FBI Criminal Justice Information Services

Noncriminal Justice Agency

Serves as our nations administrator for the appropriate security and management controls. As such, the FBI designates one criminal justice agency (on the CJIS network) as the CJIS Systems Agency (CSA) who is considered their point of contact in each state.

The CSA is duly authorized to oversee the security and management of all Criminal Justice Information (CJI) exchanges within the State of Michigan. Responsible for setting, maintaining, enforcing and reporting compliance to the FBI CJIS Division for such exchanges.

For the purpose of licensing and employment, certain authorized agencies request and receive fingerprint based Criminal History Record Information (CHRI) making the Noncriminal Justice Agency (NCJA) the next responsible records management entity.

Criminal Justice Information Exchange History

Flow Charts

NCJA Audits (1 of 4)

FBI CJIS conducts a triennial audit of each State on the use of CJI, including criminal history record information (CHRI-a subset of CJI).

FBI CJIS triennially audits will include their own randomly selected audit of NCJA’s.

Title 42 U.S.C., Chapter 140, Subchapter II, 14616; 28 CFR Part 901 § 4, requires MSP ATS to complete audits on all NCJA’s in the State of Michigan with access to CJI/CHRI.

Questions?

MSP and NCJA User Agreement (5.1)

NCJAs receiving CHRI from the MSP shall complete a Noncriminal Justice Agency User Agreement for the Use of Criminal History Record Information, RI-087 form.

This formal agreement is to specify how the exchange of CHRI is to be conducted between the MSP and the NCJA through applicable security and management controls. The user agreement outlines each party’s individual roles and responsibilities as it pertains to the day to day receipt and processing of CHRI and all that entails, including data ownership. The MSP and NCJA user agreements require the authorized signature of the agency representative (an employee of the agency with explicit authority to commit the agency to the agreement requirements) and the CJIS Security Officer of the MSP.

NCJA Outsourcing (1 of 2)

As of September 2013, our state does not meet the requirements for NCJA outsourcing of administrative functions to contractors. Regardless if dissemination is direct, indirect, physical, or verbal.

Therefore…

Receipt, retention, and/or dissemination of CHRI by the contractor is prohibited.

The existence or nonexistence of a record will not be physically or verbally shared with the contractor by a school.

Contractors will no longer be eligible to conduct fingerprint based criminal background checks.

NCJA Outsourcing (2 of 2)

Current Requirements:

Communicate with current contractors to determine the new fingerprinting process. Contracted employees are requested to complete a fingerprint criminal background check through the school agency’s fingerprint process. This is any individual assigned to regularly and continuously work under contract. (i.e. any substitute school personnel, or other school personnel normally contracted through a private entity, and most likely are indirectly hired by the school.)

Schools may institute a “red light/green light” notification to the contractor in order to indicate a specific individual is cleared or not cleared to work in the school.

Red Light – Green Light Example
