What is the value of the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC) to investigators?
What will be an ideal response?
The NCIC is of great value to investigators. It contains online databases on wanted and missing persons; stolen guns, securities, articles, boats, license plates, and vehicles; criminal histories; foreign fugitives and deported felons; gang and terrorist members; and persons subject to protection orders. The newest generation, NCIC 2000, includes mug shots and other personal identifying images, such as scars and tattoos; images of vehicles; an enhanced name search; automated single-finger fingerprint matching; and information linking. The information in the online databases NCIC and NCIC 2000 can help investigators to associate logically related records across NCIC files for the same criminal or crime.
