assessments should be on a continual basis to ensure both quality assurance and <br /> compliance with standards. Errors discovered in NCIC records are classified as serious <br /> errors or non-serious errors. <br /> Serious errors: FBI CJIS will cancel the record and notify the entering agency via <br /> administrative message. The message provides the entire canceled record and a <br /> detailed explanation of the reason for cancellation. <br /> Non-serious errors: The CSA notifies the ORI by email of the corrective action to be <br /> taken. No further notification or action will be taken by the CSA, unless the CSA deems <br /> it appropriate. <br /> Timeliness <br /> WACIC/NCIC records must be entered promptly to ensure maximum system effectiveness. <br /> Records must be entered according to standards defined in the ACCESS Operations <br /> Manual. <br /> Accuracy and Completeness <br /> The accuracy of WACIC/NCIC data must be double checked and documented, including the <br /> initials and date by a second party. This must be done within seven days of the initial entry. <br /> The verification should include assuring the data in the WACIC/NCIC record matches the <br /> data in the investigative report and that other checks were made. Agencies lacking support <br /> staff for second party checks should require the case officer to check the record. <br /> Complete records of any kind include all information available on the person or property at <br /> the time of entry, otherwise known as"packing the record". Complete inquiries on persons <br /> include numbers that could be indexed in the record (i.e. Social Security Number(SSN), <br /> Vehicle Identification Number(VIN), Operator's License Number(OLN), etc.). Inquiries <br /> should be made on all names/aliases used by the suspect. Complete vehicle inquiries <br /> include VIN and license plate numbers. <br /> Record Validations <br /> WACIC/NCIC validation listings are prepared pursuant to a schedule, as published in the <br /> ACCESS Operations Manual. These listings are distributed to the originating agency via <br /> CJIS Validations. <br /> Validation requires the originating agency to confirm the record is complete, accurate, and <br /> active. Validation is accomplished by reviewing the original entry and current supporting <br /> documents and correspondence with any appropriate complainant, victim, prosecutor, court, <br /> motor vehicle registry files, or other appropriate source or individual. Validation efforts must <br /> be well documented. Validation efforts include what was done to complete the validation of <br /> the individual record. Documentation of phone calls, letters, dates and dispositions need to <br /> be included with each record that was validated. Many agencies document this information <br /> in the case file. In the event the agency is unsuccessful in its attempts to contact the victim, <br /> complainant, etc., the entering agency must make a determination based on the best <br /> information and knowledge available whether or not to retain the original entry in the file. <br /> The agency must review the validation list found within CJIS Validations. Once all of the <br /> records have been processed the system will advise ACCESS once they are complete. If <br /> the CSA is notified the records have not been validated within the specified period of time, <br /> the CSA will purge all records which are the subject of that agency's validation listings from <br /> 2021 WSP ACCESS User Acknowledgment <br /> 4 <br />
