The Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS) is a division of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). A computerized criminal justice information system that is a counterpart of FBI’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC) in Washington, and is maintained by Department of Justice (DOJ) in each state. It is available to authorized local, state, and federal law enforcement and criminal justice agencies via any of the three law enforcement communication systems – National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NLETS), the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS), and the International Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (INLETS). Usually CJIS offers a much wider range of information nationwide and more precise inquiry search parameters than NCIC. CJIS consists of several databases and one subsystem, and its retrieval and update capabilities are online.

Major Databases

  • Wanted Persons System (WPS)
  • Stolen Vehicle System (SVS)
  • Automated Firearms System (AFS)
  • Automated Boat System (ABS)
  • Automated Property/Stolen Bicycle System
  • Automated Criminal Intelligence Index/Western States Information Network (WSIN)
  • Adult Criminal Justice Statistical System (ACJSS)

Subsystems

Automated Criminal History System (ACHS) is a subsystem of Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS). ACHS consists of several databases and indices. The master database of ACHS contains comprehensive information on persons within the state of California who have been arrested and fingerprinted for major crimes. It also includes the nature of the crime and the disposition of the case, including details as to the name of the penal institution, if the person was convicted and the status of the person’s probation or parole.
