DELJIS and CJIS Overview

DELJIS stands for Delaware Criminal Justice Information System, a key tool in maintaining criminal justice data.
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

LEISS stands for Law Enforcement Investigative Support System, facilitating investigations.
Data Interfacing refers to the collaboration of two systems sharing information.

Types of Reports

Field service reports document minor calls for service, such as property checks or abandoned vehicles.
Incident reports detail criminal acts or serious events.

Method of Operation (M.O.)

The M.O. refers to the method of operation, which includes unique details about a crime.

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

Reports are essential for accountability and liability purposes in law enforcement.
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.
