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.

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.

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.
