About CJIS

The CJIS Security Policy is a set of security standards created by the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division. It governs how Criminal Justice Information (CJI) is accessed, handled, transmitted, and stored by criminal justice and noncriminal justice entities. It outlines technical and procedural requirements to protect sensitive data used in law enforcement operations and ensures consistent data protection across jurisdictions and systems.

What is Criminal Justice Information?

• Biometric and Identity Data
  Personal identifiers such as fingerprints, facial recognition data, iris scans, and DNA profiles, as well as identity history like names, aliases, dates of birth, and identification numbers.
• Criminal History Information
  Records related to an individual’s interactions with the justice system, including arrests, charges, prosecutions, convictions, sentencing, and incarceration.
• Case-Related and Investigative Information
  Details from police reports, investigative files, case notes, surveillance findings, and information gathered during ongoing investigations.
• Administrative and Legal Records
  Documents such as warrants, court orders, protection orders, and records related to probation, parole, or supervised release.
  

Why is complying with CJIS needed?

• Protecting sensitive Law Enforcement Data
  CJI includes highly sensitive data such as arrest records, fingerprints, mugshots, investigative files, and biometric identifiers. It sets strict technical and administrative controls to safeguard this data from internal misuse or external threats.
• Preventing Unauthorized Access to CJI
  The policy enforces background checks, user access reviews, multi-factor authentication, and logging to reduce these risks and ensure that only authorized personnel can access CJI.
• Enabling Secure Data Sharing between Jurisdictions
  The CJIS Security Policy ensures that all entities follow the same rules, regardless of size or location, so that information can be exchanged without creating vulnerabilities in the system.
• Ensuring Trust Among Agencies Using Shared FBI Systems
  The FBI manages shared systems like NCIC, IAFIS, and NICS background checks for firearms. These databases are only as secure as their weakest link; if one agency has poor security practices, it can jeopardize the integrity of the entire network.
