Study Notes

- CJIS stands for Criminal Justice Information System, related to criminal information management.
Information Dissemination
- Police agencies can disseminate information about wanted persons and fugitives to the public.
- Disseminating wanted persons and fugitives does not violate DELJIS dissemination laws.
- Providing DELJIS information to unauthorized persons is a criminal act.
Admissibility of Records
- Copies of DELJIS records must be true copies; falsified records are inadmissible in court.
- An official copy is required for any legal proceedings.
Incident Reporting
- An incident or call for service is termed a "complaint."
- The CJIS incident inquiry field provides critical information, including plate numbers, victims, witnesses, location, and date/time.
Support Systems

- Data Interfacing refers to the collaboration of two systems sharing information.
Types of Reports

Narrative Reporting
- Narratives in reports should include descriptive snapshots for clarity in legal contexts.
- They must be organized chronologically and logically, without personal opinions.
Criminal Charges
- The number of criminal charges does not always correlate with the number of victims; this statement is false.
- Charging a suspect with robbery typically does not also involve a charge of theft, as theft is a lesser included offense.
Reporting Purpose and Legal Standards

- A standard of probable cause must be established to justify an arrest warrant.
- Each warrant is tailored specifically to the defendant, although it may list multiple victims.
