-Dex systems. The audit team performs audits on a

Non-Criminal Justice (Civil) Audits and Training
Under
state and federal law, the Records Communication and Compliance Division (RCCD)
is authorized to provide Criminal History Records Information (CHRI) to
governmental and non-governmental agencies, for non-criminal justice purposes.
These purposes include background checks for employment, volunteers, licensure
etc. To access this information, an agency must have an approved federal
statute/state statute/local code approved by the United States Attorney General
or qualify under the National Child Protection Act (NCPA) amended by the
Volunteers for Children Act (VCA) to receive this information.
The
Non-criminal Justice auditor(s)/trainer(s) are tasked with providing triennial
audits on all agencies accessing CHRI; and to provide training to all
non-criminal justice agencies to ensure agencies are accessing and protecting
criminal history record information correctly. For any assistance,
please contact civilauditor@dps.state.nv.us.
